Abstract: A camera misalignment detection system detecting a misalignment condition of one or more cameras for a vehicle includes one or more controllers that determine a set of matched pixel pairs, determine a feature matching ratio based on the set of matched pixel pairs, and calculate an alignment angle difference of the one or more cameras. In response to determining the feature matching ratio, the essential matrix inlier ratio, and the alignment angle difference each exceed respective threshold values, the controllers add the alignment angle difference to a queue including a sequence of historical alignment angle difference values. The controllers perform statistical filtering to determine a total number of historical alignment angle difference values within the queue that are inliers and determine a misalignment condition of the one or more cameras based on the total number of historical alignment angle difference values within the queue that are inliers.

Abstract: A system and method for providing warmth to a person, particularly a skier, in cold or inclement outdoor elements. Skiing is an outdoor winter sport where participants need to have proper clothing and equipment to stay warm in order to participate at optimal strength. Traveling on open-air lifts may cause skiers to become cold. The present disclosure provides a warming wrap that may be placed on a ski pole or other handheld device. A heating device integrated in the warming wrap transmits warmth through an outer layer whereas an insulating layer limits heat from escaping into the pole. The warming wrap contains a heating device that transmits heat from the heating layer to a person who touches the outer layer of the warming wrap. A grip layer alone or together with a fastener arrangement prevents the wrap from sliding down the pole. The preferred placement of the wrap on the pole rather than on a grip or in a glove or mitten provides the skier with better control and balance of the ski pole.

The machine learning model determines a measure of an emotional state of the rider based on data received from a sensor associated with the rider, where the data is indicative of a physiological condition of the rider. The vehicle control system: determines a target value of an operating parameter of the vehicle based on a correlation between the emotional state of the rider and the target value of the operating parameter; and adjusts the operating parameter of the vehicle based on the target value of the operating parameter.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for narrow display borders using a display-to-frame interposer (“interposer”). In aspects, the interposer is bonded, on a first side, to a mechanical frame. On a second side, the interposer is bonded to a backside of a display panel module, including a folded portion, and supports a cover layer through the display panel module. In such a configuration, a display border, which extends from an edge of the cover layer to an active area of the display panel module and resides above the folded portion, can be reduced.

Abstract: A processor identifies keypoints on a hand in a two-dimensional image that is captured by a camera. A three-dimensional pose of the hand is determined using locations of the keypoints to access lookup tables (LUTs) that represent potential poses of the hand as a function of the locations of the keypoints. In some embodiments, the keypoints include locations of tips of fingers and a thumb, joints that connect phalanxes of the fingers and the thumb, palm knuckles that represent a point of attachment of the fingers and the thumb to a palm, and a wrist location that indicates a point of attachment of the hand to a forearm. Some embodiments of the LUTs represent 2D coordinates of the fingers and the thumb in corresponding finger pose planes as a function of the locations of the tips of the fingers or thumb relative to the corresponding palm knuckles.

Abstract: A tracking system and associated algorithms are disclosed that can provide a user with a continuous, reset-free augmented reality (AR) experience. When the user wears an AR headset equipped with a camera and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), motion sensor data from the IMU can be combined with image data from the camera to create a device pose, representing a position and an orientation of the headset relative to its environment. In some implementations, when a reset occurs, a six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) algorithm can be configured to support the pose until a re-initialization is completed. In some implementations, a neural network can be used to correct for IMU integration drifts in the 6DoF algorithm. In some implementations, the IMU-based 6DoF uses a neural network that exploits the device's past motion to infer its future motion.
