Abstract: A method for operating an advanced driver assistance (ADAS) system of a motor vehicle includes a vehicle controller receiving, from side and end cameras mounted to the vehicle, camera signals indicative of real-time images of outboard-facing side and end views of the vehicle. The controller determines a region of interest (ROI) inset within each end/side view within which is expected foreign objects and/or hazards. These ROIs are analyzed to detect if a foreign object/hazard is present in the vehicle's end and/or side views. Responsive to detecting the foreign object/hazard, movement of the foreign object/hazard is tracked to determine if the foreign object/hazard moves towards or away from the vehicle's underbody region. If the foreign object/hazard moves to the underbody region, control signals are transmitted to the vehicle's propulsion and/or steering system to automate preventative action that prevents collision of the vehicle with and/or removes the foreign object/hazard from the underbody.

Abstract: Systems and methods to manage incentive campaigns and automatically approve requests for incentives received from consumers or their proxy based on dynamic parameters defined by an incentive provider are described herein. Users at various levels between an original equipment manufacturer and the consumer may interact and offer input. In various implementations, campaign parameters may be received from an incentive provider and used to initiate and/or otherwise administrate a campaign. Incentive providers may then dynamically modify ongoing campaigns via the system. One or more user interfaces may be generated through which users may interact with the system and visualizations related to a campaign may be presented. Based on the initial or modified parameters for a campaign, the systems and methods described herein may further determine whether to approve, deny, or otherwise respond to requests for incentives received from consumers or their proxy.

Abstract: Transmitting from a wireless router a live stream of time stamped multimedia packets from a server which is capable of providing a system time clock value is disclosed. The wireless router includes a queue for storing the time stamped multimedia packets received from the live streaming server. The wireless router also includes a processor for analyzing the priority of the time stamped multimedia packets stored in the queue, for comparing the time stamps to the system time clock value, for calculating a transmission time to a video client, and for determining a transmission window to transmit the time stamped multimedia packets. The time stamped multimedia packets are discarded if the packets cannot be transmitted within the transmission window, or the time stamped packets are immediately transmitted if they can be transmitted within the transmission window. The priority of the packets in queue may be re-sorted prior to transmission.

Abstract: Tensor decomposition can be advantageous for compressing deep neural networks (DNNs). In many applications of DNNs, reducing the number of parameters and computation workload is helpful to accelerate inference speed in deployment. Modern DNNs comprise multiple layers with multi-array weights where tensor decomposition is a natural way to perform compression—in which the weight tensors in convolutional layers or fully-connected layers are decomposed with specified tensor ranks (e.g., canonical ranks, tensor train ranks). Conventional tensor decomposition with DNNs involves selecting ranks manually, which requires tedious human efforts to finetune the performance. Accordingly, presented herein are rank selection embodiments, which are inspired by reinforcement learning, to automatically select ranks in tensor decomposition.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide methods and systems for identifying and onboarding a vehicle into an inventory. According to one exemplary embodiment, an image is captured of a vehicle. Based on the captured image, attributes of the imaged vehicle are determined. A vehicle onboarding system storing a plurality of vehicle attributes is queried, the query being based on the imaged vehicle, and a matching vehicle from the vehicle onboarding system based on the query is received. The mobile device further transmits the image of the vehicle to a vehicle inventory system with instructions to associate the image with the vehicle attributes of the matching vehicle in the vehicle inventory system. Image analysis is employed to determine vehicle attributes.
