  • Publication number: 20210263525
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a combined machine learned (ML) model that may generate a track confidence metric associated with a track and/or a classification of an object. Techniques may include obtaining a track. The track, which may include object detections from one or more sensor data types and/or pipelines, may be input into a machine-learning (ML) model. The model may output a track confidence metric and a classification. In some examples, if the track confidence metric does not satisfy a threshold, the ML model may cause the suppression of the output of the track to a planning component of an autonomous vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210237761
    Abstract: Tracking a current and/or previous position, velocity, acceleration, and/or heading of an object using sensor data may comprise determining whether to associate a current object detection generated from recently received (e.g., current) sensor data with a previous object detection generated from formerly received sensor data. In other words, a track may identify that an object detected in former sensor data is the same object detected in current sensor data. However, multiple types of sensor data may be used to detect objects and some objects may not be detected by different sensor types or may be detected differently, which may confound attempts to track an object. An ML model may be trained to receive outputs associated with different sensor types and/or a track associated with an object, and determine a data structure comprising a region of interest, object classification, and/or a pose associated with the object.

  • Patent number: 11059023
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an acid-resistant Zr-metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) material with selective adsorption of hexavalent chromium, which is specifically a method for preparing a MOF material with selective adsorption of hexavalent chromium. The present invention aims to solve the technical problems that the existing MOFs have poor water stability, is unstable in an aqueous solution, and therefore may structurally collapse. In addition, the micropore characteristics of most MOFs have affected the mass transfer rate of the adsorbate, which in turn limits the industrial application thereof. The MOF of the present invention has excellent water stability and acid resistance, showing a strong adaptability and great potential in treating mostly acidic industrial wastewater.
