Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improvement to prior art feature pyramids for general object detection that inserts a simple norm calibration (NC) operation between the feature pyramids and detection head to alleviate and balance the norm bias caused by feature pyramid network (FPN) and which leverages an enhanced multi-feature selective strategy (MS) during training to assign the ground-truth to one or more levels of the feature pyramid.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a field effect transistor (FET) having a metal gate structure, a source and a drain over a substrate is formed. A first frontside contact disposed between dummy metal gate structures is formed over an isolation insulating layer. A frontside wiring layer is formed over the first frontside contact. A part of the substrate is removed from a backside of the substrate so that a bottom of the isolation insulating layer is exposed. A first opening is formed in the isolation insulating layer from the bottom of the isolation insulating layer to expose a bottom of the first frontside contact. A first backside contact is formed by filling the first opening with a conductive material to connect the first frontside contact.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for global motion modeling. Embodiments include receiving a first image and a second image from a camera attached to a moving object. Embodiments include identifying a pixel in the first image. Embodiments include determining, based on one or more parameters associated with the camera, a vector representing a range of locations in which a real-world point corresponding to the pixel is likely to be found in the second image, wherein the parameters associated with the camera comprise: a first parameter related to a location of the camera relative to a ground surface; a second parameter related to motion of the moving object; and a third parameter related to an orientation of the camera relative to the ground surface. Embodiments include determining, using the vector, a location of the real-world point in the second image.

Abstract: An indication of a touch on a touch-enabled screen of a device is received that indicates a selection of a date facet in a listing of items. The date facet denotes a temporal indicator, other facets denote non-temporal indicators. An indication of a pinch gesture is received. The date facet is scaled to produce a scaled-facet listing. The scaling includes modifying a degree of a characteristic of the date facet in an increasing amount including producing a scaled-out listing implemented as an updated portion of item data having a different temporal indicator than an initial display of the item data by an amount proportional to a magnitude of a pinch gesture characteristic of the pinch gesture. The scaled-facet listing is displayed by exposing an updated set of the item data having the modified degree of the characteristic and replacing previous item data with the scaled-out listing.
