Latest Patents

Kawasaki is associated with 1 patent: “Object Detection Considering Tendency of Object Location.” The invention describes a method, computer system, and computer program product for object detection. It uses annotated images containing rectangles around objects and labels identifying their classes to estimate areas where objects of each class are more or less likely to appear. During model validation, the method adjusts prediction confidence values according to an object’s class and rectangle location, then evaluates accuracy across different correction factors to select the one that produces the highest accuracy.

Career Highlights

Kawasaki is associated with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). His patent reflects work on improving the accuracy of trained object-detection models by incorporating information about object-location patterns.
