System For Annotating Media Content For Automatic Content Understanding

US Patent:
20130283143, Oct 24, 2013
Filed:
Mar 15, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/836605
Inventors:
Eric David Petajan - Watchung NJ, US
David Eugene Weite - Woodcliff Lake NJ, US
Douglas W. Vunic - Darien CT, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/24
US Classification:
715230
Abstract:
A system for annotating frames in a media stream frames includes a pattern recognition system (PRS) to generate PRS output metadata for a frame; an archive for storing ground truth metadata (GTM); a device to merge the GTM and PRS output metadata and thereby generate proposed annotation data (PAD); and a user interface for use by the HA. The user interface includes an editor and an input device used by the HA to approve GTM for the frame. An optimization system receives the approved GTM and metadata output by the PRS, and adjusts input parameters for the PRS to minimize a distance metric corresponding to a difference between the GTM and PRS output metadata.

High Definition Television Arrangement With Signal Selections Adapted To The Available Transmission Capacity

US Patent:
50634445, Nov 5, 1991
Filed:
Mar 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/495523
Inventors:
Scott C. Knauer - Mountainside NJ
Arun N. Netravali - Westfield NJ
Eric D. Petajan - Millburn NJ
Robert J. Safranek - New Providence NJ
Peter H. Westerink - Millburn NJ
Assignee:
AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H04N 713
H04N 7133
H04N 7137
US Classification:
358133
Abstract:
A high definition television system that is characterized by low transmission bandwidth is achieved by removing redundancies in the signal, encoding the remaining signals, and transmitting the encoded signal in a manner that is most compatible with the applicable standards. In the encoding, groups of signals to be sent are mapped to codebook vectors and the identities of the codebook vectors are sent together with those signals of the groups of signals that correspond to the codebook vectors. To insure that the total number of signals that are sent does not exceed the available capacity, the signals are sorted by a selected importance parameter and assigned for transmission in descending order of importance until the capacity is exhausted. Signals that are not assigned for transmission are discarded.

Electronic Facial Tracking And Detection System And Method And Apparatus For Automated Speech Recognition

US Patent:
49759604, Dec 4, 1990
Filed:
Jun 3, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/741298
Inventors:
Eric D. Petajan - Millburn NJ
International Classification:
G10L 708
G06K 900
US Classification:
381 43
Abstract:
The apparatus includes circuitry for obtaining a video image of an individual's face, circuitry for electronically locating and tracking a first feature, such as the nostrils, of the facial image for use as reference coordinates and circuitry responsive to the reference coordinates for locating and tracking a second facial feature, such as the mouth, of the facial image with respect to the first feature. By tracking the location of the nostrils, the apparatus can follow the movement of the mouth, and thereby automatically recognize speech. In a preferred embodiment, the video image is grayscale encoded and the raster lines are smoothed to eliminate noise. The transitions between gray levels of the smoothed image are encoded and the resulting transition code is used to form a contour map of the image from which region parameters are computed which can be compared against stored speech templates to recognize speech. In the preferred embodiment, acoustic speech recognition is combined with visual speech recognition to improve accuracy.

Motion Compensation Image Interpolation--Frame Rate Conversion For Hdtv

US Patent:
62295705, May 8, 2001
Filed:
Sep 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/161337
Inventors:
Kobad Bugwadia - Sterling VA
Eric D. Petajan - Watchung NJ
Narindra N. Puri - Monmouth Junction NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H04N 701
US Classification:
348441
Abstract:
A process for up-converting an existing video source signal having a low frequency (frames/second) to a high frequency signal for use with High Definition Television (HDTV). The process samples the existing frames in the existing video signal and calculates integer displacements of pels within the existing frames. A polynomial curve fit is then performed on the displacements to obtain estimates of horizontal and vertical displacements of each block in each existing frame. Based on the alignment of the blocks within a sampling grid on each frame, the blocks are segregated into groups. The block groups are then used to interpolate missing or required frames of the high frequency signal in a piecemeal manner by utilizing blocks of a particular block group to estimate a corresponding block in a frame of the high frequency signal.

High Definition Television Arrangement Including Noise Immunity Means

US Patent:
50832069, Jan 21, 1992
Filed:
Mar 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/495507
Inventors:
Scott C. Knauer - Mountainside NJ
Arun N. Netravali - Westfield NJ
Eric D. Petajan - Millburn NJ
Peter H. Westerink - Millburn NJ
Assignee:
AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
H04N 712
H04N 700
US Classification:
358141
Abstract:
A high definition television system that is characterized by low transmission bandwidth is achieved by removing much of the redundancies in the signal, efficiently encoding the remaining signals, and transmitting the encoded signal in a manner that is most compatible with the applicable standards. To enhance noise immunity a number of techniques are employed. One is to encode adjacent low-amplitude signals into larger signal samples, another one is the introduction of a controllable gain feature, a third one is the introduction of both fixed and variable leak, and still another one is the incorporation of signal scrambling.

Face Feature Analysis For Automatic Lipreading And Character Animation

US Patent:
60289600, Feb 22, 2000
Filed:
Sep 20, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/716959
Inventors:
Hans Peter Graf - Lincroft NJ
Eric David Petajan - Watchung NJ
Assignee:
Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G06K 946
US Classification:
382203
Abstract:
A face feature analysis which begins by generating multiple face feature candidates, e. g. , eyes and nose positions, using an isolated frame face analysis. Then, a nostril tracking window is defined around a nose candidate and tests are applied to the pixels therein based on percentages of skin color area pixels and nostril area pixels to determine whether the nose candidate represents an actual nose. Once actual nostrils are identified, size, separation and contiguity of the actual nostrils is determined by projecting the nostril pixels within the nostril tracking window. A mouth window is defined around the mouth region and mouth detail analysis is then applied to the pixels within the mouth window to identify inner mouth and teeth pixels and therefrom generate an inner mouth contour. The nostril position and inner mouth contour are used to generate a synthetic model head. A direct comparison is made between the inner mouth contour generated and that of a synthetic model head and the synthetic model head is adjusted accordingly.
