  • Patent number: 10860888
    Abstract: A system trains a computer model to classify images and to draw bounding boxes around classified objects in the images. The system uses a combination of partially labeled training images and fully labeled training images to train a model, such as a neural network model. The fully labeled training images include a classification label indicating a class of object depicted in the image, and bounding box or coordinate labels indicating a number of objects of the class in the image as well as the location of the objects of the class in the image. The partially labeled training images include a classification label but no indication of where in the image any objects of the class are located. Training the model using both types of training data makes it possible for the model to recognize and locate objects of classes that lack available fully labeled training data.

  • Publication number: 20080020221
    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating a recycled output are disclosed. This recycled output may include a fabric produced by fusing reclaimed plastic bags. The reclaimed plastic bags are fused together using a material manufacturing system. This system is typically configured to heat the plastic bags to a temperature wherein the plastic bags fuse together but do completely melt. Some embodiments include the addition of different types of plastic or non-plastic materials to the recycled output. Also disclosed are systems and methods of controlling textures and patterns within the recycled output.
