  • Publication number: 20220164933
    Abstract: A method for processing images comprising: capturing a plurality of degraded images of a first real-world environment with a first sensor; processing each degraded image with a first, untrained convolutional neural network, via a Deep Image Prior approach, to obtain a plurality of clean images, wherein each clean image corresponds to a degraded image; pairing each clean image with its corresponding degraded image to create a plurality of degraded/clean image pairs; training, via a supervised learning approach, a machine learning model to learn a function for converting degraded images into restored images based on the plurality of degraded/clean image pairs; capturing a second plurality of degraded images of a second real-world environment; and using the trained machine learning model to convert the second plurality of degraded images into restored images based on the learned function.

  • Patent number: 11325041
    Abstract: A codeless video game method may include receiving an arbitrary game image previously unknown to the computer system and containing object images, each object image corresponding to a game element of the video game, each game element associated with at least one property, and associating automatically each object image with a respective game element that corresponds thereto by identifying automatically, in the game image, each object image. Then a program of instructions is generated that is executable by the computer system, which defines behavior of game elements in the video game according to the at least one property associated with the game elements. During a playing of the video game, the program of instructions causes each game element to be represented in the display by the object image, which may be substantially identical to the game object images that were input as part of the overall game image.

  • Patent number: 11314321
    Abstract: One disclosed example provides a head-mounted device configured to control a plurality of light sources of a handheld object and acquire image data comprising a sequence of environmental tracking exposures in which the plurality of light sources are controlled to have a lower integrated intensity and handheld object tracking exposures in which the plurality of light sources are controlled to have a higher integrated intensity. The instructions are further executable to detect, via an environmental tracking exposure, one or more features of the surrounding environment, determine a pose of the head-mounted device based upon the one or more features of the surrounding environment detected, detect via a handheld object tracking exposure the plurality of light sources of the handheld object, determine a pose of the handheld object relative to the head-mounted device based upon the plurality of light sources detected, and output the pose of the handheld object.

  • Publication number: 20220106121
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for controlling an automated warehouse or order fulfillment facility. The system includes a sequencing tower, which functions as a buffer for inbound items and shipping containers, and various pick/decant workstations which are connected between the sequencing tower and an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS). The sequencing tower is adapted for receiving, storing, and releasing newly erected shipping containers and inbound vendor cases. The pick/decant workstations function as a hub between the sequencing tower and the ASRS, where operators at the pick/decant workstations pick order items to shipping containers to fulfil orders or pick inbound/vendor items to inventory containers to be stored in the ASRS. The system and methods synchronize the sequencing tower and ASRS to release items to arrive at the workstations simultaneously to optimize efficiency and throughput of the facility.

  • Publication number: 20220108135
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for performing a machine learning operation using storage element pointers. An example computer readable medium comprises instructions that when executed, cause at least one processor to select, in response to a determination that a machine learning operation is to be performed, create first and second storage element pointers based on a type of machine learning operation to be performed, remap input tensor data of the input tensor based on the first storage element pointer without movement of the input tensor data in memory, cause execution of the machine learning operation with the remapped input tensor data to create intermediate tensor data, remap the intermediate tensor data based on the second storage element pointer without movement of the intermediate tensor data in memory, and provide the remapped intermediate tensor data as an output tensor.

  • Publication number: 20220067653
    Abstract: Systems and methods that employ an autonomous robotic vehicle (ARV) alone or in combination with a remote computing device during the installation of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) in a facility are discussed. The ARV may detect pre-existing product information from paper labels located on modular units prior to their removal and then detect the location of electronic shelf labels (ESLs) after installation. Pre-existing product information gleaned from the paper labels is associated with the corresponding ESLs. The ARV may also determine compliance or non-compliance of modular units to which an ESL is affixed with a planogram of the facility.
