  • Patent number: 12254646
    Abstract: A system for refining a six degrees of freedom pose estimate of a target object based on a one-dimensional measurement includes a camera and a range-sensing device. The range-sensing device is configured to determine an actual distance measured between the range-sensing device and an actual point of intersection. The range-sensing device projects a line-of-sight that intersects with the target object at the actual point of intersection. The system also includes one or more processors in electronic communication with the camera and the range-sensing device and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data into one or more databases and program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the system to predict the six degrees of freedom pose estimate of the target object. The system also determines a revised six degrees of freedom pose estimate of the target object based on at least an absolute error.

  • Publication number: 20240232611
    Abstract: An example includes a method for training an agent to control an aircraft. The method includes: selecting, by the agent, first actions for the aircraft to perform within a first environment respectively during first time intervals based on first states of the first environment during the first time intervals, updating the agent based on first rewards that correspond respectively to the first states, selecting, by the agent, second actions for the aircraft to perform within a second environment respectively during second time intervals based on second states of the second environment during the second time intervals, and updating the agent based on second rewards that correspond respectively to the second states. At least one first rule of the first environment is different from at least one rule of the second environment.

  • Publication number: 20140055368
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus by using touch screen to implement functions of touch screen and keypad, to increase one extra function, keypad, in a touch display. The purpose can be achieved by adding one data processor and modifying firmware of video processor. The data processor converts touch data into touch data and key data. The two data are sent out through two data interfaces. The two data flows can be thought as data from two independent devices. Besides, the two data flows can be directed to either one single system or two systems.
