  • Publication number: 20230068375
    Abstract: A method for detecting a three-dimensional object in a two-dimensional image includes: inputting the two-dimensional image into an object detection model, and obtaining a resulting detection depth dataset; obtaining, based on the detection depth dataset, coordinate sets of a number of points-of-interest each associated with a to-be-detected object in a 3D camera centered coordinate system; and converting the coordinate sets of the number of points-of-interest in the 3D camera centered coordinate system into a number of coordinate sets in a 3D global coordinate system. Embodiments of this disclosure may be utilized in the field of self-driving cars with roadside traffic cameras.

  • Patent number: 9049842
    Abstract: An automatic replenishing mechanism for a pet drinking fountain is a container having a water injection element, a float, a linkage set, and a sealing plug. The water injection element, connected to the container, has a water inlet and a base. The float, connected by a link bar to the base, is located underneath the water inlet and limited by a guiding portion to float longitudinally. The sealing plug is mounted on the link bar near the water inlet. When water level rises to elevate the float, the link bar rotates to push the sealing plug. When the float floats to a predetermined level, the sealing plug blocks the water inlet to stop water supply. When a pet drinks water and the water level drops, the float sinks from the predetermined level. The link bar rotates to retreat the sealing plug from the water inlet, thereby automatically replenishing water.
