Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to method and system for detecting and extracting price region from digital flyers and promotions. In retail business, extracting price information from digital flyers is crucial for complex nature of flyers having large variety of formats, color scheme, font styles, variable text information and thereof. The method of the present disclosure detects a text region comprising a price information from a set of digital flyers and promotions received as input images. Further, each text region is converted into a two-color text comprising of a set of white pixels and a set of black pixels. Further, underlying price from the price region of the two-color text is detected and price is extracted from the price region of each input image. Additionally, the price region detection function detects price region accurately and extracts price values having an irregular font size.

Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices, and other aspects of a data processing system improve reliability in transmitting digital media content over a network using resource constrained hardware. Media content may be received from a media source and used to generate data segments. A reference to a first segment of the media content stored in the buffer is written to a message queue. A computing device switches into copy data mode in response to the number of references in the buffer being greater than or equal to a first threshold value. A second segment of the media content is written directly to the message queue.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to process chambers with coaxial lift devices. In some embodiments, the device comprises both a bottom bowl lift and a pedestal lift. The bottom bowl lift supports a bottom bowl and is configured to move the bottom bowl into a position that reduces the process volume. The bottom bowl lift is co-axial with the pedestal lift and the bottom bowl lift and the pedestal lift are attached for vacuum operation. The pedestal lift includes multiple actuators to create a dynamic lift mechanism. Both systems complete a nested system such that the bottom bowl lift is adjustable and can close the bottom bowl creating a symmetric and small process volume. The pedestal lift can move independently to its process position and tilt in a desired direction without interference with the bottom bowl lift, increasing film uniformity on a processed substrate.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for detecting a need for sensor adjustment. Information is received from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to a sensor, including one or more measurements associated with the IMU, where the sensor is deployed on a vehicle for sensing surrounding information to facilitate autonomous driving. The one or more measurements are analyzed with respect to one or more corresponding known measurements of the IMU. The discrepancy between the one or more measurements and the one or more corresponding known measurements is used to determine whether an adjustment to the sensor is needed.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to method and system for determining label value for labels in unstructured documents. Typical systems have challenge in understanding variations in layout of unstructured documents and extract information therefrom. The disclosed method and system facilitate systematically identifying sections and bounding boxes in the page images, taking image portion of the bounding boxes and extracting labels and label values therefrom. In case the label values are not present in the same bounding box having the label, the neighboring labels are examined for the matching label values. The system also obtains label-label value pairs from the document by utilizing a trained deep learning model, and compares the output with the label-label value pairs extracted earlier. An aggregated confidence score is assigned to the text in the bounding box.
