  • Patent number: 11702817
    Abstract: A method for changing an orientation of a machine at a worksite includes controlling, by a controller, a movement of the machine from a first position to a second position along a first route; controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the second position to a third position along a second route; and controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the third position towards the first position along a third route, Each of the first route, the second route, and the third route define respective apexes and combinedly define a region therebetween. One or more of the apexes are directed inwards into the region.

  • Publication number: 20230107829
    Abstract: A method for removing haziness in a digital image is provided. The method includes receiving an input digital image having some haze content from an image capturing device. The input digital image is downscaled to obtain a low-resolution image. Further, a minimum intensity dark channel is determined for each local patch of the low-resolution image to obtain a dark channel image corresponding to the low-resolution image. Furthermore, a transmission map of the low-resolution image is determined based on the dark channel image. Moreover, an atmospheric light value associated with the low-resolution image is also determined. The method further includes applying the determined transmission map and the atmospheric light value associated with the low-resolution image to the input digital image to generate a de-hazed output image and displaying the generated de-hazed output image on a display unit.
