  • Patent number: 12283040
    Abstract: A computer-implemented point-cloud data acquisitioning method for acquiring point-cloud data of the inside of a mining equipment. The method includes the step of acquiring from a sensor, a first dataset and a second dataset, wherein each dataset includes datapoints at coordinates. The method extracts features from the first and second dataset and aligns the first and second dataset using the extracted features. The first and second dataset are aligned into a point-cloud data. The geometry of the mining equipment is estimated based on the point-cloud data and the point-cloud data is used to identify a region of the estimated geometry indicating insufficient data.

  • Patent number: 12277392
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing or automating a review process of annotation tags for a set of tokens is described. A system may receive a list of tokens with associated tags for each token for a data set and may output any identified inconsistencies where a token is assigned at least two different tags. For example, instead of a human looking at each token individually or taking a sample set of the tags for review, the described techniques may look at all tokens with the associated tags in a set of data and may leverage reorganizing the tokens and associated tags to highlight errors to be fixed. Accordingly, the system may look across all tokens within an entire data set, while a review (e.g., by a human) of possible errors of the data set is limited to the highlighted errors flagged by the system.

  • Patent number: 12277303
    Abstract: Different types of media experiences can be developed based on characteristics of the consumer. “Linear” experiences may require execution of a pre-built script, although the script could be dynamically modified by a media production platform. Linear experiences can include guided audio tours that are modified or updated based on the location of the consumer. “Enhanced” experiences include conventional media content that is supplemented with intelligent media content. For example, turn-by-turn directions could be supplemented with audio descriptions about the surrounding area. “Freeform” experiences, meanwhile, are those that can continually morph based on information gleaned from a consumer. For example, a radio station may modify what content is being presented based on the geographical metadata uploaded by a computing device associated with the consumer.

  • Patent number: 12264932
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to interactions, between vehicle computing devices and mobile computing devices, that reduce duplicative processes from occurring at either device. Reduction of such processes can be performed, in some instances, via communications between a vehicle computing device and a mobile computing device in order to determine, for example, how to uniquely render content at an interface of each respective computing device while the user is driving the vehicle. These communications can occur before a user has entered a vehicle, while the user is in the vehicle, and/or after a user has left the vehicle. For instance, just before a user enters a vehicle, a vehicle computing device can be primed for certain automated assistant interactions between the user and their mobile computing device. Alternatively, or additionally, the user can authorize the vehicle computing device to perform certain processes immediately after leaving the vehicle.
