Abstract: A road sign interpretation system includes a front-facing camera mounted on or in a vehicle collecting image data of multiple road signs. A first convolutional neural network (CNN) receives the image data from the front-facing camera and yields a set of sign predictions including one or more sign text instances. A second CNN defining a text extractor receives the image data from the front-facing camera and extracts text candidates including the multiple sign text instances. Sign and sign data localization is provided in the second CNN to compute a text order from the multiple sign text instances. A sign text synthesizer module receives individual sign text instances from the first CNN and individual ones of the sign text instances in digitized forms from an optical character recognizer (OCR). A semantic encoding and interpretation module receives the sign text instances and identifies semantics of the multiple road signs.

Abstract: The present embodiment disclose apparatus and methods for allowing users to quick-release of weights from a cylindrical bar with the release of a push-button, said coupled locking pin releases open the latch to be removed from the bar, thereby allowing release of at least one weight from at least one end of the opposable ends of the bar. Other embodiments include an attachable quick-release of weights apparatus for a cylindrical bar with opposable ends. In yet other embodiments, an object of the claimed invention to provide for an integrated quick-release of weights apparatus for a cylindrical bar with opposable ends.
