  • Patent number: 12253471
    Abstract: A system for taking high-resolution photographs from a vehicle-mounted camera, forming orthomosaics from video and/or multiple high-resolution photographs, and using artificial intelligence to detect and classify pavement flaws and defects in the imagery. Detection also includes the ability to capture quantifiable metrics for the defects and/or a region of interest. Three-dimensional imagery is produced from the same images as the orthomosaics. Surface and terrain map products made from the same source images capture additional details such as depth and volume. The highlighted orthomosaics and three-dimensional imagery can then be used as a basis to determine the pavement surface condition and subsequently support maintenance orders and manage pavement repairs. Further, metadata such as latitude, longitude, and altitude geo-location coordinates and sampling time can also be transferred to the output products to create a digital time history and enable analysis for preventative maintenance planning.

  • Patent number: 12245134
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operating in an “Onboarding Mode” may search for a network broadcasting Onboarding Capability Information (OCI), then register using onboarding credentials and receive SNPN credentials from the network. The UE may then exit onboarding mode, enter Manual Network Selection or Automatic Network Selection mode, and connect to the SNPN. A UE may also receive from a network a list of PLMNs and SNPNs that are equivalent then, when registering, indicate to the network that a requested slice is not associated with the UE's HPLMN, but is associated with an SNPN. The network may indicate to the UE how the slices of the network map to the slices of the SNPN, and may indicate whether a slice that is offered by the network only partially maps to a slice of the SNPN or HPLMN.

  • Patent number: 12230058
    Abstract: Disclosed implementations include a method, apparatus and computer media for learning an optimal graph in the form of a tree topology defining a sequence that can be used by a learning network for image recognition. Image data representing the image of an object is received and N landmarks are detected on the image using a deep regression algorithm, wherein N is an integer. A weighted, fully connected, graph is constructed from the landmarks by assigning initial weights for the landmarks randomly. An optimized tree structure is determined based on the initial weights. A sequence is generated by traversing nodes of the tree structure and a series of embeddings representing the object image are generated based on the sequence. The embeddings can be processed by a neural network to generate an image recognition signal based on the embeddings.

  • Patent number: 12211275
    Abstract: Techniques for reducing the latency of annotating a replay video segment may include receiving a video segment with content involving multiple individuals. An annotation task is performed concurrently with a tracking task. The annotation task receives annotation data to indicate which of the individuals is an individual of interest in a subset of frames of the video segment, and the tracking task tracks the individuals in the video segment by generating bounding objects corresponding to the individuals. The annotation data can be associated with the bounding objects to detect a bounding object for the individual of interest, and a visualization emphasis object is generated based on the detected bounding object in a replay video segment to identify the individual of interest.
