  • Publication number: 20210390798
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining whether or not a crash involving a vehicle has occurred. A computing device may receive acceleration measurement(s) measured by one or more accelerometers during a time window. The computing device may determine, for one or more acceleration measurements, a corresponding acceleration magnitude. Based on the corresponding acceleration magnitude(s), the computing device may identify, from the acceleration measurement(s), an acceleration measurement and/or may determine whether the acceleration magnitude exceeds a threshold acceleration magnitude. The computing device may corroborate whether a vehicle associated with the mobile computing device was involved in a crash. Data associated with the acceleration magnitude and/or an event, such as a crash event, may be transmitted to a server.

  • Publication number: 20210287530
    Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention can obtain and use a variety of telematics and other data to predict potential claim or accident outcomes arising from a variety of incidents, such as automobile accidents. The claim or accident outcomes, such as parts of the vehicle damaged, accident category, expected liabilities, and many others, can be predicted based on the telematics and other data, such as accelerometer data, heading data, location/GPS, barometer, gyroscope, magnetometer data, and the like. The machine learning classifiers that can be generated are trained on historical data, consisting of claims, telematics, and/or other relevant data. In a variety of embodiments, the telematics data can be captured using a telematics device installed in the vehicle and/or via a mobile device associated with the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20120062587
    Abstract: Methods for gamut mapping and boosting a color saturation of a color signal having multiple colors and a color value for each color. An example method includes mapping each color from a first to a second color space, adjusting each color in the mapped color signal including boosting a color saturation; determining a maximum color value of the color signal; and, in response to a determining that the maximum color value exceeds a maximum displayable color value, setting the color value of the color having the maximum color value to be equal to the maximum displayable color value and scaling color values of colors not having the maximum color value.

  • Patent number: 8063911
    Abstract: A system and method for gamut mapping out-of-gamut signals. A method includes adjusting each color in a color signal, determining a maximum color value of the color signal, in response to a determining that the maximum color value exceeds a maximum displayable color value, scaling color values of colors not having the maximum color value, and setting the color value of the color having the maximum color value to be equal to the maximum displayable color value. The method further includes leaving the color values of the colors in the color signal unchanged in response to a determining that the maximum color value does not exceed the maximum displayable color value. The scaling of color values not equal to the maximum color value results in a maintaining of a proper hue of the color signal, thereby not introducing color artifacts and other forms of color noise.
