    Abstract: A camera monitor system includes a camera arm that has a camera with an image capture unit that is configured to capture an image of a desired field of view. A display is configured to display the desired field of view, and an IR LED illuminates at least a portion of the desired field of view. A controller is in communication with the image capture unit and the IR LED and select at least first and second regions of interest (ROI) from the captured image. The first ROI is indicative of an amount of ambient light. The controller determines a luminance of each of said first and second ROIs.

  • Patent number: 12326810
    Abstract: A performance monitor provides cache miss stall and memory bandwidth usage metric samples to a resource exhaustion detector. The detector can detect the presence of last-level cache and memory bandwidth exhaustion conditions based on the metric samples. If cache miss stalls and memory bandwidth usage are both trending up, the detector reports a memory bandwidth exhaustion condition to a resource controller. If cache miss stalls are trending up and memory bandwidth usage is trending down, the detector reports a last-level cache exhaustion condition to the resource controller. The resource controller can allocate additional last-level cache or memory bandwidth to the processor unit to remediate the resource exhaustion condition. If bandwidth-related metric samples indicate that a processor unit may be overloaded due to receiving high bandwidth traffic, the resource controller can take a traffic rebalancing remedial action.

  • Patent number: 12260562
    Abstract: A method for tracking a trailer end in an image using a controller includes receiving an image from at least one camera, identifying a trailer end in the image and tracking a motion of the trailer end through the image for a period of time using a controller. A motion model is generated based on the motion of the trailer end through the image using the controller. The controller responds to the trailer end exiting the image by maintaining motion of the trailer end per the motion model for a delay time period and establishing an estimated trailer end position dictated by the motion model at the end of the delay time period in response to the time period elapsing and the trailer end not being visible using the controller.
