Patent number: 12147895Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for finding patterns in images that incorporates neural net classifiers. A pattern finding tool is coupled with a classifier that can be run before or after the tool to have labeled pattern results with sub-pixel accuracy. In the case of a pattern finding tool that can detect multiple templates, its performance is improved when a neural net classifier informs the pattern finding tool to work only on a subset of the originally trained templates. Similarly, in the case of a pattern finding tool that initially detects a pattern, a neural network classifier can then determine whether it has found the correct pattern. The neural network can also reconstruct/clean-up an imaged shape, and/or to eliminate pixels less relevant to the shape of interest, therefore reducing the search time, as well significantly increasing the chance of lock on the correct shapes.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Cognex CorporationInventors: Lei Wang, Vivek Anand, Lowell D.

Patent number: 12142030Abstract: When it is assumed that a large-scale Deep Neural Network for autonomous driving applied compression, there are problems of a decrease in recognition accuracy of a post-compression Neural Network (NN) model and an increase in a compression design period, due to a large number of harmful or unnecessary training images (invalid training images). A training image selection unit B100 calculates an influence value on an inference, and generates an indexed training image set 1004-1 necessary for an NN compression design, by using the influence value. A neural network compression unit P200 notified of the result via a memory P300 compresses the NN.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.Inventor: Daichi Murata

Patent number: 12088856Abstract: A method of compressing image data comprising a set of image values each representing a position in image-value space so as to define an occupied region thereof. The method comprises selectively applying a series of compression transforms to subsets of the image data items to generate a transformed set of image data items occupying a compacted region of value space. The method further comprises identifying a set of one or more reference data items that quantizes the compacted region in value space.
