Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for creating a three-dimensional virtual model of an environment (2) of a motor vehicle (1). The method includes capturing images of the environment (2); determining a plurality of regions (3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9) in each of the images and calculating a region entropy for each of the regions (3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9). The method then proceeds by selecting at least one region (4; 9) that has a higher region entropy than other regions (3; 5; 6; 7; 8); and generating the three-dimensional virtual model by first ascertaining three-dimensional coordinates for the selected at least one region (4; 9) and only thereafter ascertaining three-dimensional coordinates for the unselected regions (3; 5; 6; 7; 8). The three-dimensional virtual model includes the three-dimensional coordinates of all regions (3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9).

Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting a volume level in an online meeting. The method includes step a. holding an online meeting in which participants can have a conversation with one another. In step b. using an AI algorithm, monitoring and recognizing content of a conversation of the participants in the online meeting and assigning content scores to the content, wherein each participant portion of the participants is assigned a recognized sub-content in the conversation based on the content scores. In step c. using the AI algorithm, recognizing a first intersection of content scores from a plurality of sub-contents, and recognizing a second or more intersections of content scores from other multiple sub-contents. In step d. adjusting volume levels of individual participants, by raising or lowering the volume level of a participant portion for such other participants having one or no intersection with the participant portion.

Abstract: An optical sensor system (1) has plural optical lens systems (2a-2n), a single imaging optical sensor (3) and plural light guides (4a-4n) corresponding to the number of optical lens systems (2a-2n). The light guides (4a-4n) extend respectively between the lens systems (2a-2n) and the optical sensor (3). Each of the lens systems (2a-2n) is associated respectively with one of the light guides (4a-4n). A switching apparatus (5) selectively switches between the light guide means (4a-4n).
