Abstract: A method and a system described herein provide optimizing image and/or video compression for machine perception. According to an aspect, the method comprises receiving a raw image frame from a camera sensor; detecting a predefined object in the raw image frame and marking a region around the predefined object within the raw image frame as ROI. Based on the ROI, a partitioning scheme, a prediction mode, and quantization parameter are determined for improving coding efficiency. Machine perception efficiency is improved by selecting a quantization parameter table used for compressing and encoding the raw image or video frame based on a selected machine vision task. The selection of the quantization parameter table is based on training of the selected machine vision task using cost function optimization.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and corresponding system for processing sensor data associated with a vehicle is provided. The sensor data may be compressed or encoded with a dictionary according to sparse approximation theory, resulting in a sparse representation of the sensor data. Processing may further comprise detecting an event associated with the vehicle, wherein an event may be an accident recorded by sensors of the vehicle providing the sensor data. The detection of the event may be based on processing of the sparse representation of the sensor data alone without decoding the sparse representation. The detection of the event may further employ machine learning methods trained to the detection of an event from the sparse representation of the sensor data, or a combination of sparse representations of sensor data originating from a plurality of vehicles or sensors.

Abstract: A device and computer-executable method is provided for adaptively determining a sampling scheme to be applied at a first sensor from among a plurality of sensors for sampling sensor data values corresponding to a signal. A sparsifying transform for a subsequent sampling time window of the first sensor is predicted, wherein the sparsifying transform is determined based on a predictive model of the sparsity of the signal. Moreover, a subsampling parameter for the subsequent sampling time window is determined. The subsampling parameter corresponds to a number of sensor data values to be acquired within the sampling time window. This subsampling parameter is determined based on the predicted sparsifying transform. Further determined is a compressive sampling scheme for the subsequent sampling time window of the first sensor. The compressive sampling scheme is determined based on the predicted sparsifying transform.

The frequency decomposition comprises one or more frequency components. The one or more frequency components are stored in a second database. A query is received from a client. The query specifies an event that indicates a critical signal condition of a signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for pre-processing images. In particular, image processing that is performed on images that are recorded by a camera of a vehicle. A method, system and computer-readable medium described herein provide one or more images with reduced information content. In particular, the one or more images are filtered to generate a filtered image with reduced information content before said filtered image is encoded. This may lead to a decrease in computational steps performed by an encoder when encoding the filtered image as well as to a decrease in the file size of the encoded image that needs to be stored and/or transmitted. One or more images with reduced information content are provided before encoding the filtered image by receiving an image having a plurality of pixels, determining a region of interest within the image and filtering the image to generate a filtered image with reduced information content.

Abstract: A fuze for a projectile having a firing chain has an interrupter for interruption of the firing chain. The interrupter is configured to snap from a safe position to an armed position when unlocked. A locking device is disposed to lock the interrupter in the safe position and to unlock the interrupter by way of an unlocking movement. The fuze is rendered compact and reliable in that the unlocking movement of the locking device is an axial movement.

Abstract: A fuze for a projectile has a firing assembly for firing a main charge of the projectile and a delay detonator for firing the firing assembly after a delay time which is defined by a burning distance of a delay charge. The delay detonator has a housing with a fuze half in which it is fired and a detonator half which contains a detonator charge for firing the firing assembly. In order to prevent the projectile from misfiring as a result of premature detonation of the delay detonator, the housing has a relief opening in the fuze half, with an opening cross section that can be passed through freely in the firing state of the delay detonator.

Abstract: A fuse for a projectile has a primary firing assembly and a secondary firing assembly. The secondary firing assembly, which is separated from the primary firing assembly by a barrier, has a firing relay with a relay explosive in a sleeve component and a firing booster. When using insensitive explosive for the secondary firing assembly, little energy should be lost in the relay from the primary to the secondary firing assembly, with enhanced safety against inadvertent firing in the secondary firing assembly. For that purpose, the sleeve component forms a gas-tight seal for the secondary firing assembly with respect to the primary firing assembly.
