  • Patent number: 11182906
    Abstract: Technology for performing object tracking of an object in a video image using both object detection algorithm and an object tracking algorithm. Because object detection algorithms are generally slower, but accurate, than object tracking algorithms, only certain sampled video frames are subject to the object detection algorithm. The non-sampled frames locate the object using the object tracking algorithm, using the most recent previous object detected frame as a starting frame. In this way, the object detection algorithm is used to periodically, effectively calibrate the object tracking algorithm by using a lagging detection result to hide latency introduced by the object detection algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11184952
    Abstract: An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory, where to configure the UE for DMRS processing in an NR network, the processing circuitry is to decode higher layer signaling, the higher layer signaling to indicate whether transform precoding is enabled and to indicate a modulation scheme for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) if transform precoding is enabled. A set of low Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio (PAPR) base sequences of length-6 is generated. A reference signal sequence is generated as a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) using the set of low-PAPR base sequences, based on the modulation scheme if transform precoding is enabled by the higher layer signaling, the modulation scheme being a ?/2-binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation scheme. Mapping of the DMRS to physical resources for transmission using the PUSCH is performed.
