  • Patent number: 12223738
    Abstract: A method of detecting a way-side object includes receiving data frames from sensors mounted on a vehicle. Position data corresponding to the position of the vehicle is received. Object-of-interest data is retrieved from a database. The sensor data frames and the object-of-interest data are processed to determine a region-of-interest in the sensor data frame. A portion of the sensor data frames corresponding to the region of interest is processed using machine-learned object detection to identify a first object-of-interest. The portion of the sensor data frames corresponding to the region of interest is processed using computer vision methods to detect features of the expected object-of-interest and identifying the detected object-of-interest as explained when the features of the expected object-of-interest are detected. Explained object-of-interest data corresponding to the explained detected object-of-interest is output to a navigation system of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12213103
    Abstract: Dynamically adapting provision of notification output to reduce distractions and/or to mitigate usage of computational resources. In some implementations, an automated assistant application predicts a level of engagement for a user and determines, based on the predicted level of engagement (and optionally future predicted level(s) of engagement), provisioning (e.g., whether, when, and/or how) of output that is based on a received notification. For example, the automated assistant application can, based on predicted level(s) of engagement, determine whether to provide any output based on a received notification, determine whether to suppress provision of output that is based on the received notification (e.g.

  • Patent number: 12150713
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for controlling an articulating member including a tool. The system may include a dual camera system that captures near-infrared (NIR) images and point cloud images of a tissue or other substance that includes NIR markers. The system may generate a three-dimensional (3D) path based on identified positions of the NIR markers, may filter the generated path, and may generate a 3D trajectory for controlling the articulated arm of a robot having a tool to create an incision along the filtered path. In a shared control mode, an operator may generate manually control commands for the robot to guide the tool along such a path, while automated control commands are generated in parallel. One or more allocation functions may be calculated based on calculated manual and automated error models, and shared control signals may be generated based on the allocation functions.

  • Patent number: 12148136
    Abstract: An image processing system receives a digital image and analyzes the digital image to determine a resolution limit, referred to herein as “feature resolution,” for measuring a metric for features of the image within an acceptable margin of error. Specifically, the system segments a digital image and calculates the error associated with the segmented data when features within a certain range a measured metric (e.g., size range) are removed from the segmented data. This analysis can be repeatedly performed with different cutoff values for the metric until at least a threshold amount of error is reached, thereby indicating a resolution limit at the boundary of an acceptable amount of error.
