Title: Innovations of Vladimir Y Mariano
Introduction
Vladimir Y Mariano is a notable inventor based in Laguna, Philippines. He has made significant contributions to the field of image processing and analysis, holding three patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency of object tracking and event detection in image sequences.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and system for efficient annotation of object trajectories in image sequences." This invention provides a method and apparatus for quickly marking object trajectories in an image sequence. Traditionally, tracking an object involves manually marking its location in each image. However, Mariano's invention allows for tracking in one direction with a single stroke of a spatial input device, followed by tracking in an orthogonal direction. The intersections of these tracks form a 2-D neo-trajectory, which is then interpolated onto the image sequence. This method is beneficial for quick manual annotation and for optimizing automatic tracking algorithms.
Another significant patent is "Method and system for event detection by multi-scale image invariant analysis." This invention detects scene events in an image sequence by analyzing the occlusion of user-defined regions of interest. It employs multi-scale groups of nearby pixel locations using contrast functions that remain invariant under changing illumination conditions. This feature allows for the classification of pixel locations as occluded or not, enabling the detection of scene events based on occlusion. Applications of this invention include automated surveillance and market research.
