Publication number: 20240012408Abstract: A vehicle control system may include a vehicle having a propulsion unit and a steering unit, a forward-facing camera carried by the vehicle, a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising operator position identification instructions. The operator position identification instructions direct the processor to identify relative positioning of a remote operator on the ground proximate the vehicle based upon signals from the forward-facing camera; and control the propulsion unit and the steering unit of the vehicle to follow the operator based upon the relative on the ground proximate the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Christopher Travis Whitney, Rama Venkata Surya Kumar Varma Bhupatiraju, Mizbauddin Mohammed, Bhargav Ramakrishna Reddy, Praveen V.

Publication number: 20230409026Abstract: A vehicle is operable in a first mode in which vehicle actions are controlled in response to inputs received by an input device carried by the vehicle from an operator while being boarded on the vehicle and in a second mode in which vehicle actions are controlled in response to inputs received from the operator while the operator is proximate the vehicle, but no longer boarded on the vehicle. The vehicle carries a sensor configured to output a sensed input, as sensed by the sensor, from the operator proximate the vehicle, but not boarded on the vehicle. The sensed input is recognized and associated with a vehicle action and control signals are output to the vehicle based on the sensed input to cause the vehicle to carry out the vehicle action.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Christopher Travis Whitney, Rama Venkata Surya Kumar Varma Bhupatiraju, Mizbauddin Mohammed, Bhargav Ramakrishna Reddy, Praveen V.

Publication number: 20230095661Abstract: A plant locating system may include a vehicle supporting a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna and a monocular camera. The system may further include a plant locating unit comprising a processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to direct the processing unit to: acquire a sample image of a plant of interest captured at a time with the monocular camera at an unknown distance from the plant of interest (POI); determine a geographic location estimate of the GPS antenna at the time; identify a selected portion of the sample image comprising the POI; determine a distance between the POI and the monocular camera based upon the selected portion; and determine a geographic location estimate of the POI based on the geographic location estimate of the GPS antenna at the time and the determined distance between the monocular camera and the POI.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Sanket Goyal, Christopher Travis Whitney

Publication number: 20210289291Abstract: A compact multi-element microphone has two rings of directional sensors. Using simple analog electronics, it delivers first-order outputs with low noise, wide bandwidth and tight transient response. The double-ring structure provides exceptionally high directional fidelity in the horizontal plane, while also keeping out-of-plane behaviour under control. This enables faithful capture of ambience, reflections and reverberation. A non-radial capsule arrangement moderates cavity resonances and reduces shading. Combined with digital electronics, the array can efficiently provide second-order and higher-order horizontal directivities that maintain their performance over a wider frequency range than with prior solutions. Outputs can be mono, two-channel stereo and multichannel surround sound. Applications include 360-degree immersive audio, with-height concert hall recording, and advanced voice capture using electronic steering of beams and nulls.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2017Publication date: September 16, 2021Inventors: Peter Graham Craven, Christopher Travis

Patent number: 10782861Abstract: In embodiments of objects alignment and distribution layout, an object layout interface includes objects displayed for selection and manipulation. A layout algorithm receives a reposition input for a selected object in the object layout interface, and determines a distribution layout and/or an alignment layout of the objects. The layout algorithm positions the selected object equidistant between at least two of the objects or at a distance from a closest one of the objects, the distance being an equivalent distance of a space between the at least two objects. The space between the objects is displayed as positive space that visually indicates the equidistance between the objects. Alternatively or in addition, the layout algorithm positions the selected object in alignment with multiple objects, and an alignment indication, such as an edge line and/or a distance measurement, is displayed for each instance of the selected object being aligned with the multiple objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Robert Christopher Travis, Tomas Krcha, Narciso Batacan Jaramillo, Talin Chris Wadsworth, Sylvain Pierre Galineau, Lawrence Hsu, Anirudh Sasikumar
