Patent number: 10109055Abstract: A machine vision system and method uses captured depth data to improve the identification of a target object in a cluttered scene. A 3D-based object detection and pose estimation (ODPE) process is use to determine pose information of the target object. The system uses three different segmentation processes in sequence, where each subsequent segmentation process produces larger segments, in order to produce a plurality of segment hypotheses, each of which is expected to contain a large portion of the target object in the cluttered scene. Each segmentation hypotheses is used to mask 3D point clouds of the captured depth data, and each masked region is individually submitted to the 3D-based ODPE.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Liwen Xu, Joseph Chi Tai Lam, Alex Levinshtein

Patent number: 9372234Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods detect a current sensor error in an FOC electric machine system. A voltage command is monitored to detect the presence of an ac component that indicates that an error has occurred at a current sensor. For example, a sensor fault detection module can be configured to determine the deviation between an actual voltage command and an ideal voltage command to provide a complex deviation vector. By transforming the deviation vector to a reference frame rotating at the fundamental frequency of the command voltage, a dc component of the positive and negative sequences can be filtered, and their amplitudes determined. Error detection can be based on the total amplitude of the fundamental component, determined by positive and negative component amplitudes. Sensor error detection enables an FOC system to operate with two current sensors, rather than three, and provides a dedicated fault diagnostic for a current sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLcInventors: Chang-jiang Wang, Michael Degner, Rimma Isayeva, Liwen Xu, Daniel R.
