  • Patent number: 11562583
    Abstract: A system for identifying an aspect of interest on a vehicle that includes a local AI system that can analyze sensor data from an on-site sensor to make an attempt to identify the aspect of interest according to first criterion. The aspect of interest can be information printed on the vehicle and/or on a seal of the vehicle. If the local AI system is unable to identify and validate the information on the first effort, it can consult with a central/global AI system that can leverage its own database and other local systems at other locations for subsequent attempts at identifying and validating the aspects of interest.

  • Patent number: 11507836
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that involve federated learning techniques that utilize locally-determined ground truth data that may be used in addition to, or in the alternative to, user-provided ground truth data. Some implementations provide an improved federated learning technique that creates ground truth data on the user device using a second prediction technique that differs from a first prediction technique/model that is being trained. The second prediction technique may be better but may be less suited for real time, general use than the first prediction technique.

  • Patent number: 11508056
    Abstract: A set of images of a three-dimensional (3D) inspection object collected by a drone during execution of a first flight path may be received, along with telemetry data from the drone. A tagged set of images may be stored, with each tagged image being stored together with a corresponding drone position at a corresponding time that the tagged image was captured, as obtained from the telemetry data. A mapping of the set of tagged images to corresponding portions of a 3D model of the 3D inspection object may be executed, based on the telemetry data. Based on the mapping, at least one portion of the 3D inspection object omitted from the set of tagged images may be identified. A second flight path may be generated for the drone that specifies a position of the drone to capture an image of the at least one omitted portion of the 3D inspection object.

  • Patent number: 11501105
    Abstract: A system may automatically create training datasets for training a segmentation model to recognize features such as lanes on a road. The system may receive sensor data representative of a portion of an environment and map data from a map data store including existing map data for the portion of the environment that includes features present in that portion of the environment. The system may project or overlay the features onto the sensor data to create training datasets for training the segmentation model, which may be a neural network. The training datasets may be communicated to the segmentation model to train the segmentation model to segment data associated with similar features present in different sensor data. The trained segmentation model may be used to update the map data store, and may be used to segment sensor data obtained from other portions of the environment, such as portions not previously mapped.

  • Patent number: 11490965
    Abstract: The subject matter includes systems, methods, and prosthetic devices for joint reconstruction surgery. A computer-assisted intraoperating planning method can include accessing a first medical image providing a first view of a joint within a surgical site as well as receiving selection of a first component of a modular prosthetic device implanted in the first bone of the joint. The method continues by displaying a graphical representation of the first component of the modular prosthetic device overlaid on the first medical image, and updating a graphical representation of the first component based on receiving positioning inputs representative of an implant location of the first component relative to landmarks on the first bone visible within the first medical image. The method concludes by presenting a selection interface enabling visualization of additional components of the modular prosthetic device virtually connected to the first component and overlaid on the first medical image.
