Patents

Patent Title Patent Number Publication Date Inventor/Company Summary URL
Parsimonious inference on convolutional neural networks US 12,591,777 B2 2026-03-31 00:00:00 I. Theodorakopoulos et al. / Irida Labs The patent describes a method for making convolutional neural networks more computationally and energy efficient. A Learning Kernel Activation Module dynamically activates only the kernels or neurons needed for each input during inference, reducing processing time, memory use, and power consumption while maintaining recognition accuracy. This is particularly useful for embedded, IoT, battery-powered, and resource-constrained devices. https://patents.google.com/patent/US12591777B2/en
System and a method to achieve time-aware approximated inference US 11,526,753 B2 2022-12-13 00:00:00 N. Fragoulis, I. Theodorakopoulos / Irida Labs The patent describes a neural-network architecture that dynamically adjusts inference complexity according to the available processing time, computational resources, power budget, or required accuracy. Learning Kernel-Activation Modules selectively activate or deactivate convolutional kernels, allowing the system to trade accuracy for faster, lower-power execution, particularly on embedded and resource-constrained devices. https://patents.google.com/patent/US11526753B2/en
System and a method for camera motion analysis and understanding from a video sequence US 9,508,026 B2 2019-01-22 00:00:00 I. Theodorakopoulos, N. Fragoulis / Irida Labs The patent describes a system that analyzes consecutive video frames to estimate camera motion and classify the activity or environment of the camera-carrying device. It can recognize motion patterns such as walking, running, shaking, or driving and may also identify the type or identity of the person or object carrying the camera. https://patents.google.com/patent/US9508026B2/en
