Abstract

A data model computing device receives a first data model with a first set of attributes, a first margin of error, a first set of predictions, and an underlying data set. Subsequently, the data model computing device receives a second data model with a second set of attributes, as the test data for a machine learning module. Based on the first and second data model, the machine learning function generates a second set of predictions and a second margin of error. The data model computing device performs a statistical analysis on the first and second set of predictions and the first and second margin of error to determine if the second set of predictions converge with the first set of predictions and second margin of error is narrower than the first margin of error, to determine if the second data model improves the prediction results of the machine learning module.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for capturing still images during video streaming to identify patterns in a region-of-interest on the captured still images. The video streaming may be performed by an imaging device that includes or is communicatively connected to one or more sensors (e.g., radar, light sensor, etc.) The one or more sensors may be configured to perform data measurements such as vehicle speed measurements, light intensity measurements, and/or the like. In one example, during the video streaming, the data measurement may be compared with a corresponding threshold. In this example, the imaging device may be triggered to capture still images of the surrounding area based on the comparison between the data measurement and the corresponding threshold. Thereafter, the still images may be processed to identify the region-of-interest on the still images.

Subsequently, at least one of the data processing microservice or the incoming sensor data stored in the faulty data cache may be modified such that the incoming sensor data is processed by the data processing microservice without the error. Following the processing, the incoming sensor data may be deleted from the faulty data queue of the data processing platform.

Abstract

A communication broker service of a microservices platform may direct a distributed queue management service to monitor multiple data distribution outboxes of a plurality of microservices of the microservices platform for message data. The com¬ munication broker service may receive an indication from the distributed queue management service that the distributed queue man¬ agement service has retrieved message data from a data distribution outbox of a first microservice. The communication broker service may apply a business logic to identify one or more second microservices that are configured to receive the message data from the first microservice. The communication broker server may then direct the distributed queue management service to distribute the message data of the first microservice from a data store of the distributed queue management service to one or more corresponding data distri¬ bution inboxes of the one or more second microservices.

Abstract

In multimedia object tracking and merging, an object is tracked through content frames of a first track until a frame appears in which the tracked object is not detected. Tracking continues to try to detect the tracked object. If the tracked object is not again detected, information about the first track is output. If the tracked object is detected subsequently, a second track of consecutive tracked object detection is designated. The tracked objects in the two tracks are then compared, and a matching score is determined to reflect the degree of match. If the matching score meets or exceeds a first threshold, the compared tracks are merged using the same identifier assigned to both tracks. If the matching score does not exceed a second threshold less than the first threshold, the tracks may be discarded. If the matching score falls between the thresholds, an indication is output for further analysis.

Abstract

In multimedia object tracking and merging of tracked objects, an object is tracked through frames of multimedia content until a frame appears in which the tracked object is not detected. A first track is designated as one or more consecutive frames in which the tracked object is detected, the first track ending at the first frame. Tracking continues to try to detect the tracked object in a second frame subsequent to the first frame. If the tracked object is not again detected, information about the first track is output. If the tracked object is detected subsequently, a second track of consecutive tracked object detection is designated. The tracked objects in the two tracks are then compared with the aid of trained data models, and a matching score is determined to reflect the degree of match. If the matching score meets or exceeds a first threshold, the compared tracks are merged using the same identifier assigned to both tracks. If the matching score does not exceed a second threshold that is less than the first threshold, the tracks may be discarded as showing no match. If the matching score falls between the first and second thresholds, an indication is output for further analysis of the compared tracked objects.

Abstract

Techniques for audio content searching in multi-media content are described. Such techniques may be utilized to enhance investigator productivity while reviewing captured multi-media content, in particular, audio and video evidence captured during an incident. ML models may be trained to identify audio content portions and automatically generate metadata tags. ML models may be trained to track audio with a set of characteristics throughout a set of multi-media content items. ML models may be trained, and captured multi-media content may be processed centrally, for example, at a network operations center (NOC). Alternatively, or in addition, at least some model training and/or content processing may be performed at the network's edge, for example, performed by a content capturing device such as a body-worn camera and/or at a capture-local communications hub such as an in-vehicle computer of a law enforcement vehicle.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for a consumer application that integrates a model-controller-view (MCV) design pattern with an event streaming platform such as an Apache Kafka™ in a network operation center (NOC) server to support NOC workspace interoperability. The MCV design pattern may include a pattern that divides an application into three main logical components (e.g., model component, controller component, and view component) to handle specific aspects of the application. In one example, the model component decouples the telemetry data streams from an event stream platform, and the controller component filters a queried set of decoupled telemetry data streams to dynamically control views to be rendered in the view component.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for creating a universal schema with default fields that support sensor formats of different devices. In one example, the universal schema supports substantial equivalents between data fields in different sensor formats. Further, a sensor format may be configured to support inheritance and aggregation of sensor formats in prior devices. Accordingly, the mapping of sensor formats that supports inheritance and aggregation in the universal schema may provide several advantages such as capturing a mapping of substantive equivalents between the fields in different sensor formats.

Abstract

Sensor data from one or more protective equipment sensors of protective equipment worn by a person are received. In response to determining based at least on the sensor data that no emergency situation occurred for the person, sensor data is sent from the body-worn hub to a server when a route of communication is available. In response to determining based at least on the sensor data that an emergency situation occurred for the person and at least one route of communication is currently available, the sensor data is sent from the body-worn hub to the server via at least one route of communication. However, in response to determining based at least on the sensor data that an emergency situation occurred for the person and there is no available route of communication, the sensor data is analyzed at the body-worn hub to determine whether the person is injured.

Abstract

Sensor data from one or more protective equipment sensors of protective equipment worn by a person are received. In response to determining based at least on the sensor data that no emergency situation occurred for the person, sensor data is sent from the body-worn hub to a server when a route of communication is available. In response to determining based at least on the sensor data that an emergency situation occurred for the person and at least one route of communication is currently available, the sensor data is sent from the body-worn hub to the server via at least one route of communication. However, in response to determining based at least on the sensor data that an emergency situation occurred for the person and there is no available route of communication, the sensor data is analyzed at the body-worn hub to determine whether the person is injured.

Abstract

A hub may receive event data captured by a body-worn device and store the event data in a memory of the hub. The event data is then backed up from the hub to a memory of an additional hub communicatively connected to the hub. A copy of event data for a predetermined period of time as included in the event data is then transferred from the memory of the hub to a data store of a network operations center (NOC). In response to the transfer being complete, the hub may delete the event data for the predetermined period of time, send a first command to the additional hub directing the additional hub to delete a backup of the event data for the predetermined period of time, or send a second command to the body-worn device directing the body-worn device to delete the event data for the predetermined period of time.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for capturing still images during video streaming to identify patterns in a region-of-interest on the captured still images. The video streaming may be performed by an imaging device that includes or is communicatively connected to one or more sensors (e.g., radar, light sensor, etc.) The one or more sensors may be configured to perform data measurements such as vehicle speed measurements, light intensity measurements, and/or the like. In one example, during the video streaming, the data measurement may be compared with a corresponding threshold. In this example, the imaging device may be triggered to capture still images of the surrounding area based on the comparison between the data measurement and the corresponding threshold. Thereafter, the still images may be processed to identify the region-of-interest on the still images.

Abstract

A body-worn hub may detect that a first battery charge level of a first battery in a body-worn device connected to the body-worn hub via a wired connection is at or below a first battery charge level threshold. Accordingly, the body-worn hub may route power from the body-worn hub to the body-worn device via the wired connection to charge the first battery when a second battery charge level of a second battery in the body-worn hub is above a second battery charge level threshold. However, in response to the first battery of the body-worn device being charged to a third battery charge level that is above the first battery charge level threshold or the second battery charge level dropping to the second battery charge level threshold, the body-worn hub may stop routing power to the body-worn device via the wired connection.

Abstract

A data aggregation implementation includes self-configuring drivers. From the viewpoint of a Network Operation Center (NOC), a plurality of heterogenous content sources provide content that may be of a variety of different types and formats. All of this content must be ingested and stored for retrieval and reporting, analysis, and/or presentation despite many differences in their collection, format, transmission, and quality. In some embodiments, the NOC includes or cooperates with one or more servers to, among other functions, receive content from content sources, request object reflection by the driver of each content source, receive driver attributes in response, and map the metadata of the content for each content source to a universal schema, thereby self-configuring the driver.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for a consumer application that integrates a model-controller-view (MCV) design pattern with an event streaming platform such as an Apache Kafka™ in a network operation center (NOC) server to support NOC workspace interoperability. The MCV design pattern may include a pattern that divides an application into three main logical components (e.g., model component, controller component, and view component) to handle specific aspects of the application. In one example, the model component decouples the telemetry data streams from an event stream platform, and the controller component filters a queried set of decoupled telemetry data streams to dynamically control views to be rendered in the view component.

Abstract

A Network Operation Center may receive video data, sensor data and third-party data for a situation that a police officer or security service personnel has been called to. Using the video data, a sentiment analysis engine may generate a sentiment data file that contains the sentiment of at least one individual involved in the situation. Using the video data, sensor data, third party data and the sentiment data file, the sentiment analysis engine may generate a safety quality value for the situation. Subsequently, the safety quality value is compared to a predetermined sentiment value to establish a safety rating and confidence interval for the situation. Furthermore, the sentiment analysis engine may generate a situational awareness file, that contains the safety rating and confidence interval, and route it to the field computing device of the officer for evaluation and implementation.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for creating a universal schema with default fields that support sensor formats of different devices. In one example, the universal schema supports substantial equivalents between data fields in different sensor formats. Further, a sensor format may be configured to support inheritance and aggregation of sensor formats in prior devices. Accordingly, the mapping of sensor formats that supports inheritance and aggregation in the universal schema may provide several advantages such as capturing a mapping of substantive equivalents between the fields in different sensor formats.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for continuous improvement of machine learning models (also called data models) in a Content Management System (CMS). In one example, a CMS may store a set of data models for each application such as plate number recognition, facial recognition, a determination of likelihood of assault to a law enforcement officer in a traffic violation or robbery scenario, and car identification. In an example embodiment, a predictive model may be used to select a data model from the plurality of data models. The selected data model may be further improved or trained to a new sample of data features to generate an output pattern (e.g., likelihood of assault to a law enforcement officer).

Abstract

A video processing engine may receive a request for a video communication session, via a network to produce a video file key that is routed to the video camera. If the video camera is communicatively connected to a Wi-Fi 6 compatible wireless access point, it routes a high-quality video file to the Network Operation Center (NOC). Alternatively, using the video key file, the video camera generates message digests and watermarks that are embedded in a video camera generated high-quality video file and a degraded quality video file. The video camera routes, via the network, the degraded quality video file to the NOC, while the high-quality video file is uploaded to the NOC later. Subsequently, a video processing engine extracts the watermarks from the message digests of the video files and compares them to ensure that the high-quality video file correlates to the degraded quality video file.
