  • Publication number: 20240135551
    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing a sequence of image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first image frame of a sequence of image frames from an image capture device and select a first portion of a first image frame. The at least one processor may also be configured to obtain alignment information and determine a first portion and a second portion of a second image frame based on the alignment information. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a bounding region within the second image frame and fetch image data corresponding to the bounding region of the second image frame from memory. In some examples, the first image frame may comprise a base image and the second image frame may comprise an alternative image frame. Further, the first image frame may comprise any one of the image frames of the sequence of image frames.

  • Publication number: 20240135658
    Abstract: Generating a location-specific three-dimensional model in response to a location query can provide users with a better understanding of a location through providing better interactivity, better perspective, and better understanding of dimensionality. Generation of the models can be enabled by leveraging a three-dimensional asset database and segmentation methods. The location-specific models can provide further utility by further including situation specific simulated effects, such as simulated weather or traffic.

  • Publication number: 20240137854
    Abstract: Network nodes and methods for control thereof for dynamic network slice selection. An AMF receives a UE request originating from the UE, the UE request being any one of a registration request and a session request. A network slice requester controls a transmitter to transmit a network slice selection request to a PC_NSS. A selection data manager of the PC_NSS determines selection data specifying one or more UE specific parameters affecting network slice selection. A network slice selector selects a network slice assignable for the UE, based on the selection data, determines network slice data and a corresponding network slice routing rule, and transmits them to the AMF. A network slice manager of the AMF controls assignment of a network slice to the UE in dependence on the received network slice data and network slice routing rule.

  • Publication number: 20240119560
    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising one or more image sensors coupled to a vehicle and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to capture, in a burst sequence using the one or more image sensors, multiple frames of an image of a scene, the multiple frames having respective, relative offsets of the image across the multiple frames and perform super-resolution computations using the captured, multiple frames of the image of the scene. The at least one processor may also be configured to accumulate, based on the super-resolution computations, color planes and combine, using the one or more processors, the accumulated color planes to create a super-resolution image of the scene.

  • Publication number: 20230009256
    Abstract: An energy monitoring system for discharging energy in an energy transfer device of a vehicle, including an isolation monitoring unit, a capacitor unit, a voltage terminal unit and a control unit. The voltage terminal unit is connectable to an energy storage system and transfers energy from the energy storage system to a vehicle subsystem. The isolation monitoring unit includes a first isolation resistor element and switch element. The resistor element is connectable to the voltage terminal unit via the switch element. The capacitor unit is connected to the voltage terminal unit and filters electromagnetic interference by storing energy during energy transfer to the subsystem. The control unit closes the first isolation switch element in case of a disconnection of the energy transfer to form a discharge circuit connecting the isolation monitoring unit and the capacitor unit. The discharge circuit discharges energy stored in the capacitor unit.
