Publication number: 20210333360Abstract: This application relates to a multi-pulse anti-interference signal processing apparatus. The multi-pulse anti-interference signal processing apparatus includes a detection pulse sending unit and a pulse receiving unit. The detection pulse sending unit is configured to emit a plurality of laser pulses to a target object based on a preset emission interval within a cycle. The pulse receiving unit is configured to receive a plurality of external signals within the cycle, obtain a reception interval between any two external signals, and determine, in the plurality of external signals based on the emission interval and the reception interval, an echo signal corresponding to the emitted laser pulses. A false echo pulse resulting from optical-to-electrical conversion and an interfering echo pulse fed back by other radar are effectively eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Applicant: SUTENG INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Site LUO, Xia LIU, Dongshan LIU, Junpeng YANG

Patent number: 10162742Abstract: Software testing techniques based on image recognition are disclosed. In various embodiments, a programmatically implemented image classifier is trained to recognize a screen shot image as being associated with a transaction end condition of a transaction. A test script configured to initiate an iteration of the transaction is run. A start time of the iteration of the transaction is recorded. Screen shot images are generated during performance of the iteration of the transaction to capture a series of screen shot images of at least a portion of a user interface display associated with the iteration of the transaction. The image classifier is used to find an earliest-captured image that matches the transaction end condition. A time associated with the matched image is used as a transaction end time to compute an end-to-end time to perform the iteration of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Open Text CorporationInventors: Hong Yuan, Xiaochen Nie, Tingxian Cheng, Yujia Wang, Xia Liu, Chao Chen
