Abstract: A disclosed method deploys a containerized health monitoring service that includes an embedded health monitoring service script. The containerized service generates a secure shell (SSH) key pair including an SSH public key and an SSH private key. A management account of the containerized service is registered with a centralized account service. An SSH control module of a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) manager retrieves from the account service the management account of the containerized service. The control module visits the containerized service to retrieve the SSH public key and stores the SSH public key to a target resource such as a host or virtual machine to enable any instance of the containerized service to remotely execute the health monitoring service script on the target resource with an SSH command.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting errors in a client device and its associated applications while preserving the privacy of the user of the device. Methods can include obtaining and blinding contextual application data for an application on a device.

This server can provide indications that the device is trustworthy and the application is authentic, and can digitally sign the blinded data. The digital signature can be validated and the unblinded contextual application data can be obtained. If the unblinded data matches the contextual application data, the application can provide the digital signature, the indications, and the unblinded contextual application data to an error detection server, which in turn can indicate the application does not have errors.

Abstract: In various examples, sensor configuration for autonomous or semi-autonomous systems and applications is described. Systems and methods are disclosed that may use image feature correspondences between camera images along with an assumption that image features are locally planar to determine parameters for calibrating an image sensor with a LiDAR sensor and/or another image sensor. In some examples, an optimization problem is constructed that attempts to minimize a geometric loss function, where the geometric loss function encodes the notion that corresponding image features are views of a same point on a locally planar surface (e.g., a surfel or mesh) that is constructed from LiDAR data generated using a LiDAR sensor. In some examples, performing such processes to determine the calibration parameters may remove structure estimation from the optimization problem.
