  • Publication number: 20240083346
    Abstract: A gating camera divides a field of view in a depth direction into multiple slices, and generates multiple slice images that correspond to the multiple slices. An illumination apparatus emits illumination light. A camera controller controls a light emission timing of the illumination apparatus and an exposure timing of an image sensor so as to generate slice images from a near slice to a farther slice. An arithmetic processing device judges whether a road surface appears for each of the slice images generated in sequence. Processing for a row judged to include a road surface in a given slice is simplified at the time of sensing of a slice farther than the given slice.

  • Patent number: 11893983
    Abstract: An approach for improving speech recognition is provided. A processor receives a new word to add to a prefix tree. A processor determines a bonus score for a first transition from a first node to a second node in a prefix tree on condition that the first transition is included in a path of at least one transition representing the new word. A processor determines a hypothesis score for a hypothesis that corresponds to a speech sequence based on the prefix tree, where the hypothesis score adds the bonus score to an initial hypothesis score to determine the hypothesis score. In response to a determination that the hypothesis score exceeds a threshold value, a processor generates an output text sequence for the speech sequence based on the hypothesis.
