Abstract
An entity interaction recognition system algorithmically recognizes a variety of different types of entity interactions that may be captured in two-dimensional images. In some embodiments, the system estimates the three-dimensional spatial configuration or arrangement of entities depicted in the image. In some embodiments, the system applies a proxemics-based analysis to determine an interaction type. In some embodiments, the system infers, from a characteristic of an entity detected in an image, an area or entity of interest in the image.

16. A method for inferring an area of interest in a two-dimensional image depicting at least one entity, the method comprising, with a computing system, algorithmically:
- locating the at least one entity in the image;
determining, from the image, a spatial configuration of at least a portion of the at least one entity located in the image; and
inferring an area of interest in the image based on the location of the at least one entity and the determined spatial configuration, the area of interest at least partially spaced from the at least one entity, the area of interest having a size that is greater than zero and less than the size of the entire image. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method for detecting a characteristic of a gaze of a person depicted in a recorded two-dimensional image, the method comprising, with a computing system, algorithmically:
-
detecting the person in the recorded two-dimensional image; estimating a three-dimensional spatial configuration of at least a portion of the person in the image; and inferring a characteristic of the person'"'"'s gaze in the image based on the estimated spatial configuration. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
