In multimedia object tracking and merging of tracked objects, an object is tracked through frames of multimedia content until a frame appears in which the tracked object is not detected. A first track is designated as one or more consecutive frames in which the tracked object is detected, the first track ending at the first frame. Tracking continues to try to detect the tracked object in a second frame subsequent to the first frame. If the tracked object is not again detected, information about the first track is output. If the tracked object is detected subsequently, a second track of consecutive tracked object detection is designated. The tracked objects in the two tracks are then compared with the aid of trained data models, and a matching score is determined to reflect the degree of match. If the matching score meets or exceeds a first threshold, the compared tracks are merged using the same identifier assigned to both tracks. If the matching score does not exceed a second threshold that is less than the first threshold, the tracks may be discarded as showing no match. If the matching score falls between the first and second thresholds, an indication is output for further analysis of the compared tracked objects.

This disclosure describes techniques for continuous improvement of machine learning models (also called data models) in a Content Management System (CMS). In one example, a CMS may store a set of data models for each application such as plate number recognition, facial recognition, a determination of likelihood of assault to a law enforcement officer in a traffic violation or robbery scenario, and car identification. In an example embodiment, a predictive model may be used to select a data model from the plurality of data models. The selected data model may be further improved or trained to a new sample of data features to generate an output pattern (e.g., likelihood of assault to a law enforcement officer).

Artificial intelligence (AI) trained data model selection

Image readability is improved via one or more patterns taken using different light wavelengths. A first pattern may include alphanumeric characters, barcodes, Quick Response (QR) codes, or a similar unique code that can be used to identify vehicle license plates, road signals, charts, placards, advertisements, or the like, using a light wavelength such as a visible light wavelength. A paired second pattern may include a copy of the first pattern or a different pattern but constructed with a different material that responds to a different light wavelength e.g., Ultra-Violet (UV) light wavelength. In one example, the paired second pattern may be identified and used as a reference for identifying the first pattern. This technique of using multi-patterns for identifying road signals, charts, placards, advertisements, and particularly the vehicle license plates during extreme weather conditions may improve law enforcement operations or other similar purposes.

Techniques for improving an image readability using one or more patterns

A content management system (CMS) manages content for trained machine learning (ML) models. The CMS may develop first, second, and third trained ML models from corresponding datasets, to output respective values of dependent variables derived from data underlying the datasets as independent variables, the respective outputs having statistical confidences in the accuracy of their predictions. The third dataset results from combining the first and second datasets, and the third trained ML model is derived from training on the third dataset. The datasets and ML models are stored in a data store, with the trained ML models associated with respective datasets, the datasets with respective underlying data, the trained ML models with respective statistical confidences and corresponding thresholds, and the trained ML models with metadata indicating independent and dependent variables. The datasets and ML models can be versioned and the provenance of the datasets tracked for future ML modeling.

A video file may be presented via a user application that displays one or more video frames of the video file. A user request to perform an object detection for objects of a specific object type in a video frame of the video file may be received from the user application. A machine-learning model of a plurality of machine-learning models that is configured to detect objects of the specific object type may be applied to the video frame to detect an object of the specific object type in the video frame. Each of the plurality of machine-learning models may be trained to detect objects of a corresponding object type. Subsequently, an object tracking algorithm may be applied to one or more additional video frames of the video file to track the object of the specific object type across the one or more additional video frames.

This disclosure describes techniques for implementing an asset bucket on user devices for organizing assets in a database. Assets may include, without limitation, stored multimedia data from various sources, grouped multimedia data, events, conditions, parameters, environmental data, and other data or telemetry data that are stored in a network operating center (NOC) server database or a third-party database.

The communication broker service may receive an indication from the distributed queue management service that the distributed queue management service has retrieved message data from a data distribution outbox of a first microservice. The communication broker service may apply a business logic to identify one or more second microservices that are configured to receive the message data from the first microservice. The communication broker server may then direct the distributed queue management service to distribute the message data of the first microservice from a data store of the distributed queue management service to one or more corresponding data distribution inboxes of the one or more second microservices.

A system and method for multi-media content bookmarking with provenance supplements multi-media content captured by media recording devices used or carried by a police officer during the course of his/her duties with information inputted by the police officer, wherein the added information is in the form of metadata. In at least one embodiment, a user interface (UI) tool for inputting the supplemental metadata is the source of provenance for the metadata, and the supplemental metadata is tagged to the captured content in a manner that preserves the provenance of the captured content. In a further embodiment, the user interface further enables the officer to create an affidavit as to the veracity of the supplemental metadata. The supplemental metadata may be stored in conjunction with the captured multi-media content in a secure data storage, but the content itself is not altered, thereby maintaining provenance of the content.
