Abstract: A transaction record is created showing a purchase transaction of a customer. A CV profile showing a list of items in the transaction obtained from images is also obtained. The items in the transaction record are compared to items on the list. When there is a discrepancy, an action to take is determined.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improvement to prior art feature pyramids for general object detection that inserts a simple norm calibration (NC) operation between the feature pyramids and detection head to alleviate and balance the norm bias caused by feature pyramid network (FPN) and which leverages an enhanced multi-feature selective strategy (MS) during training to assign the ground-truth to one or more levels of the feature pyramid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for generating quadrilateral bonding boxes which tightly cover the most representative faces of retail products having arbitrary poses. The quadrilateral boxes do not include unnecessary background information or miss parts of the objects, as would the axis-aligned bounding boxes produced by prior art detectors. A simple projection transformation can correct the pose of products for downstream tasks.

Abstract: The invention relates to the technical field of air outflow, and aims to solve the problem whereby louvers in an air outflow device in a current vehicle needs to be manually turned to adjust an air outflow direction. The invention provides an air outflow device. An opening/closing member and an air distribution member are rotatably disposed in an air inflow section, an outlet of a first air outflow section and an outlet of a second air outflow section are respectively provided with a first louver structure and a second louver structure, and a first driving member and a second driving member are disposed outside an air channel. The first driving member is capable of driving the opening/closing member to open/close the air inflow section so as to connect/disconnect the air inflow section, and is capable of driving the air distribution member to rotate so as to adjust an air outflow amount and a longitudinal air outflow direction.

Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure provide video encoding and decoding methods and devices relates to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies applied to video encoding and decoding and are implemented to perform video filtering, so that coding blocks with a relatively greater filtering gain may be selected for filtering after reconduction, thereby improving filtering efficiency.

Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure provide a video encoding and decoding method and devices relate to artificial intelligence technologies applied to video encoding and decoding, and are implemented to reduce decoding complexity and improve filtering efficiency when the video quality is not significantly affected by performing video filtering using machine learning technologies.

Abstract: An activity recognition method and a computer-readable media are disclosed. The activity recognition method is applied to an activity recognition system configured to recognize several activities. The activity recognition method includes: obtaining an original activity image corresponding to a first time point, wherein the original activity image includes several pixels indicating whether several sensors are triggered; determining an image feature according to a second activity corresponding to a second time point, wherein the second time point is prior to the first time point; integrating the original activity image and the image feature to generate a characteristic activity image; and determining a first activity corresponding to the first time point according to the characteristic activity image.

Abstract: The disclosure herein discloses a general method for the synthesis of FeCoNiCu-based high-entropy alloy and their application for electrocatalytic water splitting, belonging to the technical field of preparation of composite materials. The catalytic material for electrolysis of water includes a reaction active material and a support. The reaction active material is FeCoNiCu-based high-entropy alloy nanoparticles such as FeCoNiCuSn, FeCoNiCuMn, FeCoNiCuV or the like. The support is a carbon nanofiber material prepared by electrospinning. The catalytic material for electrolysis of water prepared in the disclosure herein has a high specific surface area, which facilitates diffusion of the electrolyte and desorption of gas. By using the catalytic material for electrolysis of water, hydrogen and oxygen can be produced under alkaline conditions, and the hydrogen production rate under high voltage is much higher than that of a 20% Pt/C electrode.
