  • Publication number: 20240094029
    Abstract: Techniques for representing a scene or map based on statistical data of captured environmental data are discussed herein. In some cases, the data (such as covariance data, mean data, or the like) may be stored as a multi-resolution voxel space that includes a plurality of semantic layers. In some instances, individual semantic layers may include multiple voxel grids having differing resolutions. Multiple multi-resolution voxel spaces may be merged or aligned to generate combined scenes based on detected voxel covariances at one or more resolutions.

  • Patent number: 11707984
    Abstract: A circuit device 100 includes an error detection circuit 110 and a processing circuit 120. The error detection circuit 110 obtains a glare index value, which is an index value indicating glare of a head-up display, based on image data IMD for head-up display. The error detection circuit 110 determines whether or not a glare index value has exceeded a first threshold value, and when the glare index value exceeds the first threshold value, detects occurrence of a first glare error. When occurrence of a first glare error is detected, the processing circuit 120 performs processing corresponding to the first glare error.

  • Publication number: 20230047592
    Abstract: In some examples, a material removal system may control movement of a material removal machine based on whether a material removal tool is in contact with a sample. A material removal system may include a material removal machine (e.g., saw, grinder, polisher, and/or more general material preparation and/or testing machine) that is configured to move at the urging of one or more actuators. The system may further include control circuitry configured to control movement (and/or speed, acceleration, etc.) of the material removal machine (e.g., via the actuators) based on one or more power, thermal, position, and/or other parameters that indicate whether the material removal tool of the material removal machine is in contact with a sample.

  • Publication number: 20220392380
    Abstract: A circuit device includes a storing section configured to store a rendering image and a warp processing section. The warp processing section includes a coordinate converting section, a coordinate-address converting section, and an output section. The coordinate converting section converts, with coordinate conversion based on warp parameters and rotation correction parameters, an output coordinate, which is a coordinate on a display image, into an input coordinate, which is a coordinate on the rendering image. The coordinate-address converting section converts the input coordinate into a read address of the storing section. The output section reads out pixel data of the rendering image from the read address of the storing section and outputs, based on the read-out pixel data, pixel data in the output coordinate of the display image.

  • Patent number: 11055833
    Abstract: Provided is a circuit device that can appropriately detect an error in a display image in a head up display, an electronic apparatus, an error detection method, and the like. The circuit device includes an image processing circuit and a comparison circuit. The image processing circuit performs first mapping processing, which maps an input first image on a second image to be projected onto a projection target object, and second mapping processing, which converts the second image to a third image. The second mapping processing is reverse mapping processing of the first mapping processing. The comparison circuit performs comparison between the first image and the third image, and outputs the result of comparison as information for performing error detection on the second image.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing access to virtual storage systems is provided. A listening socket is configured for an application for detecting communication for a plurality of virtual storage systems presented by a clustered storage system having a plurality of nodes. A packet is received at a node of the clustered storage system from a client system for a virtual storage system from among the plurality of virtual storage systems. An identifier for the virtual storage system for which the packet is destined is determined. A connection socket is cloned for the virtual storage system such that any other packet for a same connection and for the virtual storage system can be forwarded to the virtual storage system. Thereafter, the packet is processed by the application on behalf of the virtual storage system.
