Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for improving speed and quality of real-time per-pixel depth estimation of scene layouts from a single image by using an end-to-end Convolutional Spatial Propagation Network (CSPN). An efficient linear propagation model performs propagation using a recurrent convolutional operation. The affinity among neighboring pixels may be learned through a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). The CSPN may be applied to two depth estimation tasks, given a single image: (1) to refine the depth output of existing methods, and (2) to convert sparse depth samples to a dense depth map, e.g., by embedding the depth samples within the propagation procedure. The conversion ensures that the sparse input depth values are preserved in the final depth map and runs in real-time and is, thus, well suited for robotics and autonomous driving applications, where sparse but accurate depth measurements, e.g., from LiDAR, can be fused with image data.

Abstract: An intelligent dehumidification system that is energy efficient and automatically maintains environment parameters within a horticulture environment. The intelligent dehumidifier utilizes a dual coil energy exchanger to efficiently transfer energy before and after a dehumidification mechanism within the dehumidifier system. The dehumidified air is then released out to the environment. The dehumidification of the air is energy efficient by recycling water to drop the temperature of incoming air before being dehumidified, thereby reducing the energy required dehumidify the air by the dehumidifier. The dehumidification system is further energy efficient because warmed water is used to re-heat the dehumidified air before it is provided back to the environment, thereby reducing the energy required to get the air back to room temperature.

Abstract: Dynamically monitoring of an electrically-isolated power bus for a DC power system is described, and includes dynamically monitoring voltage and current on the power bus to determine a variation in the voltage on the power bus. When the variation in the voltage on the power bus is less than a threshold, an active positive isolation resistance term and an active negative isolation resistance term are determined. A first voltage balance term is determined based upon a ratio of the active positive isolation resistance term and the active negative isolation resistance term. A dynamic positive isolation resistance term and a dynamic negative isolation resistance term are determined based upon the active negative isolation resistance term. A fault associated with the power bus is determined based upon the dynamic positive isolation resistance term and the dynamic negative isolation resistance term.
