  • Publication number: 20230117719
    Abstract: A process for identifying a road feature in an image includes receiving an image at a controller, identifying a region of interest within the image and converting the region of interest from red-green-blue (RGB) to a single color using the controller. A set edges is detected within the region of interest, and at least one line within the set of edges is identified using the controller. The at least one line is compared with a set of known and expected road marking features, and the set of at least one first line in the at least one line is identified as corresponding to a road feature in response to the at least the first line matching the set of known and expected road marking features.

  • Publication number: 20230125045
    Abstract: A method for tracking a trailer end in an image using a controller includes receiving an image from at least one camera, identifying a trailer end in the image and tracking a motion of the trailer end through the image for a period of time using a controller. A motion model is generated based on the motion of the trailer end through the image using the controller. The controller responds to the trailer end exiting the image by maintaining motion of the trailer end per the motion model for a delay time period and establishing an estimated trailer end position dictated by the motion model at the end of the delay time period in response to the time period elapsing and the trailer end not being visible using the controller.

  • Patent number: 11630693
    Abstract: Technologies for power-aware scheduling include a computing device that receives network packets. The computing device classifies the network packets by priority level and then assigns each network packet to a performance group bin. The packets are assigned based on priority level and other performance criteria. The computing device schedules the network packets assigned to each performance group for processing by a processing engine such as a processor core. Network packets assigned to performance groups having a high priority level are scheduled for processing by processing engines with a high performance level. The computing device may select performance levels for processing engines based on processing workload of the network packets. The computing device may control the performance level of the processing engines, for example by controlling the frequency of processor cores. The processing workload may include packet encryption. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11520433
    Abstract: A touch control structure, and a display panel and a display device using the same are provided. The advantage is that an area of a first region which is blocked by metal wirings extending through the first region is less than an area of a second region which is blocked by metal wirings extending through the second region. Therefore, light transmittance in the first region is larger than light transmittance in the second region. A module that needs sufficient visible light can be disposed on a location corresponding to the first region to improve performance of the module.
