Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate end-user defined policy management. An example apparatus includes an edge node interface to detect addition of a networked user device to a service gateway, and to extract publish information from the networked user device. The example apparatus also includes a device context manager to identify tag parameters based on the publish information from the networked user device, and a tag manager to prohibit unauthorized disclosure of the networked user device by setting values of the tag parameters based on a user profile associated with a type of the networked user device.

Methods and apparatus to facilitate end-user defined policy management

Techniques are disclosed for scene analysis including the use of acoustic imaging and computer audio vision processes for monitoring applications. In some embodiments, an acoustic image device is utilized with a microphone array, image sensor, acoustic image controller, and a controller. In some cases, the controller analyzes at least a portion of the spatial spectrum within the acoustic image data to detect sound variations by identifying regions of pixels having intensities exceeding a particular threshold. In addition, the controller can detect two or more co-occurring sound events based on the relative distance between pixels with intensities exceeding the threshold. The resulting data fusion of image pixel data, audio sample data, and acoustic image data can be analyzed using computer audio vision, sound/voice recognition, and acoustic signature techniques to recognize/identify audio and visual features associated with the event and to empirically or theoretically determine one or more conditions causing each event.
