  • Patent number: 11790508
    Abstract: Systems and methods for target inspection are provided. The system includes a camera, at least one sensor, and a controller. The camera acquires images of a target over time and the sensor(s) acquire motion data characterizing camera and target movement. The controller generates, using a first computer vision (CV) algorithm, an initial prediction and confidence level regarding an object of interest for a first image acquired at a first time. The controller also determines, using the motion data, a motion parameter characterizing relative motion between the camera and the target at the first time. The controller additionally receives a weighting based upon a second image acquired at a second time prior to the first time. The controller generates, using a second CV algorithm, a final prediction and confidence level for the first image based upon the first image, the initial prediction and confidence level, the motion parameter, and the weighting.

  • Patent number: 11790370
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for expediting blockchain transactions. More specifically, the technology describes techniques for assessing risk associated with expediting processing of blockchain transactions received by a transaction processing platform. When a determination is made that a transaction can be expedited, the transaction processing platform can expedite the transaction, e.g., locally process the blockchain transaction, prior to receiving a verification or confirmation from the consensus network. In this manner, the transaction processing platform can act like a local cache allowing quick access and operation on permanently stored data within the blockchain with minimal or calculated risk.
