  • Patent number: 10922811
    Abstract: A system includes a computer programmed to detect a first and a second object in received image data, determine a mesh of cells on each of the first and second object surface, upon identifying a cell of the mesh on the first object mismatched to a corresponding cell on the second object to refine the mismatched cell to a plurality of cells, wherein identifying the mismatch is based on a at least one of a mismatch in a color, texture, shape, and dimensions, stop refining the cell upon determining that a refinement of the refined cell of the first object results in a refined cell that is matched to a corresponding refined cell of the second object, and output location data of mismatched cells of the first and second objects. A mismatched cell has at least one of a color mismatch, texture mismatch, and shape mismatch.

  • Patent number: 9221367
    Abstract: A vehicle load floor assembly includes a vehicle seat that has a seatback that pivots between upright and stowed positions. A cargo floor extends rearward from the seat. A first panel pivotally couples with an upper portion of the seatback and pivots to a raised position away from the seatback in a forward stowed position. A second panel pivotally couples with the first panel and is pivotally deployable rearward to define a support surface together with the first panel that engages the cargo floor.

  • Patent number: 8528957
    Abstract: A vehicle is provided with a seat oriented in a passenger compartment forward of a storage compartment. The seat has a seat back that is pivotally connected to a body of the vehicle. The seat back is pivotable between a seating position and a storage position. A battery is disposed within the storage compartment. A tray is removably connected to the vehicle body in either one of a first and a second position. The tray is elevated from the battery within the storage compartment in the first position. The tray is connected to the vehicle body such that it is contiguous with and forward of the battery in the second position. A flat load floor is formed by the top surface of a housing of the battery together with the tray.
