Title: Computer-implemented method, computer program and apparatus for video processing, and video surveillance system comprising such an apparatus
Inventor: JIMMI BENDTSON
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2020-10-23
Abstract: A method of video processing, for example in video surveillance, comprises obtaining a first video sequence of a target area comprising a first predetermined object or activity of interest and obtaining a second video sequence of the target area comprising a second predetermined object or activity of interest. The method further comprises determining whether a recording period of the first video sequence and a recording period of the second video sequence overlap for a time period; and, where the recording periods of the video sequences overlap, defining at least one first video clip using frames of the first and/or second video sequence(s) from at least the overlap time period. In a related method, user queries related to first and second objects or activities of interest are made, and the respective video sequences are obtained from a database. Additional video sequences of the target area may be obtained, with determination whether a recording period of each additional video sequence overlaps with other additional video sequences and/or the first and/or second video sequences. Metadata may be generated relating to predetermined objects, e.g. people (age, gender), cars (colour, vehicle type), licence (number) plates, etc, or activities of interest (e.g. behaviour such as loitering).
Patent GB-2600719-A (GB)
Title: Fluorescence assay
Inventor: James H Felce
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 2020-11-05
Abstract: Excitation light source 23 illuminates a sample. Fluorescence is detected in multiple colour channels. The sample is labelled by incubating with at least two of a fluorescent probe (perhaps fluorescently labelled lectin) that binds to a pathogen surface carbohydrate, a nucleic acid stain, and a membrane stain, each detectable in a different colour channel. Fluorescence image data are produced for each channel, candidate objects fluorescing above a threshold are detected, and analysis is made of whether the objects are pathogens, and if so, what type. In an aspect, the analysis is made by a machine learning algorithm, trained using a labelled set of training data indicating signal intensity in each of multiple colour channels for candidate objects in fluorescence image data. Data corresponding to multiple patient samples are pooled and analysed. The pathogen may be a coronavirus, perhaps SARS-CoV-2, a respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, rhinovirus, or adenovirus. Sample may flow on the axis of an objective lens through the focal plane, illuminated by a light sheet.

Title: Deidentifying code for cross-organization remediation knowledge
Inventor: Asankhaya Sharma
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2020-11-10
Abstract: To preserve privacy when leveraging organization-specific remediation knowledge for flaw remediation across organizations, program code is deidentified to remove code which potentially identifies its source/origin. Deidentification operates based on structure of flaws and fixes at the level of source code constructs based on an abstract syntax tree (AST) or other structural context representation of a fix and corresponding flaw. Potentially identifying portions of a fix indicated in its AST are determined and modified (e.g., removed or obfuscated) without impacting AST structure. Deidentified remediation knowledge originating from different organizations is used to train a fix suggestion model(s) which learns structural context of fixes and corresponding flaws and, once trained, generates predictions indicating suggested fixes to flaws based on structural contexts of the flaws. Deidentification can occur before training of the fix suggestion model(s) or during prediction so potentially identifying program code is removed before suggested fixes are consumed by different organizations.
