Abstract: The present disclosure is related in general to field of machine learning and image processing and a method and system for handling occluded regions in an image frame to generate surround view. A surround view generating device detects presence or absence of occluded blocks in each image frame received from image capturing devices associated with the vehicle, based on speed and direction of the vehicle. Further, occluded blocks are predicted by mapping the image frames and sensor data of the vehicle with pre-stored image data using a machine learning model. Finally, corrected image frames are generated by stitching the predicted occluded blocks to the image frames, and then a surround view of the vehicle is generated using corrected image frames and the plurality of image frames. The present disclosure enables prediction of occlusions caused due to dust or water depositions on the image capturing devices of non-overlapping field of view.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and collision avoidance systems and devices for avoiding collision between inspection devices during inspection of an area. In an embodiment, spatial information of the area, dynamically received from each inspection device, is used for creating current local map for each inspection device. Subsequently, a global map of area is generated using local maps and each inspection device is localized within the global map for identifying current location of the inspection devices. Thereafter, sub-paths for navigating each inspection device are estimated based on global map and current location of the inspection devices, validated for collision avoidance and provided to corresponding inspection devices. The inspection devices navigate across the area using the sub-paths and complete inspection of the area. In some embodiments, the present disclosure helps in faster and accurate inspection of the area by inspecting the area using concurrently operated inspection devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a monitoring device and a method of monitoring drug adherence in a clinical trial. In one embodiment, the monitoring device determines that an authenticated user has consumed the medication comprising the drug and further determines that the authenticated user who has consumed the drug is associated with the corresponding monitoring device. Furthermore, the monitoring device determines that the drug has successfully passed through gastrointestinal (GI) tract of the authenticated user based on analysis of biometric signatures of the GI tract. Based on the determination of valid proximity and successful passing of the medication within the GI tract of the authenticated user, the monitoring device reports that the drug adherence by the user is successful. Thus, the disclosed method and the monitoring device determine that only authenticated user has consumed the medication and not just if the medication has been taken by any person.
