— 2 min read

Patent application by inventor Raj, Benevan Susanna Antony, filed on April 1, 2024, and made available online on October 2, 2025, describes systems and methods for negative spacing labeling and shadow labeling for computer vision. The invention enables computers to derive meaningful information from digital images and videos by identifying negative space and analyzing light variations data. This technology has applications in various fields, including autonomous driving, virtual or augmented reality, medicine, energy, and utilities.

The patent application outlines several innovative aspects, including the ability to receive image data, process it to determine one or more images associated with the environment, and identify negative space in the one or more images. The system can label the negative space and recognize subjects in the one or more images by determining the negative space around or in-between the subjects. Additionally, the system can analyze light variations data to identify one or more shadows in the environment and process the image data to identify one or more objects corresponding to the one or more shadows. This information can be used to predict movements of the one or more objects.
