  • Patent number: 12112466
    Abstract: A method of determining a capability of an electrical panel includes providing information relative to the electrical panel to a computer vision software, such as through an image captured by a camera. An attribute of the electrical panel may be analyzed, using the computer vision software, panel at least partially based on the information. An overall electrical power capacity of the electrical panel may be calculated based at least in part on the attribute of the electrical panel. An electrical load on the electrical panel may be calculated based at least in part on the attribute of the electrical panel. A report may be generated that includes an unused electrical power capacity of the electrical panel at least partially based on the electrical load and the overall electrical power capacity of the electrical panel.

  • Patent number: 12112406
    Abstract: An attention mechanism-based low-dose dual-tracer PET reconstruction method. The method achieves low-dose dual-tracer PET image reconstruction by an attention mechanism-based convolution network model, and estimates the standard dose and separates dual-tracer PET signals in a sinogram. With the help of deep learning, a feature extraction tool, the method can reconstruct standard-dose single-tracer PET images in a PET Low-Dose Dual-Tracer Sinogram.

  • Patent number: 12105473
    Abstract: Methods of performing a complex Fourier transform of a complex data set corresponding to an image are disclosed. The methods comprise receiving a complex data set and performing a first 1D complex Fourier transform in the complex data set in Cartesian form; converting the complex data set into polar form and compressing the complex data set in polar form; performing a row-column transformation of the complex data set; decompressing the complex data set and converting the complex data set back into Cartesian form; and performing a second 1D Fourier transform in the complex data set in Cartesian form, wherein the second 1D complex Fourier transform is orthogonal to the first 1D complex Fourier transform. Corresponding systems are also disclosed, as are application to the iterative computation of computer-generated holograms.

  • Patent number: 12094167
    Abstract: A system and method utilizing an existing boresighted HUD and a camera to determine the transformational and rotational relationships between the camera image and the boresighted HUD image of an aircraft to properly orient the camera for landing operations. Known boresight features are identified in a HUD image and are related to the same boresight features in a camera image, and transformations are applied to align pixels in the camera image to the pixel locations of the boresight features in the HUD image. Object recognition algorithms may be employed to identify the boresight features in the camera image.

  • Patent number: 12045994
    Abstract: The invention relates to automatic discovery and evaluation of a motion by treating motion recognition as an optimization problem by considering a series of basic motions obtained by segmenting a subject motion. The method comprises segmenting time series data defining a motion of a subject into a plurality of segments, classifying each segment into a class for a basic motion by using time series data of the segment, and converting the motion of the subject to a sequence of high rank symbols in which each high rank symbol is formed from a series of the basic motions, wherein a function that calculates a score based on a set of a high rank symbol and a sequence of basic motions is provided and the motion of the subject is converted to the sequence of the high rank symbols by an optimization calculation using dynamic programming.
