Abstract: According to embodiments of the disclosure, a method, an apparatus, a device, and a storage medium for visual processing are provided. A method includes: converting a plurality of image blocks divided from visual data into a plurality of embedding representations respectively, where the visual data includes an image or a video; extracting, by using a first processing block in a trained visual encoder, first feature information from the plurality of embedding representations according to a first attention mechanism; extracting, by using a second processing block in the visual encoder, second feature information from the first feature information according to a second attention mechanism; and generating, by using a tokenizer in the visual encoder, an encoding representation corresponding to the visual data based on the second feature information. In this manner, the encoding efficiency can be improved, and better universality and scalability can be achieved.

Abstract: Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and methods of use are described. The HVAC system includes at least one internal surface temperature sensor configured to provide an interior wall surface temperature measurement. The internal surface temperature sensor is positioned on an interior surface of an external wall of the residential house. The HVAC system also includes a control system in communication over a network with the internal surface temperature sensor. The control system is configured to obtain the interior wall surface temperature measurement and apply a home heat transfer model to determine a predicted space air temperature. The home heat transfer model is based on thermal dynamics of space air and building structure using the interior wall surface temperature measurement.
