  • Patent number: 11977167
    Abstract: An improved, efficient method for mapping world points from an environment (e.g., points generated by a LIDAR sensor of an autonomous vehicle) to locations (e.g., pixels) within rolling-shutter images taken of the environment is provided. This improved method allows for accurate localization of the world point in a rolling-shutter image via an iterative process that converges in very few iterations. The method poses the localization process as an iterative process for determining the time, within the rolling-shutter exposure period of the image, at which the world point was imaged by the camera. The method reduces the number of times the world point is projected into the normalized space of the camera image, often converging in three or fewer iterations.

  • Patent number: 11887395
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatic template selection for extracting data from an input electronic document is provided. The method includes receiving a first set of candidate templates and an input electronic document. For each candidate template, a template similarity ratio value is calculated that represents a similarity of the candidate template to the input electronic document. The first set of candidate templates are ranked according to the template similarity ratios and then matched to the input electronic document resulting in generating a normalized similarity score for each particular candidate from among the candidate templates. Differences in normalized similarity scores of successive pairs of the candidate templates is determined and a breaking point is established. A second set of candidate templates is formed by selecting candidate templates that are ranked above the breaking point. Data from the input electronic document is extracted using the second set of candidate templates.
