Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for overlaying content on video streams. In one aspect, a category of a video is identified. Confidence scores are determined that each indicate a likelihood that a location in a frame includes a feature of a feature type. A weight for each feature type is determined, based on the category, that reflects an importance of not occluding features of the feature type. Confidence scores are adjusted, for each feature type, based on the weight for the feature type, to generate adjusted confidence scores. The adjusted confidence scores are aggregated for each location for each frame to generate aggregated and adjusted confidence scores. A location at which to position overlaid content during video display is determined based on the aggregated and adjusted confidence scores. The overlaid content is provided for display at the determined location in the video.

Abstract: A system is provided for training an inferential model based on selected training vectors. During operation, the system receives training data comprising observations for a set of time-series signals gathered from sensors in a monitored system during normal fault-free operation. Next, the system divides the observations into N subgroups comprising non-overlapping time windows of observations. The system then selects observations with a local minimum value and a local maximum value for all signals from each subgroup to be training vectors for the inferential model. Finally, the system trains the inferential model using the selected training vectors. Note that by selecting observations with local minimum and maximum values to be training vectors, the system maximizes an operational range for the training vectors, which reduces clipping in estimates subsequently produced by the inferential model and thereby reduces false alarms.

Abstract: This application is directed to matching edges of polygons representing neighboring regions in a map user application. A computer system obtains a first polygon and a second polygon, and the second polygon is connected to the first polygon via polygon edges that are at least partially mismatched. Automatically and without user intervention, the computer system combines the first polygon and the second polygon to form a joined polygon defined by an outline of the first polygon and the second polygon. A region defined by the second polygon is subtracted from a region defined by the joined polygon to form a new region. The computer system defines an updated first polygon as an outline of the new region and renders, on a screen, the updated first polygon and the second polygon with matching edges.
