Title: Method for automated waste composition reporting
Inventor: RICHARD HANKINS
IPC: G06V10/88
Filed: 2021-06-03
Abstract: Method and system for estimating the composition of waste made up from a plurality of different types of object and materials. A processor coupled to a memory obtains at least one image of the waste 100. Three machine learning (ML) algorithms are applied. The first ML model classifies regions of the image according to material type 102. The second ML model classifies regions of the image according to object type 104. The material and object classifications are combined to generate a segmentation map 106 indicating locations of each material and object type in the image. A third ML model is applied to the segmentation map to quantify each material and object type 108 and estimate the composition of the waste. The composition may be quantified as a percentage of area of the image, an estimated weight, or a volume of each material and object type. Multiple images from different viewpoints may be used. The first ML algorithm may be a convolutional neural network (CNN) and the second a region-based CNN (R-CNN). A method of training three machine learning models (fig.1) by providing a training data set comprising a plurality of waste images is also claimed. Keypoint or bounding box analysis may be used.

Title: Threat assessment system
Inventor: PAUL WALTON
IPC: G08B13/196
Filed: 2021-07-08
Abstract: Method of determining suspicious behaviour (degree of threat), comprising: processing an image 600 to identify 608 and track 610 an object, thereby generating first order data; processing first order data over time to generate second order data 612; estimating a rapid first threat level from the first order data 614, 616; estimating a slower second threat level from the second order data 622; and generating threat assessment based on the first and second threat levels 618. Generating second order data may comprise processing the first order data using a probabilistic behaviour inference algorithm. Second order data may comprise a scenario probability score which is compared to predefined probabilistic behaviour scenarios (Figs. 11-20) to determine a most probable behaviour and hence a threat level. A master threat score may be based on: motion intensity; a rapid threat score; a threat level of a probable behaviour scenario; and/or a threat level associated with a state within a behaviour scenario. An action 626-634, such as an alarm, may be performed in dependence on the master threat score and confidence level. Low confidence threats may be subject to user feedback in order to refine the model parameters 630, 636, 638.

Title: Quick activation techniques for industrial augmented reality applications
Inventor: YICHENG PETER PAN
IPC: G06V20/20
Filed: 2021-07-13
Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) node location and activation technique for use in an AR system in a process plant or other field environment quickly and easily detects an AR node in a real-world environment either by user input or by analysis of the image of the environment using machine learning, and is then able to activate an AR scene within the AR system, which improves the usability and user experience of the AR system. The AR node location and activation system generally enables users to connect to and view an AR scene within an AR system or platform even when the user is not directly at an existing AR node, when the user is experiencing poor lighting conditions in the real-world environment and in situations in which the user is unfamiliar with the AR nodes that are in the AR system database. As a result, the user can quickly and easily activate the AR system and connect to an AR scene for an AR node close to the user in the field environment under varying weather and lighting conditions in the field and without requiring a large amount of image processing to locate the correct AR scene based on photographic images provided by the user. Also claimed is an invention allowing identification of an AR node on the basis of a photograph of the environment selected by a user.
