  • Patent number: 11688196
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for estimating the shape, size, and mass of fish are described. A pair of stereo cameras may be utilized to obtain right and left images of fish in a defined area. The right and left images may be processed, enhanced, and combined. Object detection may be used to detect and track a fish in images. A pose estimator may be used to determine key points and features of the detected fish. Based on the key points, a three-dimensional (3-D) model of the fish is generated that provides an estimate of the size and shape of the fish. A regression model or neural network model can be applied to the 3-D model to determine a likely weight of the fish.

  • Patent number: 11645856
    Abstract: A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a driver monitoring camera and an illumination source accommodated within a movable head of an interior rearview mirror of a vehicle. The illumination source is electrically controlled to modulate near-infrared (NIR) light emitted by the illumination source whereby NIR light emitted by the illumination source comprises a characteristic modulation signature. Ambient light that is present within the interior cabin of the vehicle and modulated NIR light emitted by the illumination source that is reflected off at least the head of the driver of the vehicle are incident at the imaging array sensor of the driver monitoring camera. Processing of captured image data at an image processor distinguishes (i) NIR light emitted by the illumination source that has the characteristic modulation signature and that is reflected off the head of the driver from (ii) ambient light present within the interior cabin of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11645828
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining an explanation map of an image, in which all those pixels of the image are changed which are significant for a classification of the image ascertained with the aid of a deep neural network. The explanation map is selected in such a way that a smallest possible subset of the pixels of the image are changed, and the explanation map preferably does not lead to the same classification result as the image when it is supplied to the deep neural network for classification. The explanation map is selected in such a way that an activation caused by the explanation map does not essentially exceed an activation caused by the image in feature maps of the deep neural network.

  • Patent number: 11636917
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining metabolic pathway dynamics using time series multiomics data. In one example, after receiving time series multiomics data comprising time-series metabolomics data associated a metabolic pathway and time-series proteomics data associated with the metabolic pathway, derivatives of the time series multiomics data can be determined. A machine learning model, representing a metabolic pathway dynamics model, can be trained using the time series multiomics data and the derivatives of the time series multiomics data, wherein the metabolic pathway dynamics model relates the time-series metabolomics data and time-series proteomics data to the derivatives of the time series multiomics data. The method can include simulating a virtual strain of the organism using the metabolic pathway dynamics model.
