Abstract: An image processing method to reduce access pressure of each image in an image set, where the image processing method includes obtaining a quantity of times each image layer in an image set is accessed, determining one or more first image layers, where a quantity of times the first image layer in the image set is accessed is greater than a first threshold, and the first image layer has at least two child image layers, generating a copy of the first image layer, and modifying some child image layers of the first image layer to child image layers of the copy of the first image layer.

Abstract: In various examples, high beam control for vehicles may be automated using a deep neural network (DNN) that processes sensor data received from vehicle sensors. The DNN may process the sensor data to output pixel-level semantic segmentation masks in order to differentiate actionable objects (e.g., vehicles with front or back lights lit, bicyclists, or pedestrians) from other objects (e.g., parked vehicles). Resulting segmentation masks output by the DNN(s), when combined with one or more post processing steps, may be used to generate masks for automated high beam on/off activation and/or dimming or shading—thereby providing additional illumination of an environment for the driver while controlling downstream effects of high beam glare for active vehicles.

Abstract: A two-loop cross-belt sorter includes at least one loop-shaped track (1); two cross-belt trolley groups (2), and forms two side-by-side conveyance loops able to circulate on the loop-shaped track (1), and a power apparatus (3) that drives the two cross-belt trolley groups (2) to move along the loop-shaped track (1). The two-loop cross-belt sorter uses two sets of trolleys on a loop-shaped track, allows the space inside the loop to be utilized and the quantity of cross-belt trolleys to be increased without increasing the area occupied by the sorter, thus doubling sorting capacity, while allowing parcels to be transferred between cross-belt trolleys on the two conveyance loops, thereby reducing the idle rate of the trolleys.

Abstract: An image deployment method includes obtaining a configuration policy for a container, where the configuration policy for the container includes an autoscaling policy or a replication control policy. The autoscaling policy includes a first image identifier, a maximum quantity of containers corresponding to the first image identifier that can be deployed, and a quantity of currently deployed containers corresponding to the first image identifier. The replication control policy includes a second image identifier and a quantity of containers corresponding to the second image identifier that are expected to be deployed. The method determines an identifier of a to-be-deployed image according to the configuration policy for the container.

Abstract: This application discloses an image deployment method, where the image deployment method is applied to a container system. Information about an image that has been deployed on each host is collected. After an image tag of a to-be-deployed image is obtained, a degree of overlapping between the image that has been deployed on each host and the to-be-deployed image is determined. A host with a higher overlapping degree needs to download a smaller amount of data when deploying the to-be-deployed image and deploys the to-be-deployed image at a higher speed. Finally, a management node selects, according to overlapping degrees of the hosts, a deployment host for deploying the to-be-deployed image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a route decision method, a content delivery apparatus, and a content delivery network interconnection system. A route decision method includes: receiving a notification message sent by a downstream CDN; determining a current service aggregate according to the notification message; and according to the current service aggregate and a total service quantity thresholdtotal quantity of services, performing route decision on a to-be-forwarded user request, where the total service quantity thresholdtotal quantity of services is an upper limit, set by the downstream CDN, of services capable of being provided by the downstream CDN for an upstream CDN. The embodiments of the present invention improve the accuracy of an upstream CDN in selecting a downstream CDN for a to-be-forwarded user request, and thereby improve the route decision efficiency.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a module supporting hot plug, a backplane, a system comprising the module and the backplane, and a method for determining connection of the module with the backplane. The module may comprise a first connector comprising a first array of pins, and the backplane may comprise a second connector comprising a second array of pins corresponding to the first array of pins. A portion of the pins of the first array may be selected such that connection of the module with the backplane can be determined based on connection of the selected pins of the first array with corresponding pins of the second array. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the module will be enabled to work only after all the pins are effectively connected to the corresponding pins of the backplane. Thus, no invalid data will be transmitted to the field devices or controller.

Abstract: A control system may include a plurality of terminal boards. Each of the plurality of terminal boards may at least include a power pin. The definition of the power pin on at least one of the plurality of terminal boards may be different from the definition of the power pin on another one of the plurality of terminal boards. Thus, if the at least one of the plurality of terminal boards is connected to a wrong input/output module, the input/output module will not get a process power supplied via the power pin on the terminal board. Therefore, a wrong input/output signal will not be transferred, and the input/output module will not be damaged even if a higher process voltage is provided by a wrong terminal board.

Abstract: AVC decoding techniques include parsing a set of alternating slices of one or more picture frames and parsing another set of alternating slices of the one or more picture frames. The parsed set of alternating slices of the one or more picture frames are buffered separately from the parsed other set of alternating slices of the one or more picture frames. The buffered parsed set of alternating slices and the other buffered parsed set of alternating slices are alternating decoded.

The technique involves calculating a first average pixel intensity for each pixel grouping included in a first plurality of pixel groupings, calculating a second average pixel intensity for each pixel grouping included in a second plurality of pixel groupings, and calculating a third average pixel intensity for each pixel grouping included in a third plurality of pixel groupings. The technique further involves comparing a first average pixel intensity to a corresponding second average pixel intensity to identify a first trend, comparing a second average pixel intensity to a corresponding third average pixel intensity to identify a second trend, and comparing the first trend to the second trend to determine whether a match exits. Finally, the technique involves determining that a video transition is occurring based on a number of matches.

Abstract: A content delivery network (CDN) routing method, device and system. The file path identifier is bound to the server. When a file request is received, the file path identifier carried in the file request is extracted, and the server that provides a service is determined according to the binding relationship between the file path identifier and the server, and therefore, the requests that ask for the same file are routed to the same server that provides a service, which prevents the same file request from being routed to different servers and prevents repeated caching of the file content. In addition, because the requests that ask for the same file are routed to the same server, the user request hit ratio is improved, and the system response speed is increased, which improves the user experience.
