  • Patent number: 12243287
    Abstract: An image analysis device (BA) is configured to recognize imaged objects. A plurality of training images (TPIC) assigned to an object type (OT) and an object sub-type (OST) are fed into a first neural network module (CNN) to detect image features. Training output data sets (FEA) of the first neural network module are fed into a second neural network module (MLP) to detect object types using the detected image features. For each object type: training images assigned to the object type (OT1, OT2) are fed into the trained first neural network module, the first neural network module training output data set (FEA1, FEA2) generated for the respective training image is assigned to the object sub-type (OST) of the respective training image, and by means of the aforementioned sub-type assignments, a sub-type detection module (BMLP1, BMLP2) is configured to detect object sub-types.

  • Patent number: 11642984
    Abstract: A seat attachment system for a mass transit vehicle including a rail, a fastener and a seat interface. The rail, which is adapted to be secured to a chassis of the mass transit vehicle, has a longitudinal T-slot adapted to receive the fastener. The rail has two non-parallel sets of corrugations on its external face. The seat interface, which is adapted to be mounted to a seat frame, is also provided with two non-parallel sets of corrugations whose angle matches that of the sets of corrugations on the rail. The sets of corrugations are adapted to cooperate and interlock in pairs so as to respectively locate the seat interface, and thereby a seat to which it is attached, vertically and horizontally upon the fastener being tightened.
