SPATIAL ACTION LOCALIZATION IN THE FUTURE (SALF) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18300844 titled 'SPATIAL ACTION LOCALIZATION IN THE FUTURE (SALF)

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for spatial action localization in the future (SALF) using a combination of encoder, future feature predictor, and decoder to predict future actions in a video clip.

  • The method involves feeding a frame from a video clip through an encoder to generate a latent feature.
  • The latent feature, along with latent features from previous time steps, is fed through a future feature predictor to generate cumulative information for the time step.
  • The cumulative information is then passed through a decoder to generate a predicted action area and classification.
  • An action is implemented based on the predicted action area and classification.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video surveillance systems, autonomous vehicles, and human-computer interaction for predicting future actions based on past behavior.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately predicting future actions in a video sequence, which can be useful for various applications such as security monitoring and behavior analysis.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in predicting future actions, which can lead to better decision-making in real-time scenarios and enhanced overall system performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • "Predictive Action Localization Technology for Enhanced Video Surveillance Systems"

Original Abstract Submitted

According to one aspect, spatial action localization in the future (SALF) may include feeding a frame from a time step of a video clip through an encoder to generate a latent feature, feeding the latent feature and one or more latent features from one or more previous time steps of the video clip through a future feature predictor to generate a cumulative information for the time step, feeding the cumulative information through a decoder to generate a predicted action area and a predicted action classification associated with the predicted action area, and implementing an action based on the predicted action area and the predicted action classification. The encoder may include a 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) and/or a 3D-CNN. The future feature predictor may be based on an ordinary differential equation (ODE) function.
