  • Patent number: 11663832
    Abstract: A method for detecting objects and labeling the objects with distances in an image includes steps of: obtaining a thermal image from a thermal camera, an RGB image from an RGB camera, and radar information from an mmWave radar; adjusting the thermal image based on the RGB image to generate an adjusted thermal image, and generating a fused image based on the RGB image and the adjusted thermal image; generating a second fused image based on the fused image and the radar information; detecting objects in the images, and generating, based on the fused image, another fused image including bounding boxes marking the objects; and determining motion parameters of the objects.

  • Patent number: 10769421
    Abstract: A method for performing pedestrian detection with aid of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is provided. The method includes: obtaining 3-dimensional (3D) point cloud data through the LIDAR; performing ground separation processing on the 3D point cloud data to remove ground information; performing object extraction processing on the 3D point cloud data to obtain 3D point cloud chart that includes pedestrian candidate point cloud group; performing 2-dimensional (2D) mapping processing on the 3D point cloud chart to obtain 2D chart; and extracting 3D feature and 2D feature from the 3D point cloud chart and the 2D chart, respectively, and utilizing the 3D feature and the 2D feature to determine location of the pedestrian. According to the method, image data obtained by the LIDAR may be enhanced, the method may distinguish between pedestrian far away and environment blocks, and pedestrian recognition in nighttime or in bad weather may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20180096443
    Abstract: The invention provides an online bargaining system, which includes an online bargaining platform for allowing a client to send a bargaining service request on goods for sale in a near-end physical store to a cloud server, such that the cloud server may interact with the client through the online bargaining platform to process the bargaining service request. The invention further provides an online goods promotion system for allowing the client to interact with the cloud server through an online goods promotion platform and take part in goods promotions in the near-end physical store. The invention allows consumers when shopping in a physical store to have online interactions of real-time price bargaining and promotions on goods for sale with a business owning the physical store, making the physical store become a competitive advantage for both the business and consumers. The invention may further combine reality games with goods promotions and thus bring more fun when the consumers interact with the store.
