  • Patent number: 11593945
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a semantically augmented image are disclosed. An embedding is generated for each object label associated with a segmented input image. For each embedding associated with a respective object label, a similarity score is computed between the embedding associated with the object label and an embedding representing an object class in an object bank storing a plurality of object images. At least one object is selected, the selected object being associated with a respective object image in the object bank, the selected at least one object being from an identified object class that is identified as contextually relevant to at least one object label associated with the segmented input image, based at least on the similarity score. The selected object is added into the segmented input image to generate the augmented image.

  • Patent number: 11503454
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for communicating at a cellular router between a first wireless communication module and a first subscriber identity module (SIM). The cellular router receives a first request from a first wireless communication module and encapsulates the first request in a first modified request. The cellular router then sends the first modified request to a first SIM card in a first communication apparatus and waits for a first modified reply. While waiting for the first modified reply the cellular router sends at least one halt message to the first wireless communication module after a first time threshold. After receiving the first modified reply, the cellular router decapsulates the first modified reply to retrieve a first reply and sends the first reply to the first wireless communication module where the first modified reply is a reply to the first modified request.
