  • Patent number: 12282524
    Abstract: A computer accesses a first symbolic expression for an output matrix as a function of an input matrix at a computing device comprising processing circuitry and memory. The computer computes a first Jacobian of the input matrix with respect to an input tangent space. The computer computes a second Jacobian of the output matrix with respect to the input matrix. The computer computes a third Jacobian of an output tangent space with respect to the input matrix. The computer applies symbolic matrix multiplication to the first Jacobian, the second Jacobian, and the third Jacobian to obtain a second symbolic expression for the output tangent space with respect to the input tangent space. The computer provides a representation of the second symbolic expression, the second symbolic expression representing a computed tangent-space Jacobian.

  • Patent number: 12148205
    Abstract: In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may determine a plurality of contour paths spaced apart from each other along at least one axis associated with a scan target. For instance, each contour path may be spaced away from a surface of the scan target based on a selected distance. The UAV may determine a plurality of image capture locations for each contour path. The image capture locations may indicate locations at which an image of a surface of the scan target is to be captured. The UAV may navigate along the plurality of contour paths based on a determined speed while capturing images of the surface of the scan target based on the image capture locations.

  • Publication number: 20240348649
    Abstract: A plurality of data sets characterizing prior intrusive activities with respect to computing resources associated with one or more entities are received at a security platform. One or more rule generation policies each pertaining to at least one type of intrusive activity are received at a security platform. The one or more rule generation policies are applied to the plurality of data sets characterizing the prior intrusive activities to generate a plurality of intrusive activity detection rules. The plurality of intrusive activity detection rules are caused to be used to detect subsequent intrusive activities.

  • Publication number: 20240067334
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle that is equipped with image capture devices can use information gathered from the image capture devices to plan a future three-dimensional (3D) trajectory through a physical environment. To this end, a technique is described for image-space based motion planning. In an embodiment, a planned 3D trajectory is projected into an image-space of an image captured by the autonomous vehicle. The planned 3D trajectory is then optimized according to a cost function derived from information (e.g., depth estimates) in the captured image. The cost function associates higher cost values with identified regions of the captured image that are associated with areas of the physical environment into which travel is risky or otherwise undesirable. The autonomous vehicle is thereby encouraged to avoid these areas while satisfying other motion planning objectives.
