  • Publication number: 20180072218
    Abstract: A control system of a self-driving vehicle (SDV) can dynamically determine a set of autonomous driving actions to be performed by the SDV, and generate a set of intention outputs using a light output system of the SDV based on the set of autonomous driving actions, where the set of intention outputs indicating the set of autonomous driving actions prior to the SDV executing the set of autonomous driving actions. The control system can then execute the set of autonomous driving actions using acceleration, braking, and steering systems of the SDV. While executing the set of autonomous driving actions, the control system can generate a corresponding set of reactive outputs using the light output system to indicate the set of autonomous driving actions being executed, where the corresponding set of reactive outputs replacing the set of intention outputs.

  • Patent number: 9902311
    Abstract: A control system of a self-driving vehicle (SDV) can process sensor data from a sensor system of the SDV to autonomously control acceleration, steering, and braking systems of the SDV along a current route. Based on the current route, the control system can dynamically determine a set of immediate actions to be performed by the SDV. Based on the set of immediate actions, the control system can generate a set of intention outputs on a lighting strip of the SDV, the set of intention outputs indicating the set of immediate actions prior to the SDV executing the set of immediate actions.

  • Publication number: 20170045398
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for measuring an actual temperature of a flame by using all information of a radiation spectrum and a measurement system thereof. The method includes: conducting more theoretical data processing by using energy level structure correction, wherein all information of the radiation spectrum can be used; and by way of a keyboard input manner or a data transmission input manner, acquiring an energy level structure correction parameter, and finally acquiring a more accurate actual temperature value of a measured flame. The method effectively overcomes a defect that the true temperature of the flame can be obtained by only conducting radiance correction through data processing with great calculations when adpted multi-spectral temperature measurement method.

  • Patent number: 9460549
    Abstract: A method and device for generating a perspective image are provided, which are related to multimedia technology. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring the length, height and vanishing point of a required perspective image and the length and height of an original image; for each pixel point (x?, y?) in the perspective image, determining the coordinate (x, y) of a pixel point in the original image corresponding to said pixel point; copying the pixel point at the coordinate (x, y) in the original image to the position corresponding to the coordinate (x?, y?) in said perspective image. The invention utilizes a principle that perspective image is smaller than original image, and employs a form of inverse transform, thereby the calculated pixel points are reduced, and compared with forward calculation, the calculation is greatly reduced, which improves the speed of perspective image generating and saves central processing unit (CPU) resources.

  • Patent number: 9091602
    Abstract: The present invention provides a quantum theory correction method for improving the accuracy of temperature measurement of radiation thermometer and a radiation thermometer system. The invention is related to the radiation thermometer in the field of instrumentation. The present invention acquires parameters reflecting energy level structure by adopting effective physical model to process data and using keyboard input or data transmission. The temperature of the object to be measured is finally acquired and displayed on the displayer. The quantum theory correction method and radiation thermometer system effectively overcome the difficulty that the value of radiance ?(?·T) cannot be accurately measured in the event that radiance correction method is used to improve the accuracy of radiation thermometer. Thus, the accuracy of thermometer is improved significantly.
