Scalable Detection of Spatiotemporal Encounters in Historical Movement Data

Peter Bak; Mattias Marder; Sivan Harary; Avi Yaeli; Harold J. Ship

The widespread adoption of location‐aware devices is resulting in the generation of large amounts of spatiotemporal movement data, collected and stored in digital repositories. This forms a fertile ground for domain experts and scientists to analyze such historical data and discover interesting movement behavioral patterns. Experts in many domains, such as transportation, logistics and retail, are interested in detecting and understanding movement patterns and behavior of objects in relation to each other. Their insights can point to optimization potential and reveal deviations from planned behavior. In this paper, we focus on the detection of the encounter patterns as one possible type in movement behavior. These patterns refer to objects being close to one another in terms of space and time. We define scalability as a core requirement when dealing with historical movement data, in order to allow the domain expert to set parameters of the encounter detection algorithm. Our approach leverages a designated data structure and requires only a single pass over chronological data, thus resulting in highly scalable and fast technique to detect encounters. Consequently, users are able to explore their data by interactively specifying the spatial and temporal windows that define encounters. We evaluate our proposed method as a function of its input parameters and data size. We instantiate the proposed method on urban public transportation data, where we found a large number of encounters. We show that single encounters emerge into higher level patterns that are of particular interest and value to the domain.

Using image analytics to monitor retail store shelves

Using image analytics to monitor the contents and status of retail store shelves is an emerging trend with increasing business importance. Detecting and identifying multiple objects on store shelves involves a number of technical challenges. The particular nature of product package design, the arrangement of products on shelves, and the requirement to operate in unconstrained environments are just a few of the issues that must be addressed. We explain how we addressed these challenges in a system for monitoring planogram compliance, developed as part of a project with Tesco, a large multinational retailer. The new system offers store personnel an instant view of shelf status and a list of action items for restocking shelves. The core of the system is based on its ability to achieve high rates of product recognition, despite the very small visual differences between some products. This paper covers how state-of-the-art methods for object detection behave when applied to this problem. We also describe the innovative aspects of our implementation for size-scale-invariant product recognition and fine-grained classification.

Detection and Segmentation of Antialiased Text in Screen Images

Various software applications deal with analyzing the textual content of screen captures. Interpreting these images as text poses several challenges, relative to images traditionally handled by optical character recognition (OCR) engines. One such challenge is caused by text antialiasing, a technique which blurs the edges of characters, to reduce jagged appearance. This blurring changes the character images according to context, and can sometimes fuse them together. In this paper, we offer a low-cost method that can be used as a preprocessing stage, prior to OCR. Our method locates antialiased text in a screen image and segments it into separate character images. Our proposed algorithm significantly improves OCR results, particularly in images with colored text of small font size, such as in graphic user interface (GUI) screens.

Lightweight searchable screen video recording

Command logging of maintenance and operation activities of modern computer systems has become an integral component of customer and audit requirements. In recent years, this logging has usually been achieved via desktop video recording. However, the conventional approach of video recording requires high computation overhead, high network bandwidth, and a large storage size. Searching through video files is also a challenge. In this paper, we present a lossy, but text text-preserving, compression scheme that meets these challenges by creating a sparse bitonal image suitable for optical character recognition (OCR). Using our system for auditing, the bitonal image gets stored on a server. Due to the mechanisms text-preserving compression, we can apply OCR off-line to create annotations of each video frame, making the output searchable. Compared to state-of-the-art compression of raw video, our approach can reduce file size by 50-80%, while using CPU and memory resources similar to other methods.

Regulations such as FFIEC [5] and HIPAA [6] require activities of system administration to be captured and reviewed regularly. In IT service delivery environment, system maintenance activities are usually performed by the service provider whose system administrators access customer environment based on problem and change ticket being assigned.
