Abstract: A prediction system for simulating effects of a real-world event can be used for autonomous driving. In operation, the system receives input data regarding a complex system (e.g., roadways) and various real-world events. A full-scale network is constructed of the complex system, such that nodes represent road intersections and edges between nodes represent road segments linking the road intersections. The network is reduced is scaled down to generate a multi-layer model of the complex system. Each layer in the model is simulated to identify equilibrium flows, with the model thereafter destabilized by applying stimuli to reflect the real-world event. An autonomous vehicle can then be caused to chart and traverse a road path based on road segments and intersections that are least affected by the real-world event.

Abstract: The disclosed method encompasses registering an augmented reality device such as augmented reality glasses with a tracking coordinate system associated with a position tracking system. This may be effected by different approaches, for example by using a distance measurement unit (depth sensor) of the augmented reality device to determine a position of the augmented reality device relative to an object in a medical environment such as in surgery or radiotherapy/radiosurgery. The object may additionally be tracked by the position tracking system so that on the basis of the distance measurement, a relative position between the augmented reality device and the tracking coordinate system can be determined in order to register the augmented reality device with the position tracking system. This registration allows displaying augmentation information in a desired context and/or at a desired location in the image of the medical environment captured by the augmented reality device.
