  • Publication number: 20240127536
    Abstract: A process and arrangement automatically generate a floor plan of a building. A set of voxels in the form of polyhedrons is computationally generated and together fill the floor space. The edges of the polyhedron are parallel to the axes of a specified three-dimensional coordinate system. A camera (IR) is moved through the story and generates a sequence of images. The respective position and orientation of the camera (IR) while generating an image are measured. Characteristic key points (S1?, S2?, . . . ) are determined and positioned in the coordinate system. Free voxels (Vx, Vy), i.e. voxels inside a room, are determined. At least one cluster, including a topologically connected set of free voxels, is generated. An enveloping body is placed around each determined cluster. Each enveloping body describes the respective boundaries (W, F) of a room (R.x) of the story.

  • Patent number: 11954894
    Abstract: A system for determining blockage of a vehicle camera is configured to apply a partition grid having a plurality of locations to a sequence of images to form a plurality of regions. The system determines at least one spatial feature corresponding to the partition grid and at least one temporal feature corresponding to the partition grid. The system generates a sequence of classifications for each location of the plurality of locations based on the at least one spatial feature, the at least one temporal feature, and reference information. The system applies a smoothing technique to determine a subset of regions that are blocked among the sequence of classifications, and generates an output signal based on the subset of regions. The output may be provided to an output system to wash the camera lens, notify the user or the vehicle of the blockage, or modify image processing.

  • Publication number: 20240036946
    Abstract: Embodiments may facilitate event processing for an ABAP platform. A business object data store may include a RAP model, including a behavior definition, for a business object. A framework may automatically transform the behavior definition of the RAP model into a producer event vian event binding and a cloud event standardized format. Information about the producer event may then be passed to an ABAP application associated with a pre-configured destination at an enterprise business technology platform. In some embodiments, a standalone API enterprise hub data store may contain an event specification. An ABAP development tenant of a business technology platform may automatically parse the event specification and translate the parsed information into high-level programming language structures that reflect an event type at runtime. An event consumption model may then be generated based on the event type.
