  • Patent number: 12106518
    Abstract: A system for on-vehicle camera alignment monitoring includes an on-vehicle camera in communication with a controller. The controller monitors vehicle operating parameters and camera signal parameters, and captures an image file from the on-vehicle camera. A first level analysis of the image file, the vehicle operating parameters, and the camera signal parameters is executed to detect dynamic conditions and image feature parameters that affect camera alignment. An error with one of the dynamic conditions or the image feature parameters that affects the camera alignment is detected. A second level analysis of the camera signal parameters is executed to identify a root cause indicating one of the dynamic conditions or the image feature parameters that affects the camera alignment based upon the error. A camera alignment-related fault is detected based upon the root cause, and vehicle operation is controlled based upon the camera alignment-related fault.

  • Patent number: 12059284
    Abstract: A device may obtain first information relating to one or more first lung nodules identified in first imaging of a chest of a patient and second information relating to one or more second lung nodules identified in second imaging of the chest of the patient. The device may provide the first information and the second information to a machine learning model. The device may determine, using the machine learning model, a risk of lung cancer associated with the patient based on an elapsed time between performance of the first imaging and the second imaging and differences between the first information and the second information. The risk of lung cancer may have an inverse correlation to the elapsed time and a direct correlation to the differences.

  • Patent number: 12059995
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method correct a level of a headlamp, in which a sight of the driver may be sufficiently secured while an influence on a sight of a driver of a preceding vehicle is minimized by specifying a level of a cutoff line of the headlamp using a transverse length and a longitudinal length of a number plate frame image. The specified level is compared with a level of a target line calculated based on a change of an inter-vehicle distance. The method includes determining whether it is necessary to perform a correction of raising or lowering the level of the headlamp, and a correcting the level of the headlamp such that the cutoff line of the headlamp follows the level of the target line at the corresponding inter-vehicle distance.

  • Patent number: 12046056
    Abstract: A computer device obtains a to-be-annotated image having a first magnification. The device obtains an annotated image from an annotated image set, the annotated image distinct from the to-be-annotated image and having a second magnification that is distinct from with the first magnification. The annotated image set includes at least one annotated image. The device matches the to-be-annotated image with the annotated image to obtain an affine transformation matrix, and generates annotation information of the to-be-annotated image according to the affine transformation matrix and the annotated image. In this way, annotations corresponding to images at different magnifications may be migrated. For example, the annotations may be migrated from the low-magnification images to the high-magnification images, thereby reducing the manual annotation amount and avoiding repeated annotations, and further improving annotation efficiency and reducing labor costs.
