Abstract: A sensor fusion system for an autonomous vehicle and/or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that combines measurements from multiple independent sensors to generate a better output. The multiple sensors can interact and perform “cross-training” for enhanced sensor performance. The sensor fusion system utilizes data exchange and cross-training between sensors for enhanced sensor performance while constantly improving sensor fusion results. Some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system for an autonomous vehicle and/or a vehicle ADAS that combines information from independent sensors in order to accurately distinguish environmental objects and movements. This allows the vehicle to accurately make informed navigation decisions based on the environmental surroundings.

Abstract: An augmented reality interactive system and a dynamic information interactive display method thereof are provided. The augmented reality interactive system suitable for being disposed in a transportation vehicle includes a transparent display, a motion detection unit, and a processing unit. The transparent display has a display panel pervious to light. The display panel is suitable for serving as a windshield of the vehicle, where the transparent display controls the image displayed by the display panel according to a display signal, so as to display an interactive information on the display panel. The motion detection unit detects an operation motion of a driver, so as to generate a control command. The processing unit coupled to the transparent display and the motion detection unit receives the control command, so as to generate the corresponding display signal based on the operation motion for controlling the operation of the transparent display.

Abstract: Methods, computers, and computer program products for detecting the presence of a probe within a sample overlayed on a substrate are provided. The probe comprises a plurality of spatially arranged labels. A data storage module stores a plurality of light images, where each light image has light from the sample at a corresponding wavelength range in a plurality of different wavelength ranges. A label identification module identifies a plurality of labels in the plurality of light images that are proximate to each other on the substrate. A spatial order of the plurality of labels determines a string sequence of the plurality of labels. A probe identification module determines whether the string sequence of the plurality of labels comprises a valid reporter sequence.

Abstract: A method for controlling congestion for real-time video transmission in a wireless network includes receiving a packet loss rate of a video camera in a wireless network, receiving an estimated maximum throughput of the video camera from the camera to a server, decrementing a bit transmission rate when the packet loss rate is greater than a first predetermined threshold, incrementing the bit transmission rate when the packet loss rate is less than a second predetermined threshold for a predetermined time period, and transmitting the bit transmission rate to a video encoder that is part of an application layer of a network communication protocol for the wireless network.

Abstract: As millions of computers sold every year into the consumer and corporate market and over hundreds of millions of PCs connected to the Internet, whose users and exchanged data grew by orders of magnitude in last 5 years. Even though traditional telephone and mobile phone will still provide effective point-to-point audio-only communications, it will be PCs (desktops and laptops) and handheld devices in the near future that provide real-time multipoint multimedia communication over the emerging IP network. In addition to the exchange of audio/video and textchat data from distance sites, more and more services allow joint viewing and annotating of documents, which bear different kinds of formats varying from PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Postscript, Text, and various image formats (bitmap, gif, and jpeg). This calls for a new development effort by HomeMeeting to design and implement a new unified document converter for real-time meeting/conferencing applications.

Abstract: HomeMeeting Inc. provides complete Internet service (www.homemeeting.com) for multipoint multimedia IP-communication network. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt of fully Internet-based interactive multipoint multimedia WAN communication service with enhanced quality of service (QoS) and a complete suite of presentation/discussion functionalities over narrowband (as low as 26.4 Kbps) connections. Every registered member of this service can sign into the Member Meeting Center from HomeMeeting's website, schedule meeting, invite meeting participants, and pre-upload documents for online discussion.
