  • Patent number: 11653587
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for displaying images of certain surroundings of an agricultural implement, for example one including a frame extending between opposing distal ends of a length transverse to a working direction of the agricultural implement. Individual image regions of the surroundings of the agricultural implement are captured using cameras arranged on the agricultural implement and directed toward a working area in the working direction, wherein a corresponding display is generated on a user interface. One or more traveling conditions (e.g., an edge of the working area and/or an edge of the frame, respectively corresponding to a first end and/or second end of the frame) may be automatically projected in the working direction, wherein respective indicia corresponding to the projected traveling conditions are superimposed on the generated display. The indicia may optionally be modified dynamically based on determined changes in a projected course of the working direction.

  • Patent number: 11625558
    Abstract: Data events of an event stream are processed in accordance with temporally valid machine learning models. A streaming node may receive data events via an event stream. Each data event may be associated with a timestamp. The streaming node may also utilize punctuation events that specify the temporal validity of available machine learning models. The streaming node performs a temporal join operation for each data event based on its timestamp and the temporal validity. If the data event's timestamp is less than or equal to the punctuation event's timestamp, the data event is provided to the temporally valid machine learning model for processing thereby. If the data event's timestamp is greater than the punctuation event's timestamp, the data event is held until a subsequent punctuation event specifying a later timestamp is received.

  • Patent number: 11532134
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and facilitating access to a personalized augmented rendering of a user to be presented in an augmented reality environment are discussed herein. The augmented rendering of a user may be personalized by the user to comprise a desired representation of the user in an augmented reality environment. When a second user is detected within the field of view of a first user, the second user may be identified and virtual content (e.g., an augmented rendering) for the second user may be obtained. The virtual content obtained may differ based on one or more subscriptions for the first user and/or permissions associated with the virtual content of the second user. The virtual content obtained may be rendered and appear superimposed over or in conjunction with a view of the second in the augmented reality environment.

  • Patent number: 11527104
    Abstract: Systems and methods for learning and recognizing features of an image are provided. A point detector identifies points in an image where there are two-dimensional changes. A geometric feature evaluator overlays at least one mesh on the image and analyzes geometric features on the at least one mesh. An internal calibrator transforms data from the point detector and the geometric feature evaluator into a three-dimensional point figure of the image, and a depth evaluator determines a final shape of the image. A three-dimensional object model of the image is constructed. The image could be a human face or body. Exemplary systems and methods can construct and learn features of a human face based on a partial view where part of the face is covered. Systems and methods can unlock a mobile device based on recognition of the features of the user's face.

  • Patent number: 11521019
    Abstract: Embodiments of the system, as described herein leverage artificial intelligence, machine-learning, and/or other complex, specific-use computer systems to provide a novel approach for identifying patterns in input data and determine and implement necessary changes to a regulated ML model within the bounds of a regulatory control structure. The system utilizes a collection of machine learning models, either individually or clustered, to process incoming data to determine if specific data should be flagged as irregular or part of the formation of an emerging pattern. The system may intelligently analyze such patterns to determine any regulatory implications that may arise from acting on or adapting to the perceived patterns.
