- the system may then determine whether the person (e.g., who may have been identified using one or more suitable facial recognition techniques is the same person responsible for the writing on the paper. In response to determining they are the same, the system may determine that the two objects (e.g., the person and the paper) are associated.

There are six students in the class (Students 1-6) and they are divided into Groups A (Student 1 and Student 2), B (Student 3 and Student 4), and C (Student 5 and Student 6). Group A is assigned to Station 1, Group B is assigned to Station 2, and Group C is assigned to Station 3.

- the Native Camera API 406 and the Native Audio API 408 may, for example, include one or more processors and memory and be configured to use the Native Camera API 406 and the Native Audio API 408 to record a Native Video Recording 410 and an Audio Stream 412 from the Camera 402 and Microphone 404, respectively.
- the Smart Camera 110c in this example is further configured to run the Native Video
- Video Processor 414 which is configured to record the Native Video Recording 410 and perform positional object recognition as well as image extraction (e.g., screen capturing) and transcoding on the Native Video Recording 410.
- the Smart Camera 110c is configured to run the Audio Stream 412 through an Audio Processor 416 configured to record audio, perform voice detection, and perform speech recognition on any detected voices. Voice detection and speech recognition may enable the system to determine which of the students completing the activity are more vocal (e.g., may be taking a more active role in completing the assignment) and provide that information to the teacher.
- the Smart Camera 110c is further configured to send a Native Preview Stream 409 to a

- the Frame Processor 418 may be further configured to perform content detection where the system may detect the worksheets that the students are filling out, the stations at which they are working or any other suitable content.
- the Smart Camera 110c may then perform content recognition, where it may recognize the particular worksheet by reading a barcode on the top of the worksheet and recognize the particular work stations by using suitable OCR techniques to read a number off of the work station.
- the Smart Camera 110c may then perform auto region scoring on the worksheet to determine a substantially current score for the worksheet for each of the three groups.
- the system may, over a series of analyzed video frames determine that half way through the lesson, Student 3 wandered away from Station 2 and spent five minutes at Station 1 (e.g., Student 3 was associated with Station 1 for five minutes) and then three minutes at Station 3 (e.g., Student 3 was associated with Station 3 for three minutes). During this time, the majority of the questions on Group B's worksheet was completed and scored correctly, while Group A and Group C made little progress on their worksheets. These particular events are then fed by the Smart Camera 110c to a Stream Processor 440 that is configured to create a Stream Model 450 that includes a timeline of the various object association information compiled by the system.
- a Stream Processor 440 that is configured to create a Stream Model 450 that includes a timeline of the various object association information compiled by the system.
- the system may also store contextual metadata that the system infers based on patters detected in the timeline. For example, the system may detect that Student 3 generally walks around the classroom every day after a substantially fixed amount of time has passed during the class (e.g. after 10 minutes of work). The teacher can then access the Stream Model 450 via the Tablet Computer 430 using User Interface (UI) Controls 420 and view the timeline and associated stored data. When accessing the Stream Model 450 in this example, the teacher may determine that Student 3 is disruptive based on being a distraction to other groups and the ability of his assigned group to complete the assignment quickly.
- UI User Interface
- the teacher may then take any suitable action to improve the learning experience of Student 3 and the rest of the class by adjusting her teaching techniques for Student 3, splitting up the group of Student 3 and 4 and placing them with members of another group that need more help, by requiring Student 3 to repeat the assignment, or taking any other suitable action.
- the system may be utilized in a security setting such as in an airport, train station, or other location where it may be valuable to be able to track people, objects, and the association between/among them.
- Security in an airport is of the utmost importance, and an abandoned suitcase or bag has the potential to become a major security issue.
- a series of cameras positioned throughout an airport enable the system to determine an association between travelers and luggage, for example, by using facial recognition techniques to identify people and object identification techniques to identify their bags as they move through the airport.
- the system determines that an object such as a suitcase that the system has previously determined is associated with a particular traveler is no longer associated with that traveler (e.g., has been abandoned, is now associated with another traveler, etc.), the system is configured to generate an alert for a security officer to investigate.
- Figures 4- 6 depict exemplary screen displays which a user may experience when using the system to access a timeline of association data for a particular object.
- Figure 4 depicts a timeline 500 that illustrates a period of 8 weeks of object association data.
- the timeline includes lines representing first objects 510 and second objects 520 that show times during the 8 weeks at which the one or more of the first objects are associated with one or more of the second objects.
- the periods in which the lines representing both the first objects 510 and the second objects 520 are both present represent times at which the system has determined that the first and second objects are associated.

- the system may be configured to show a list of objects that were identified during the selected time period on line 520.
- the system may be configured to provide a list of all of the people on line 510 that were determined to be associated with the particular object selected.
- the user may select an object and find all people associated with the object or conversely select a person and see all people or objects associated with the selected person.
- Figure 5 depicts an exemplary screen display 600 of object association data for a particular individual (e.g., James Green) over a three week period.
- the screen display 600 further depicts objects 630 (e.g., artifacts) associated with the selected individual and enables the user to select one or more particular objects 630 for which to view association data between the individual and the object via the timeline.
- objects 630 e.g., artifacts
- the user may also view one or more specific instances of an object associated with the selected individual over time to see the progression of the object over time (e.g., how a test or project develops over time, the development of a short story over time, etc.)
- a user may select other individuals for whom to view object association data by selecting their picture from the list of pictures 610.
- the user may then view a timeline 620 of object association data for the selected picture over the illustrated period of time.
- the system may be configured to present a group of objects (e.g. documents) 630 that are associated with the selected person over the illustrated time period.
- the user may select and review individual documents from the document list 630 that are associated with the selected person.

- a user may select a particular object icon from the list of object icons 730 to view association data for the selected objects.
- the screen may be configured to display a list of people (not shown) associated with the particular selected object.
- the system may be configured to show all people associated with the selected instance of the test.
- the user may determine if other people were associated with the selected instance of the test. This may be helpful in detecting when a person is cheating on an exam since the selected instance of the test should only be associated with a single person. If another person is associated with the selected instance of the test, the association with the other person may indicate that cheating occurred.
