Abstract: As a computing device travels on a trip from a starting location to a destination location, geographic coordinates are captured and stored. The geographic coordinates are tested against an obscuring condition to determine a portion of the geographic coordinates that satisfy the obscuring condition. Based on the determined portion of geographic coordinates satisfying the obscuring condition, altering the geographic coordinates in the determined portion of the geographic coordinates to reduce their precision or accuracy. The computing device transmits the altered geographic coordinates and the geographic coordinates that did not satisfy the obscuring condition.

Abstract: A plurality of virtual three-dimensional (3D) points distributed on a 3D reference plane for a camera array including a plurality of cameras are randomly selected. The plurality of cameras includes a host camera and one or more additional cameras. Respective two-dimensional (2D) projections of the plurality of virtual 3D points for the plurality of cameras are determined based on respective poses of the cameras. For the respective one or more additional cameras, respective homography matrices are determined based on the 2D projections for the respective camera and the 2D projections for the host camera. The respective homography matrices map the 2D projections for the respective camera to the 2D projections for the host camera. A stitched image is generated based on respective images captured by the plurality of cameras and the respective homography matrices.

Abstract: A system and method for mitigating anomalies in a network device. One or a combination of mitigation actions may be pre-programmed into a plurality of customer premises equipment (CPE) devices. The mitigation actions may be available as temporary or permanent work arounds as problems are detected that match known or discovered patterns of log events. Unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used to identify and correlate new patterns of log events with device anomalies or malfunctions. When a new pattern of log events is discovered and correlated to an anomaly or malfunction in a group of CPE devices, the discovered pattern may be written to the group of CPE devices with instructions to use particular ones of the mitigation actions. The CPE devices can then, in examples, monitor their own logs to detect the patterns and implement one or more of the mitigation actions.

Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for machine learning-based data extraction using multiple string searching models. String extraction logic may differ depending on the type of document received. For documents identified to contain line item structures, broader searching models are applied to the document to account for the increased variability of data in the document inherent in data organized in line item structures. For documents identifier to contain non-line item structures, stricter searching models are applied to the document to account for predictable data in the document associated with data organized in non-line item structures.

A notional diametrical line z-z? passes through the center of each of the at most two gaps (26, 26A, 26B) and extends substantially perpendicular to the grain direction GR of paper material from which the article carrier (90; 290) is formed.

Abstract: An apparatus determines a value of a coordinate for a sample is outside a range of values of the coordinate for samples in a reference region. The sample is displaced relative to a current block by an amount indicated by a block vector predictor (BVP). The apparatus adjusts a component, corresponding to a direction of the coordinate, of the BVP to have an adjusted value closer to the range of values of the coordinate for the samples in the reference region based on the determining. The apparatus uses the BVP, with the component adjusted to have the adjusted value, to determine or predict a block vector (BV) for the current block.
