  • Publication number: 20230298359
    Abstract: A computer vision processor of a camera generates hyperzooms for persons or vehicles from image frames captured by the camera. The hyperzooms include a first hyperzoom associated with the persons or vehicles. The computer vision processor tracks traffic patterns of the persons or vehicles while obviating network usage by the camera by predicting positions of the persons or vehicles using a Kalman Filter from the first hyperzoom. The persons or vehicles are detected in the second hyperzoom. The positions of the persons or vehicles are updated based on detecting the persons or vehicles in the second hyperzoom. The first hyperzoom is removed from the camera. Tracks of the persons or vehicles are generated based on the updated positions. The second hyperzoom is removed from the camera. Track metadata is generated from the tracks for storing in a key-value database located on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the camera.

  • Patent number: 11734343
    Abstract: A computer vision processor of a camera extracts attributes of persons or vehicles from hyperzooms generated from image frames. The hyperzooms represent traffic patterns. The extracting is performed using a feature extractor of an on-camera convolutional neural network (CNN) including an inverted residual structure. The attributes include at least colors of clothing of the persons or colors of the vehicles. Mobile semantic segmentation models of the CNN are generated using the hyperzooms and the attributes. Attribute analytics are generated by executing the mobile semantic segmentation models while obviating network usage by the camera. The attribute analytics are stored in a key-value database located on a memory card of the camera. A query is received from the server instance specifying one or more of the attributes. The attribute analytics are filtered using the one or more of the attributes to obtain a portion of the traffic patterns.

  • Publication number: 20230206650
    Abstract: A vehicle can include various sensors to detect objects in an environment. In some cases, the object may be within a planned path of travel of the vehicle. In these cases, leaving the planned path may be dangerous to the passengers so the vehicle may, based on dimensions of the object, dimensions of the vehicle, and semantic information of the object, determine operational parameters associate with passing the object while maintaining a position within the planned path, if possible.

  • Patent number: 11390565
    Abstract: The Invention relates to a method for preparing a multichannel hollow fiber membrane. According to a certain ratio, ceramic powder, a macromolecular polymer, an organic solvent, and a dispersant are mixed evenly to prepare a membrane casting solution; and after bubble removing processing is performed on the membrane casting solution, a membrane green body is formed with the cooperation of a multichannel hollow fiber die and phase inversion. After the membrane green body is roasted at a high temperature, a multichannel ceramic hollow fiber membrane is formed. The multichannel ceramic hollow fiber membrane has an asymmetric structure and a skeleton structure in an inner cavity and can meet the strength and flux requirements of a ceramic hollow fiber membrane.

  • Publication number: 20220206162
    Abstract: Techniques for determining an object contour are discussed. Depth data associated with an object may be received. The depth data, such as lidar data, can be projected onto a two-dimensional plane. A first convex hull may be determined based on the projected lidar data. The first convex hull may include a plurality of boundary edges. A longest boundary edge, having a first endpoint and a second endpoint, can be determined. An angle can be determined based on the first endpoint, the second endpoint, and an interior point in the interior of the first convex hull. The longest boundary edge may be replaced with a first segment based on the first endpoint and the interior point, and a second segment based on the interior point and the second endpoint. An updated convex hull can be determined based on the first segment and the second segment.

  • Publication number: 20220204029
    Abstract: Techniques for collision avoidance using an object contour are discussed. A trajectory associated with a vehicle may be received. Sensor data can be received from a sensor associated with the vehicle. A bounding contour may be determined and associated with an object represented in the sensor data. Based on the trajectory, a simulated position of the vehicle can be determined. Additionally, a predicted position of the bounding contour can be determined. Based on the simulated position of the vehicle and the predicted position of the bounding contour, a distance between the vehicle and the object may be determined. An action can be performed based on the distance between the vehicle and the object.
