  • Patent number: 11968543
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing quasi-licensed spectrum access within an area or venue. In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed spectrum utilizes 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum allocated by a Federal or commercial SAS (Spectrum Access System) to a managed content delivery network that includes one or more wireless access nodes (e.g., CBSDs and APs) in data communication with a controller. In one variant, the controller dynamically allocates (i) spectrum within the area or venue within CBRS bands, and (ii) MSO users or subscribers to CBRS bands or WLAN (e.g., public ISM) bands in to manage interference between the coexisting networks, and maximize user experience. In another variant, the controller cooperates with a provisioning server to implement a client device application program or “app” on MSO user or subscriber client devices which enables inter-RAT access.

  • Patent number: 11961272
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using a surfel map to generate long range localization. One of the methods includes obtaining, for a particular location of a vehicle having a camera and a detection sensor, surfel data including a plurality of surfels. Each surfel in the surfel data has a respective location and corresponds to a different respective detected surface in an environment. Image data captured by the camera is obtained. It is determined that a region of interest for detecting objects for a vehicle planning process is outside a detectable region for the detection sensor. In response, it is determined that the image data for the region of interest matches surfel color data for the surfels corresponding to the region of interest. In response, the vehicle planning process is performed with the region of interest designated as having no unexpected objects.

  • Patent number: 11954596
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining classifications based on WSIs. A varied-size feature map is generated for each training WSI by generating a grid of patches for the training WSI, segmenting the training WSI into tissue and non-tissue areas, and converting patches comprising the tissue areas into tensors. Bounding boxes are generated based on the patches comprising tissue areas and segmented into feature map patches. A fixed-size feature map is generated based on a subset of the feature map patches. A classifier model is trained to process fixed-size feature maps corresponding to the training WSIs such that, for each fixed-size feature map, the classifier model is operable to assign a WSI-level tissue or cell morphology classification or regression based on the tensors. A classification engine is configured to use the trained classifier model to determine a WSI-level tissue or cell morphology classification or regression for a test WSI.

    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to image classification attack mitigation. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a system can obtain an original image and reduce a resolution of the original image to create a reduced resolution image. The system can classify the reduced resolution image and output a first classification. The system also can classify the original image via deep learning image classification and output a second classification. The system can compare the first classification and the second classification. In response to determining that the first classification and the second classification match, the system can output the second classification of the original image. In response to determining that the first classification and the second classification do not match, the system can output the first classification of the original image.

  • Patent number: 11934500
    Abstract: A system performs identification system enrollment and validation and/or authentication. In some examples, the system receives a digital representation of a biometric for a person from a device, biographic information for the person, and monitoring of capture of the biometric and determines whether the biometric is genuine. In others, the system obtains data from a network search using the biometric and the information, generates a comparison of the biometric and the information to the data from the network search, and uses the comparison to determine whether the person is who the person asserts. In still others, the system performs a number of identity checks using the information and the biometric, weights certainty and risk of each of the number of identity checks, and determines whether to approve the person for identification system enrollment using an aggregation of the identity checks.

  • Patent number: 11928849
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement an action-object interaction detection mechanism for recognizing actions in cluttered video scenes. An object bounding box is computed around an object of interest identified in a corresponding label in an initial frame where the object of interest appears in the frame. The object bounding box is propagated from the initial frame to a subsequent frame. For the initial frame and the subsequent frame: the object bounding boxes of the initial frame and the subsequent frame are refined and cropped based on the associated refined object bounding boxes. The set of cropped frames are processed to determine a probability that an action that is to be verified from the corresponding label is being performed. Responsive to determining the probability is equal to or exceeds a verification threshold, a confirmation is provided that the action-object interaction video performs the action that is to be verified.
