Title: Innovations by Inventor Xia Yang
Introduction
Xia Yang is an accomplished inventor based in San Jose, CA, with a focus on advanced computer vision technologies. He holds a total of 7 patents that contribute significantly to the field of analytics for people and vehicles.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "People and vehicle analytics on the edge." This invention involves a computer vision processor that generates hyperzooms for persons or vehicles from image frames captured by a camera. The hyperzooms include a first hyperzoom associated with the persons or vehicles. The processor tracks traffic patterns while minimizing network usage by predicting positions using a Kalman Filter. The second hyperzoom is used to detect the persons or vehicles, and their positions are updated accordingly. The first hyperzoom is then removed, and tracks are generated based on the updated positions. Metadata from these tracks is stored in a key-value database on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the camera.
Another notable patent is "Hyperzoom attribute analytics on the edge." This invention allows a computer vision processor to extract attributes of persons or vehicles from hyperzooms. The attributes include colors of clothing or vehicles, and the extraction is performed using a feature extractor of an on-camera convolutional neural network (CNN). The analytics generated are stored in a key-value database located on a memory card of the camera, allowing for efficient querying and filtering of traffic patterns.
