Abstract: Apparati, methods, and computer readable media for inserting identity information from a source image (static image or video) (301) into a destination video (302), while mimicking motion of the destination video (302). In an apparatus embodiment, an identity encoder (304) is configured to encode identity information of the source image (301). When source image (301) is a multi-frame static image or a video, an identity code aggregator (307) is positioned at an output of the identity encoder (304), and produces an identity vector (314). A driver encoder (313) is coupled to the destination (driver) video (302), and has two components: a pose encoder (305) configured to encode pose information of the destination video (302), and a motion encoder (315) configured to separately encode motion information of the destination video (302). The driver encoder (313) produces two vectors: a pose vector (308) and a motion vector (316).

Abstract: Apparati, methods, and computer readable media for inserting identity information from a source image (1) into a destination image (2), while mimicking illumination of the destination image (2).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for machine vision-guided robotic loading are provided. Such systems and methods can allow for more accurate object detection so as to allow for robotic picking or loading of an object from a pile or group of objects. In some embodiments, a camera is controlled to capture a background image of the object or group of objects. One or more illumination sources (such as, e.g., laser illuminators) are controlled to project immunization toward the object or group of objects within the field-of-view of the camera. The camera may be controlled to capture a scan image comprising the projected illumination. Based on the scan image, a depth map can be determined, which is provided to a machine learning model along with the background image. The output of the machine learning model can then provide information associated with one or more objects, such as location information, orientation information, and the like.

Abstract: The invention discloses a system and method that enhances safety for vehicle before and during a U-Turn. Vehicles are equipped with retrofit U-Shape light indicator which is mounted near the left rear light of the vehicle. This light indicator is enabled wirelessly from a button mounted on the dash board by radio frequency or Bluetooth. When this U-shape indicator is turned on the driver indicates to all other drivers at the intersection that he is making a U-Turn. This in turn reduces irritation, confusion and frustration among drivers, and consequently reduces the possibility of accidents. Multiple U-Shape light indicators may be placed at different parts of the vehicle and it may be manufactured in various shapes and sizes as per the intended vehicle. Additionally, the auto-manufacturer may include the system into the car assembly and wire the button/switch to the left turn signal with a separate position for ‘U-turn’.
