  • Patent number: 10986325
    Abstract: Scene flow represents the three-dimensional (3D) structure and movement of objects in a video sequence in three dimensions from frame-to-frame and is used to track objects and estimate speeds for autonomous driving applications. Scene flow is recovered by a neural network system from a video sequence captured from at least two viewpoints (e.g., cameras), such as a left-eye and right-eye of a viewer. An encoder portion of the system extracts features from frames of the video sequence. The features are input to a first decoder to predict optical flow and a second decoder to predict disparity. The optical flow represents pixel movement in (x,y) and the disparity represents pixel movement in z (depth). When combined, the optical flow and disparity represent the scene flow.

  • Publication number: 20150112913
    Abstract: A case-based reasoning, CBR, platform for monitoring a situation includes: a CBR engine; a unified data cache; a case library; an agent application programming interface, API; a data source API; an application API; and a persistence API. The data source API provides an interface between live and/or static data sources, external from the CBR platform, and the unified data cache. The persistence API provides an interface between a persistence database, external from the CBR platform, and the unified data cache and the case library. The application API provides an interface between the systems of data analysts, platform administrators and/or operators, external from the CBR platform, and the unified data cache and the case library. The agent API receives information from data interpretation agents external from the CBR platform and sends the received information to the CBR engine to provide the CBR engine with information for generating the CBR results.

  • Patent number: 8615363
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented software tool that is adapted to listen continuously to data streams from a drilling operation and to process the data to generate a situation description for a current drilling situation in a form useful for automated continuous matching with a set of past cases stored in a knowledge database. The invention implements a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to match the current drilling situation as defined by the situation description with one or more stored past cases having a degree of similarity above a predetermined threshold level. Matching cases are displayed to the drilling engineer as symbols on a case “radar”, allowing the drilling engineer to retrieve and view the details of a past case and take appropriate action based on drilling advice provided within the past case.

  • Publication number: 20060204014
    Abstract: A hearing test device and method are disclosed which involve the placement of a testing probe in the ear canal of a test subject. The device analyzes responses to stimuli applied to the ear canal to determine whether the testing probe has been properly placed in the ear canal. The device may determine, for example, whether the probe is stable, whether it is sealed in the ear canal, whether the resulting volume of the ear canal is acceptable, and/or whether the stimuli delivery system is blocked in any way. If the device determines that the testing probe has been properly placed in the ear canal, the device automatically starts a hearing test without requiring any operator input.
