  • Patent number: 12211230
    Abstract: A relative position calculator calculates relative position and attitude of a vehicle based on images captured by an image capturing apparatus on the vehicle. An absolute position calculator extracts a marker from an image captured by the image capturing apparatus, and calculates absolute position and attitude of the vehicle, based on position and attitude of the one extracted marker. A corrector calculates the corrected position and attitude, not using the absolute position and attitude calculated based on the position and attitude of the marker when a difference or ratio of an apparent height and width of the marker in the image is equal to or smaller than a threshold, but using the absolute position and attitude calculated based on the position and attitude of the marker when the difference or ratio is larger than the threshold.

  • Patent number: 12169784
    Abstract: Today, artificial neural networks are trained on large sets of manually tagged images. Generally, for better training, the training data should be as large as possible. Unfortunately, manually tagging images is time consuming and susceptible to error, making it difficult to produce the large sets of tagged data used to train artificial neural networks. To address this problem, the inventors have developed a smart tagging utility that uses a feature extraction unit and a fast-learning classifier to learn tags and tag images automatically, reducing the time to tag large sets of data. The feature extraction unit and fast-learning classifiers can be implemented as artificial neural networks that associate a label with features extracted from an image and tag similar features from the image or other images with the same label. Moreover, the smart tagging system can learn from user adjustment to its proposed tagging. This reduces tagging time and errors.

  • Patent number: 12169962
    Abstract: Digital image segmentation is provided. The method comprises training a neural network for image segmentation with a labeled training dataset from a first domain, wherein a subset of nodes in the neural net are dropped out during training. The neural network receives image data from a second, different domain. A vector of N values that sum to 1 is calculated for each image element, wherein each value represents an image segmentation class. A label is assigned to each image element according to the class with the highest value in the vector. Multiple inferences are performed with active dropout layers for each image element, and an uncertainty value is generated for each image element. Uncertainty is resolved according to expected characteristics. The label of any image element with an uncertainty above a threshold is replaced with a new label corresponding to a segmentation class based on domain knowledge.
