Patent number: 11367278Abstract: Implementations relate to improved crop field segmentation and crop classification in which boundaries between crop fields are more accurately detected. In various implementations, high-elevation image(s) that capture an area containing multiple demarcated fields may be applied as input across one or more machine learning models to generate a boundary enhancement channel. Each pixel of the boundary enhancement channel may be spatially aligned with a corresponding pixel of the one or more high-elevation images. Moreover, each pixel of the boundary enhancement channel may be classified with a unit angle to a reference location of the field of the multiple demarcated fields that contains the pixel. Based on the boundary enhancement channel, pixel-wise field memberships of pixels of the one or more high-elevation images in the multiple demarcated fields may be determined.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: X DEVELOPMENT LLCInventors: Alex Wilson, Christopher Edward Bacon, Jie Yang, Cheng-en Guo

Publication number: 20130293418Abstract: An assembly includes a self-contained, adjustable shrouding for a MIMO or SISO, or combination thereof, retransmission system enclosure. The enclosure ensures proper coverage areas of small to large facilities. The proper coverage is achieved through cake layer pie designs that previously often resulted in capacity and sector overlay issues. The antenna enclosure has a directional nature that allows for dividing stadiums, arenas, tracks, (or other large groups) into manageable smaller coverage areas through controlled directional zoning.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventors: Mark Richard Bacon, Rob Thomas Gangle, Kyle Jeffrey Eggert, Paul Edward Bacon
