The present application discloses an imaging system for detecting human-object interaction and a method for detecting human-object interaction thereof. The imaging system includes an event sensor, an image sensor, and a controller. The event sensor is configured obtain an event data set of the targeted scene according to variations of light intensity sensed by pixels of the event sensor when an event occurs in the targeted scene. The image sensor is configured capture a visual image of the targeted scene. The controller is configured to detect human according to the event data set, trigger the image sensor to capture the visual image when the human is detected, and detect the human-object interaction in the targeted scene according to the visual image and a series of event data sets obtained by the event sensor during the event.

A control apparatus including an extraction unit configured to extract a subject from an image captured by an image capturing apparatus, an estimation unit configured to estimate a skeleton of the subject extracted by the extraction unit and a control unit configured to control an angle of view of the image capturing apparatus based on a result of the estimation by the estimation unit.

A method for addressing a shopper's eligibility for frictionless checkout may include identifying at least one shopper in a retail store designated as not eligible for frictionless checkout; in response to the identification of the at least one shopper designated as not eligible for frictionless checkout, automatically identifying an ineligibility condition associated with the at least one shopper's designation as not eligible for frictionless checkout; determining one or more actions for resolving the ineligibility condition; causing implementation of the one or more actions for resolving the ineligibility condition; receiving an indication of successful completion of the one or more actions; and in response to receipt of the indication of successful completion of the one more actions, generating a status indicator indicating that the at least one shopper is eligible for frictionless checkout and storing the generated status indicator in a memory.

An embodiment personal mobility includes a height adjustment device configured to adjust a height of a steering handle, an image sensor configured to measure user body information, and a controller configured to control the height adjustment device to adjust the height of the steering handle based on the user body information measured by the image sensor.

A method of recognizing gestures of a person from at least one image from a monocular camera, e.g. a vehicle camera, includes comp the steps: a) detecting key points of the person in the at least one image, b) connecting the key points to form a skeleton-like representation of body parts of the person, wherein the skeleton-like representation represents a relative position and a relative orientation of the respective body parts of the person, c) recognizing a gesture of the person from the skeleton-like representation of the person, and d) outputting a signal indicating the gesture.

Various client devices include displays and one or more image capture devices configured to capture video data. Different users of an online system may authorize client devices to exchange information captured by their respective image capture devices. Additionally, a client device modifies captured video data based on users identified in the video data. For example, the client device changes parameters of the image capture device to more prominently display a user identified in the video data and may further change parameters of the image capture device based on gestures or movement of the user identified in the video data. The client device may apply multiple models to captured video data to modify the captured video data or subsequent capturing of video data by the image capture device.

The present invention relates to a method for deriving a 3D data from image data comprising: receiving, from at least one camera, image data representing an environment; detecting, from the image data, at least one object within the environment; classifying the at least one detected object, wherein the method comprises, for each classified object of the classified at least one objects: determining a 2D skeleton of the classified object by implementing a neural network to identify features of the classified object in the image data corresponding to the classified object; and constructing a 3D skeleton for the classified object, comprising mapping the determined 2D skeleton to 3D.

A feature learning system (100) includes a similarity definition unit (101), a learning data generation unit (102), and a learning unit (103). The similarity definition unit (101) defines a degree of similarity between two classes related to two feature vectors, respectively. The learning data generation unit (102) acquires the degree of similarity, based on a combination of classes to which a plurality of feature vectors acquired as processing targets belong, respectively, and generates learning data including the plurality of feature vectors and the degree of similarity. The learning unit (103) performs machine learning using the learning data.

A method for preventing a collision between a first object and a second object using a camera. The method includes capturing images of the first object and the second object using the camera, accessing a database of point clouds, and identify a first point cloud corresponding to the first object and a second point cloud corresponding to the second object within the database of point clouds, where the first point cloud corresponds to the first object being a person. The method further includes calculating a distance between the first object and the second object and comparing the distance to a threshold. The method further includes generating a notification when the distance is below the threshold.

An electronic device and a method for tracking an object thereof are provided. The electronic device identifies whether there is a first object being tracked, when obtaining an image and rotation information of a camera of the electronic device, corrects state information of the first object using the rotation information, when there is the first object, detects a second object matched to the first object from the image based on the corrected state information, and tracks a position of the second object using an object tracking algorithm.
