Coordinated Motion and Audio Experience Using Looped Motions

Номер: US20120053015A1
Автор: Chris Esaki, Keiichi Yano
Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

A system for interacting with an application via a user interface is provided. A user is prompted to perform a looped motion such as an exercise move or dance move depicted by the application. User motion data is received from one or more sensors connected to a computing device executing the application. The user's progress of performing a sequence of a looped motion is determined based on the user motion data. In one embodiment, a user may perform one or more looped motions by choosing from multiple looped motions depicted by the application. In another embodiment, a user may perform looped motions at different skill levels based on a skill level determined for the user. In one embodiment, the looped motions performed by the user are displayed to the user, in an order of the looped motions performed by the user, via the user interface.

Принадлежит: International Business Machines Corp

Determination of human behavior from an alignment of data streams includes acquiring visual image primitives from a video input comprising visual information relevant to a human activity. The primitives are temporally aligned to an optimally hypothesized sequence of primitives transformed from a sequence of transactions as a function of a distance metric between the observed primitive sequence and the transformed primitive sequence. More particularly, transforming includes comparing the distance metric costs and choosing and performing the lowest cost of temporally matching the observed primitives to one or more transactions, deleting a primitive, or associating a primitive with a pseudo transaction marker. Accordingly, alerts are issued based on analysis of the transformation of primitives.

An image such as a depth image of a scene may be received, observed, or captured by a device and a model of a user in the image may be generated. The model may then be adjusted to mimic one or more movements by the user. For example, the model may be a skeletal model having joints and bones that may be adjusted into poses corresponding to the movements of the user in physical space. A motion capture file of the movement of the user may be generated in real-time based on the adjusted model. For example, a set of vectors that define the joints and bones for each of the poses of the adjusted model may be captured and rendered in the motion capture file.

Some embodiments include a video copy detection approach based on speeded up robust features (SURF) trajectory building, local sensitive hash (LSH) indexing, and spatial-temporal-scale registration. First, interesting points' trajectories are extracted by SURF. Next, an efficient voting based spatial-temporal-scale registration approach is applied to estimate the optimal transformation parameters (shift and scale) and achieve the final video copy detection results by propagations of video segments in both spatial-temporal and scale directions. To speed up the detection speed, local sensitive hash (LSH) indexing is used to index trajectories for fast queries of candidate trajectories.

The new depth image is also used to update the reference image. The data in the motion image is grouped and associated with one or more objects being tracked. The tracking of the objects is updated by the grouped data in the motion image. The new positions of the objects are used to update an application.

A depth image of a scene may be received, observed, or captured by a device. The depth image may then be analyzed to determine whether the depth image includes a human target. For example, the depth image may include one or more targets including a human target and non-human targets. Each of the targets may be flood filled and compared to a pattern to determine whether the target may be a human target. If one or more of the targets in the depth image includes a human target, the human target may be scanned. A skeletal model of the human target may then be generated based on the scan.

Techniques are provided for a gesture device to detect a series of gestures performed by a user and execute corresponding electronic commands associated with the gestures. The gesture device detects a gesture constituting movements from a user in three-dimensional space and generates a confidence score value for the gesture. The gesture device selects an electronic command associated with the gesture and compares the electronic command with a prior electronic command associated with a prior gesture previously detected by the gesture device in order to determine a compatibility metric between the electronic command and the prior electronic command. The gesture device then adjusts the confidence score value based on the compatibility metric to obtain a modified confidence score value. The electronic command is executed by the gesture device when the modified confidence score value is greater than a predetermined threshold confidence score value.

Disclosed are computer-implemented methods and systems for authentication of users through capturing and analyzing biometrics data such as keystroke dynamics. Once the keystroke dynamics is acquired, a corresponding feature vector related is calculated by calculating multiple sub-feature values using various algorithms such as normalization, relations between keystroke dynamics events, relations of sums of various sub-feature values, and so forth. The feature vector is then selectively compared to a group of reference feature vectors associated with the user. If it is determined that the newly obtained feature vector is similar to the selected group reference feature vectors, the user is authenticated. The process of determining similarity involves decomposition of feature vectors and reference feature vectors onto multiple sub-vectors and calculation similarity therebetween.

Автор: Ivan Poupyrev, Jaime Lien, Nicholas Edward Gillian
Принадлежит: Google LLC

Various embodiments wirelessly detect micro gestures using multiple antenna of a gesture sensor device. At times, the gesture sensor device transmits multiple outgoing radio frequency (RF) signals, each outgoing RF signal transmitted via a respective antenna of the gesture sensor device. The outgoing RF signals are configured to help capture information that can be used to identify micro-gestures performed by a hand. The gesture sensor device captures incoming RF signals generated by the outgoing RF signals reflecting off of the hand, and then analyzes the incoming RF signals to identify the micro-gesture.

Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for a gesture recognizer system architecture. A recognizer engine is provided, which receives user motion data and provides that data to a plurality of filters. A filter corresponds to a gesture, that may then be tuned by an application receiving information from the gesture recognizer so that the specific parameters of the gesture—such as an arm acceleration for a throwing gesture—may be set on a per-application level, or multiple times within a single application. Each filter may output to an application using it a confidence level that the corresponding gesture occurred, as well as further details about the user motion data.

The highlights may be segments of the video stream, such as a broadcast of a sporting event, that are of particular interest. According to one method, video frames of the video stream are stored. One or more information cards embedded in a decoded video frame may be detected by analyzing one or more predetermined video frame regions. Image segmentation, edge detection, and/or closed contour identification may then be performed on identified video frame region(s). Further processing may include obtaining a minimum rectangular perimeter area enclosing all remaining segments, which may then be further processed to determine precise boundaries of information card(s). The card image(s) may be analyzed to obtain metadata, which may be stored in association with at least one of the video frames.
