Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to image data verification. In examples, a discrete cosine transform (DCT) is performed on image data and used to generate a set of DCT coefficients. In some instances, multiple block sizes are used when processing the image data, such that a set of DCT coefficients is generated for each block size. The resulting sets of DCT coefficients for the plurality of block sizes may be processed according to an expected distribution to determine whether the content of the image data is likely to be authentic or likely to be altered, such that an indication may be provided in association with the image data accordingly.

Abstract: An occupant side-impact protection apparatus for a motor vehicle, including an inflatable cushion stored in a folded configuration and an inflator configured to provide gas to inflate the cushion. The cushion is configured to inflate to form a curtain to protect the head and upper torso of the occupant of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a tension tether, having a first end coupled at a first portion of the cushion and a second end coupled to a second portion of the cushion, to provide tension to the cushion during its unfolding. The cushion is further configured to deploy along the internal side of the vehicle, wherein the first portion of the cushion is located proximate to the rear of the cushion along an edge of the cushion that trails the remainder of the cushion as the cushion unfolds, and wherein the second portion of the cushion is located proximate to the rear of the cushion along an edge of the cushion that leads the remainder of the cushion as the cushion unfolds.
