Title: Innovations by Inventor Tian Lan

Introduction

Tian Lan is a prominent inventor based in Seattle, WA (US), known for his contributions to technology and innovation. He holds a total of 8 patents, showcasing his expertise in developing advanced systems and methodologies.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents involves detecting interactions from features determined from sequences of images captured using one or more cameras. This technology allows cameras to capture images and process clips to generate sets of features representing product spaces and actors depicted within such images. The system classifies the clips as depicting or not depicting a shopping event. When consecutive clips are determined to depict a shopping event, features of such clips are combined into a sequence and transferred to a multi-camera system. A shopping hypothesis is generated based on these sequences, along with information regarding items detected within the hands of actors, to summarize shopping activity and update records accordingly.

Another significant patent focuses on the re-identification of agents using image analysis and machine learning. In this system, tracklets representative of the position of each agent are maintained along with a confidence score. If the confidence score falls below a threshold, image data of the agent is processed to generate embedding vectors. These vectors are compared with those of other candidate agents to determine the agent's identity and update their position.
