Title: Innovations of George Peter Carr
Introduction
George Peter Carr is an accomplished inventor based in Pittsburgh, PA (US). He holds a total of 9 patents that showcase his expertise in camera technology and autonomous systems. His work has significantly contributed to advancements in mimicking human camera operation and improving object tracking.
Latest Patents
One of Carr's latest patents is a method and system for mimicking human camera operation. This innovation provides an approach for an autonomous camera system to replicate the actions of a human camera operator. The system formulates camera planning as a supervised regression problem, utilizing video inputs from both a human-operated camera and a stationary camera with a wider field of view. The automatic broadcasting application extracts feature vectors and pan-tilt-zoom states, learning a regressor that predicts the settings a human operator would choose. This allows the autonomous camera to achieve planned settings that resemble human operation in similar situations.
Another notable patent focuses on automatic device operation and object tracking based on learning of smooth predictors. This invention predicts trajectories for real-time video capture and object tracking while maintaining smoothness constraints. The temporally consistent search and learn (TC-SEARN) algorithm is employed to train a regressor for camera planning. By analyzing video inputs from both human-operated and stationary cameras, the application learns to predict camera trajectories effectively.
