Abstract: In example embodiments, techniques are provided for using machine learning to extract machine-readable labels for text boxes and symbols in P&IDs in image-only formats. A P&ID data extraction application uses an optical character recognition (OCR) algorithm to predict labels for text boxes in a P&ID. The P&ID data extraction application uses a first machine learning algorithm to detect symbols in the P&ID and return a predicted bounding box and predicted class of equipment for each symbol. One or more of the predicted bounding boxes may be decimate by non-maximum suppression to avoid overlapping detections. The P&ID data extraction application uses a second machine learning algorithm to infer properties for each detected symbol having a remaining predicted bounding box. The P&ID data extraction application stores the predicted bounding box and a label including the predicted class of equipment and inferred properties in a machine-readable format.

Abstract: A light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. To mitigate artifacts caused by a light emitter operating through a display, the display may have a higher density of thin-film transistor sub-pixels than emissive sub-pixels. This allows for a region in the display to include emissive sub-pixels but be free of thin-film transistor sub-pixels. The light emitter may operate through this region in the display. Additionally, to reduce the amount of space occupied in the inactive area of a display by gate driver circuitry, at least a portion of the gate driver circuitry may be positioned in the active area of the display. To accommodate the gate driver circuitry, emissive sub-pixels may be laterally shifted relative to corresponding thin-film transistor sub-pixels.

Abstract: A gesture-based wake process for an AR system is described herein. The AR system places a hand-tracking input pipeline of the AR system in a suspended mode. A camera component of the hand-tracking input pipeline detects a possible visual wake command being made by a user of the AR system. On the basis of detecting the possible visual wake command, the AR system wakes the hand-tracking input pipeline and places the camera component in a fully operational mode. If the AR system, using the hand-tracking input pipeline, verifies the possible visual wake command as an actual wake command, the AR system initiates execution of an AR application.
