Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for improving user experience when servicing on-demand requests by a consumer for a hyper-specific media content in a network environment. The hyper-specific media content may include specified audio, video, etc. that relates to hyper-specific criteria (e.g., specific subject, location, and time condition). In an embodiment, the hyper-specific criteria in a consumer request are compared with stored hyper-specific criteria in a database. A prediction model is then trained on feature parameters of matching stored hyper-specific criteria to generate a trending level classification that can be associated with the hyper-specific criteria in the consumer request. The trending level classification indicates level of interest of third parties and may be used as a basis for content management.

Abstract: A polyhedral sensor target includes multiple surfaces. A housing, such as a vehicle, may include a camera and a distance measurement sensor, such as a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The housing may move between different positions during calibration, for instance by being rotated atop a turntable. The camera and distance measurement sensor may both capture data during calibration, from which visual and distance measurement representations of the polyhedral sensor target are identified. The camera and distance measurement sensor are calibrated based on their respective representations, for example by mapping vertices within the representations to the same location.
