US Docket Other Filings Status Description US Claims
EUC003US Australia, Canada, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, India, Japan, S. Korea

Patent Issued (US, China,
Australia)
US No. 7158680

Published

 First filing -  describes process that initially includes the high level steps of unsupervised object modeling though feature/object detection and tracking, foreground/background segmentation, and spatial normalization.

 

  10 allowed claims.
EUC003USCON   Patent Issued (US)
No. 7424157

Published		 Continuation of EUC003US, claims same priority date as first filing but claims expand coverage beyond the 10 original claims. 19 allowed claims.
EUC004US Australia, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, India, Japan,  S. Korea Patent Issued (US, Australia)
No. 7426285

Published		 Provides additional benefit by combining the decomposed data with conventional CODEC and fine grained pel/subpel analysis, 3D normalization, progressive geometric normalization, subspace classification, and hybrid spatial compression techniques. 16 allowed claims.
EUC005US Australia, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, India, Japan,  S. Korea

Patent Issued (US, China,
Australia)
No. 7436981

Published

 The innovation is expanded in terms of the re-sampling of pel data used to create the representation of an object in the video. Techniques primarily included are the application of a regular spatial mesh to the localized appearance of the object, use of 2D affine models to locally interpolate pel values, and factoring global object motion from local object deformation. 17 allowed claims.
EUC007US Australia, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, India, Japan,  S. Korea Patent Issued (US, Australia)
No. 7457435

Published		 Refines background resolution and adds mesh-based registration and motion estimation. Models correspondences to generate contour models that are used to segment the object from non-object background in the video frame sequence. 14 allowed claims.
EUC009US Australia, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, India, Japan (2 filings),  S. Korea Patent Issued (US, China, Japan)
No. 7457472

Published		 The previously disclosed innovative material is expanded to cover at least the explicit implementation embodied in the Phase II prototype. Highlights include greatly expanding the PCA processing into a "mixture of experts" architecture along with high dimensional subspace partitioning for both the appearance and deformation manifolds. 10 allowed claims.
EUC011US Canada, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan Patent Issued (US)
No. 7508990

Published		 The progressive computational environment is disclosed; an environment that allows for the progressive analysis of the video stream to determine the amount of modeling that can be performed given the complexity of the video's data and the computational resource constraints provided. 21 allowed claims.
EUC012US Canada, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan Published The hybrid utilization of EuclidVision inside of a conventional encoder architecture is disclosed. This is the first of three patents families that were filed concurrently. These three patent families represent the technology offering in terms of its application in the consumer marketplace. 23 pending claims.
EUC013US Canada, China (Peoples Republic), European Patent Convention, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan Published Specific disclosure of an embodiment of single object EuclidVision for video conferencing where a predetermined 3D face/head appearance/structural model is calibrated to the face in the video and then used to model the appearance of the face at various points in the video. 8 pending claims.
EUC014US US, Canada, European Patent Office, China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong Published Applies EuclidVision techniques to an Object Archival System business application patent. Specifically provides for the ability for image based search and retrieval of video. Supervised and unsupervised object identification are disclosed along with a multitude of service network topologies. 25 pending claims.
EUC015 Patent Cooperation Treaty, Taiwan Published at PCT Describes modeling features within a conventional video encoding framework. Motion compensated prediction is augmented with feature tracking information that predicts past feature positions while also predicting the appearance of the feature in the current frame. 35 pending claims.
