  • Patent number: 12236650
    Abstract: In some examples, processing circuitry receives at least a first mesh frame associated with a first time instance and a second mesh frame associated with a second time instance. The first mesh frame includes a first two dimension (2D) map with first patches having three-dimension (3D) information mapped to 2D. The second mesh frame includes a second 2D map with second patches having 3D information mapped to 2D. The processing circuitry identifies that a first patch in the first patches is a reference matching patch for a second patch in the second patches. Further, the processing circuitry determines first re-map transform parameters for a temporal alignment of the second patch to the first patch, and generates a new second 2D map that includes a transformed second patch that is transformed from the second patch according to the first re-map transform parameters.

  • Patent number: 12236505
    Abstract: A system and method for flood hazard estimation inputs a satellite elevation map and applies a machine learning model to output a geographic map representing flood hazard areas. The machine learning model is trained using a generative adversarial network (GAN) to produce an output of a deterministic hazard mapping algorithm. A GAN objective applies a loss function, reweighted to increase the importance of high hazard areas. The method retrieves a DEM topography file representing elevation data of an identified terrain, and applies a sink-filling algorithm to detect and fill sinks in the DEM topography. The algorithm subtracts the DEM elevation data to generate a filled topography, and identifies flattest regions of the filled topography. The algorithm then generates a flood hazard map by merging the filled topography and the DEM elevation data, using a weighting function that balances the detected sinks and the flattest regions of the filled topography.

  • Patent number: 12154289
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for remotely measuring distances in an environment captured by a device. A device captures a video stream of a device along with AR data that may include camera pose information and/or depth information, and transmits the video stream and AR data to a remote device. The environment may be analyzed to identify objects such as lines, edges, curves, shapes, anchors/corners, products, e.g., appliances, and other things of interest. Some or all of objects may be identified to the remote device to facilitate selecting an object or region of interest. Selected points for an object may be more precisely located by snapping them to corresponding anchor points for an object. Using anchor points facilitates more precise identification and/or measurement of an aspect of an object, such as one of its dimensions, the volume of a space, or performing other actions such as replacement of an object.

  • Patent number: 12142065
    Abstract: A device for analyzing cell morphology and a method for identifying cells are provided. A digital camera photographs a cell image of a blood sample under a low-magnification objective lens. A processor identifies and positions suspected cells of preset type in the cell image to obtain an identification result. Based on the identification result and a target number, the processor determines a number of suspected cells of preset type to be identified and positioned under the low-magnification objective lens. The digital camera further photographs, under a high-magnification objective lens, the suspected cells of preset type identified and positioned, and then the processor identifies whether the suspected cells of preset type photographed are cells of preset type, to count the number of cells of preset type photographed under the high-magnification objective lens and obtain a statistical value. If the statistical value?the target number, photographing is stopped.
