Abstract: This invention provides a bidirectional interactive traffic-control management system. The system comprises a road and traffic network information subsystem, an urban traffic control subsystem and a road-users' route guidance subsystem. The first subsystem forms real-time traffic information of all road sections in the digital urban traffic-control road network. The second subsystem generates a real-time optimal signal timing plan for each intersection based on the real-time traffic information of its connecting road sections. The third subsystem generates a real-time optimal route plan based on the real-time travel information of all road-users, the real-time traffic information of all road sections, and the real-time optimal signal timing plan of each intersection of the road network. It then transmits the optimal route plan into a navigator in a mobile device of a road-user or in an on-board-unit of a moving vehicle or via a roadside unit for transmission.

Abstract: A screen is manipulated to display content whose reflection is not captured by a sensor. In an embodiment, the screen inserts a black frame between screen content frames, displaying the black frame during a particular time. A sensor captures a video frame during the particular time. The video frame does not include a screen reflection and is considered a clean frame. In another embodiment, the screen displays screen content with a particular polarization during a particular time. A sensor captures a video frame with another polarization during the same time. The polarizations are selected such that the sensor is unable to capture screen reflections. The video frame is considered a clean frame. The clean frame is used to generate a masking frame, which is applied to target video frames to remove screen reflection. A modified target video, including the reflection-removed target video frame, and/or the clean frame itself, is generated.
