Abstract: In various examples, automatic labeling of sensor representations for machine learning systems and applications. Systems and methods described herein may receive inputs for labeling one or more sensor representations of sensor data that represent objects or features, and then use those labels to automatically label additional sensor representations that also represent the same objects or features. For instance, and for an object, a user interface may include at least a map indicating a trajectory of the object, one or more sensor representations which represent the object, and a timeline indicating a time period for which the object was detected. A user may then use the user interface to label the object, such as with a bounding shape indicating a location of the object and/or with one or more attributes describing the object.

Abstract: In various examples, evaluating labeled training data for machine learning systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods described herein may determine whether labels for training data are accurate based at least on additional labels for the training data that represent a consensus of how the training data should be labeled. For instance, sensor representations (e.g., images, point clouds, etc.) may initially be labeled using one or more automatic techniques (e.g., one or more machine learning models, one or more neural networks, one or more algorithms, etc.) and then verified and/or updated by users to generate first labels for the sensor representations. Additionally, copies of the sensor representations may also be labeled using additional users to generate second labels, where these second labels are then used to generate the consensus labels for the sensor representations. The consensus labels may then be used to evaluate the first labels.

Abstract: A beacon with a preferably anodized aluminum body, cylindrical in shape, and threaded. The exact diameter and thread size of a water catcher cap is defined by the accompanying MWIR/LWIR beacon it threads onto. The accompanying component male thread allows the water catching cover to be threaded down completely for when the MWIR/LWIR beacon is powered on, thus creating an IR iris for the beacon emission, also while cooling the MWIR/LWIR beacon by being able to capture water within its open space cavity between the accompanying component and the water catching cover wall. Further in a wet environment, the open nature of the water catching cover permits rapid quenching by ambient water and refill of water catcher. Alternatively, when thread in the upmost position it protects the accompanying MWIR/LWIR beacon point of emission.

Abstract: In various examples, feature location identification for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods are disclosed that use LiDAR data to determine locations of road markings within an environment. For instance, the LiDAR data may be used to generate one or more images, such as a top-down image, birds-eye-view (BEV) image, and/or an intensity image, representing the environment. The image(s) may then be processed using one or more machine learning models that are configured to determine information associated with the road markings, such as bounding shapes (e.g., bounding boxes) indicating the locations of the road markings within the image(s), classifications associated with the road markings (e.g., the types of road markings), and/or any other information. The information may then be used to perform one or more processes, such as updating a map of the environment and/or navigating a vehicle within the environment.

Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to using neural networks for object detection or instance/semantic segmentation for, without limitation, autonomous or semi-autonomous systems and applications. In some implementations, one or more neural networks receive an image (or other sensor data representation) and a bounding shape corresponding to at least a portion of an object in the image. The bounding shape can include or be labeled with an identifier, class, and/or category of the object. The neural network can determine a mask for the object based at least on processing the image and the bounding shape. The mask can be used for various applications, such as annotating masks for vehicle or machine perception and navigation processes.

Abstract: A cyber threat intelligence infrastructure allows processing of network data to enrich captured data with data from different sources to identify possible and/or actual cyber threats.

Abstract: An iris cap for a beacon is cylindrical in shape with defined wall length to create such an iris for the intended application. One application for example, an axicon will create defined output angle of emission dependent on the source emitter’s output angle and the axicon angle. Given the cost and difficulty of reproducing several MWIR/LWIR beacons for specific applications of maximum positive output angle, the Iris Cap introduces a simple solution. The Iris Cap can create specific maximum angles to reduce risk of over exposure of the beacon, simply by attaching the Iris Cap to the location of the emission with a countersunk screw.

Abstract: Systems and methods automatically define relationships in a social networking environment. A discussion thread of a social networking environment is monitored for comments. When a comment is received to the discussion thread from a first user of the social networking environment, a relationship of the social networking environment is automatically defined between the first user and a second user associated with the discussion thread based on the receipt of the first comment from the first user. The automatically-defined relationship information is used to format news feeds with updates regarding activities taken in the social networking environment by related users.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing access to an information stream in a format customized for a receiving device involve a network-based information storage and distribution system for receiving, storing, and distributing an information stream to a user of the information stream over a network. The system receives media files and converts the media files into multiple formats. When a user attempts to access the media files, such as by browsing a site containing the media files or clicking on a link to the media files, a determination is made as to the type of device attempting to access the files. A database of devices and what file formats, resolutions, codecs, etc., they support is consulted to select a file format suitable for that device. Then, the selected media files are displayed or made available for download or transmission to the user's device in a format compatible with the particular device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving and processing a subscription request by e-mail to an information stream. The systems and methods involve a network-based information storage and distribution system for receiving, storing, and distributing an information stream to a subscriber of the information stream over a network. The system receives an e-mail subscription request from a subscriber seeking to subscribe to an information stream, where the e-mail subscription request includes stream-identifying information identifying the information stream to which the subscriber wishes to subscribe; and an e-mail address for the subscriber, which may simply be determined by way of examining the return e-mail address of the e-mail sender from the e-mail. The e-mail is used to determine which information stream is to be subscribed to from the stream-identifying information, and the subscriber's e-mail address is used to provide access to the information stream to the subscriber.

Abstract: A media player for playing files of different formats on demand using a plurality of renderer components appropriate for the different formats for a network-connected computer system or electronic device having a visual display includes a media player shell having a viewable stage area displayed on the visual display for playing media and for displaying any controls for controlling playing of media. The shell determines file formats of files to be played by the media player and downloads renderer components capable of playing the file formats. Each renderer component is downloaded by the shell on demand and displayed on the stage area, where it is used to play the file. When more than one file is to be played by the player, the shell determines this fact first downloads a document chooser to be displayed in the stage area for selecting files for playing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing access to an information stream in a format customized for a receiving device involve a network-based information storage and distribution system for receiving, storing, and distributing an information stream to a user of the information stream over a network. When a user attempts to access the media files, such as by browsing a site containing the media files or clicking on a link to the media files, a determination is made as to the type of device attempting to access the files. If the device is unknown to the system, a trial-and-error method is used to update a database of devices and what file formats, resolutions, codecs, etc., they support. Then, the selected media files are displayed or made available for download or transmission to the user's device in a format compatible with the particular device, and future access attempts by that type of device are facilitated.

Abstract: Biological anomalies are detected and/or predicted by analyzing input biological or physical data using a data processing routine. The data processing routine includes a set of application parameters associated with biological data correlating with the biological anomalies. The data processing routine uses an algorithm to produce a data series, e.g., a PD2i data series. The data series is used to detect or predict the onset of the biological anomalies. To reduce noise in the data series, the slope is set to a predetermined number if it is less than a predetermined value. To further reduce noise, a noise interval within the data series is determined and, if the noise interval is within a predetermined range, the data series is divided by another predetermined number, and new values are produced for the data series.
