Abstract: A light emitting diode display panel may comprise a substrate, a plurality of light emitting diodes located over the substrate, and an optical assembly located over the plurality of light emitting diodes. The optical assembly may include a lens array and a diffuser. An inner surface of the lens array may define a plurality of inner curves.

Abstract: A method is disclosed herein, including detecting, by a processor, a signal received from a camera, the signal including an image. The method further includes processing, by the processor, the received signal to identify an image included in the signal and determining, by the processor, that the signal includes a discreet message, the discreet message is embedded within an image. The method further includes decrypting, by the processor, the discreet message embedded within the signal and sending, by the processor, the decrypted message to be displayed.

Abstract: A method of inspecting a component for anomalous regions includes recording a plurality of sensor readings using one or more sensors, each reading corresponding to a different region of the component; determining an appearance metric for each reading; and determining a nominal appearance metric based on individual values of the appearance metric for a first subset of the readings. The method includes, for a particular sensor reading outside the first subset: determining a difference between the nominal appearance metric and the appearance metric of the particular sensor reading; updating the nominal appearance metric based on the particular sensor reading; and, based on the difference exceeding a threshold: determining that the particular sensor reading is anomalous and corresponds to an anomalous region of the component, and recording additional sensor readings of the anomalous region using one or more sensing parameters that differ from those used to record the anomalous sensor reading.

Abstract: A system including a robot mean to move a member by using a first camera coupled to the robot, a second camera coupled to the robot, a control device configured to control position of the robot in order to minimize a pixel-wise distance between the member and a target based on alternating input from the first camera and the second camera.

Abstract: A method for measuring sea state includes scanning an area of a waterborne moving object over a period of time using at least one sensor to obtain point cloud data of the moving object. The area of the moving object is identified based on the point cloud data. Changes in movement of the area of the moving object are characterized over the period of time based on the point cloud data to calculate a state of the moving object. Sea state is estimated based on the state of the moving object.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the distance between at least one point on a vehicle and at least one projected area off of the vehicle includes receiving, with a processor, sensor signals indicative of LIDAR data for the projected area off the vehicle; applying, with the processor, a linear estimation algorithm to filter out noise within the LIDAR data and define a surface plane for the projected area; evaluating, with the processor, the LIDAR data against a vehicle state model; determining, with the processor, the distance between the at least one point on the vehicle and the at least one projected area off the vehicle; and commanding a response in the vehicle controls.
