News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Stable and reliable robotic systems are becoming increasin gly common, which has contributed to therecent advancement and proliferation of unmanned system technologies. These technologies can be groundbasedsystems, a erial-based systems, and/or maritime-based systems. In many instances these syst emsare equipped with one or more cameras, one or more microphones, and/or other recording equipment.The image/sound stream from the unmanned system(s) may be sent to an operator’s control device tomake the operator aware of what is happe ning on the ground. In many cases it may be useful for theimage stream to be an notated with different objects detected within the video/audio stream. Currently ,objects within images/sound frames are generally detected using machine learni ng models. These machinelearning models are generally hosted on dedicated hardw are with dedicated data sources. However, inoperational scenarios it may be cri tical to use third-party models (e.g., from entities that are able to trainthos e models because those entities have the required training data). Moreover, oper ators in the fieldmay want to choose which object types need to be detected for a particular operation because indicatingother object types may interfere with the operator being able to assess the operational situation. Thus,enabling thi s functionality on an unmanned vehicle or another device with limited computatio n resourcesis challenging at best.”
