Abstract: A method for operating an image segmentation system includes receiving image data from a sensor, detecting a vessel is present in the image data, extracting a region of interest, and classifying the image data based on the region of interest.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method schedules a plurality of tasks for execution by a processor system. A first execution model for the plurality of tasks is accessed. Data is generated that identifies which tasks in the execution model are not direct-feedthrough tasks. The data is used to determine an order for executing the tasks at least partly in dependence on whether or not each task is a direct-feedthrough task.

Abstract: A person activity recognition system (1) comprising: an image sensor (2) arranged to collect at least one image of a personal environment and generate image data (7) from the at least one image; and a processor (3) communicatively connected to the image sensor (2) to receive image data (7), and to a memory (4) and a database (5); the memory (4) including a list of detectable objects that may be present in the personal environment and corresponding results (8) relating to an activity of the person; and the processor (3) configured to execute a plurality of machine-readable instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium in the memory (4), wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor (3), cause the processor (3) to: receive the image data (7); analyse the image data (7) to detect one or more objects in the personal environment; compare the detected object(s) with the list of detectable objects; and output to the database (5) a result (8) relating to an activity of the person.

Abstract: A system for calculating weight and distribution on an aircraft. The system includes an aircraft, at least one cabin camera configured to view the cabin of the aircraft, an image collector configured to collect images from the at least one cabin camera and a processor. The processor is configured to perform the following steps: a) detecting passengers and/or hand baggage from the images collected from the image collector, b) estimating positions of the passengers and/or hand baggage from the images collected from the image collector, and c) estimating weight of the passengers and/or hand baggage from the images collected from the image collector. The processor also calculates a real-time weight distribution of the aircraft based on the estimates provided in steps a)-c).
