  • Patent number: 11337089
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a first node (101) for enabling testing of at least a part (105, 108) of the first node (101) in a deployed network. The first node (101) determines that at least a part (105, 108) of the first node (101) should be tested, and determines a direction in which to transmit or receive a test signal (200) to or from a second node (103). The first node (101) transmits the test signal (200) OTA in the determined direction to the second node (103) if a transmitter of the first node (101) should be tested. The first node (101) receives the test signal (200) OTA in the determined direction from the second node (103) if a receiver of the first node (101) should be tested.

  • Patent number: 11250051
    Abstract: An approach is provided for predicting a pose error for a sensor system based on a trained machine learning model. The approach, for example, involves receiving images depicting a survey point with a known physical location. The approach also involves determining meta-data associated with the sensor system used to capture the images. The approach further involves generating a ray from the capture location through a pixel location of the survey point on an image plane of each image. The approach further involves calculating an error between the ray generated for the image and the known physical location. The approach further involves training a machine learning model to predict a pose error from image data captured using the sensor system based on the error in combination with features extracted from the image and the meta-data for the image. The approach further involves providing the trained machined learning as an output.

    Abstract: Computing systems may support image classification and image detection services, and these services may utilize object detection/image classification machine learning models. The described techniques provide for normalization of confidence scores corresponding to manipulated target images and for non-max suppression within the range of confidence scores for manipulated images. In one example, the techniques provide for generating different scales of a test image, and the system performs normalization of confidence scores corresponding to each scaled image and non-max suppression per scaled image These techniques may be used to provide more accurate image detection (e.g., object detection and/or image classification) and may be used with models that are not trained on modified image sets. The model may be trained on a standard (e.g. non-manipulated) image set but used with manipulated target images and the described techniques to provide accurate object detection.
