Abstract: A computing device acquires an original image sequence. The device performs image preprocessing on the original image sequence to obtain a feature map sequence and a confidence map sequence that are corresponding to the original image sequence. The device performs feature fusion on the feature map sequence based on the confidence map sequence, to obtain a target fused feature map corresponding to a target original image frame in the original image sequence. The device reconstructs the target original image frame based on the target fused feature map to obtain a target reconstructed image frame. Credibility supervision at the pixel level is performed on features in the feature fusion process to guide the fusion of image features with high credibility, thereby improving the image quality of a reconstructed image.

Abstract: An asymmetric adiabatic polarization beam splitter integrated with a waveband filtering splitter unit and a polarization filtering splitter unit is capable of being packaged to form an integrated optical waveguide filtering chip. The waveband filtering splitter unit utilizes an adiabatic optical waveguide structure and stimulated Raman adiabatic passage on an optical waveguide to split the energy of light sources of different bands to different spaces when the light energy is performed with an adiabatic process. The polarization filtering splitter unit utilizes the two orthogonal polarization modes of an optical waveguide with birefringence to achieve a polarization-dependent mode splitting effect based on an adiabatic theory. The asymmetric adiabatic polarization beam splitter realizes the characteristics of integration and high process tolerance, and improves the mass production feasibility.

Abstract: Aspects concern a method for correcting errors in map data comprising obtaining map data specifying travel possibilities between locations, generating a routing graph from the map data by assigning a vertex to each location and an edge from one vertex to another vertex if the map data specifies that it is possible to travel from the location to which the first vertex is assigned to the location to which the second vertex is assigned, identifying the largest strongly connected component of the routing graph, identifying one or more further strongly connected components of the routing graph, detecting errors in the map data by identifying travel possibilities that are not in the map data which lead to missing connections between the one or more further strongly connected components of the routing graph and the largest strongly connected component of the routing graph and amending the map data by the identified travel possibilities.

Abstract: A method of determining paging restriction on downlink signals for MUSIM UEs is proposed. If a UE requests the network to support paging restriction over the first USIM, the UE can send a request message to the network, carrying a UE-preferred paging restriction information. Subsequently, the UE should then receive an accept message from the network that the paging is restricted over the first USIM based on the UE-preferred paging restriction information. As a result, when DL signaling is pending for the UE over the first USIM, the network can determine whether it should page the UE over the first USIM based on the paging restriction type indicated in the paging restriction information. Since the DL signaling is selectively restricted over USIM1, the UE can perform more important jobs over USIM2 with better performance and user experience.

The two electro-optical phase modulators respectively perform phase coding processes on the first orthogonal polarization direction light source signal and the second orthogonal polarization direction light source signal.
