Abstract: A system generates augmented reality content by generating an occlusion mask via implicit depth estimation. The system receives input image(s) of a real-world environment captured by a camera assembly. The system generates a feature map from the input image(s), wherein the feature map comprises abstract features representing depth of object(s) in the real-world environment. The system generates an occlusion mask from the feature map and a depth map for the virtual object. The depth map for the virtual object indicates a depth of each pixel of the virtual object. The occlusion mask indicates pixel(s) of the virtual object that are occluded by an object in the real-world environment. The system generates the composite image based on a first input image at a current timestamp, the virtual object, and the occlusion mask. The composite image may then displayed on an electronic display.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an inspection system for illumination of optical devices. The inspection system includes a stage, a focusing lens, a light source, a reflective surface, and a camera. The inspection system is operable to provide a light to a substrate. The substrate is positioned on the inspection system such that an edge of the substrate is exposed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for servicing vehicle messages utilizing a common communications infrastructure are provided. A method includes obtaining, by a vehicle computing system onboard an autonomous vehicle, a message including a cryptographic signature and contextual information, a request, or a command. The method includes determining an originating sender associated with the message based on the cryptographic signature and determining a message privilege for the message based on the originating sender. The originating sender is a process that generated the message. The method includes determining a response for the contextual information, the request, or the command based on the message privilege. The response is indicative of an acceptance or rejection of contextual information, an assignment of computing resources to a request, or an acceptance or rejection of a command. The method includes performing a vehicle action based on the response.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling two or more vehicles travelling in formation. Selected vehicles may be fully or partially autonomously controlled; at least one vehicle is partially controlled by a human driver. Information is collected at each vehicle and from the drivers and it is shared with other vehicles and drivers to create a shared world model. Aspects of the shared world model may be presented to the human driver, who may then respond with a control input. Autonomy systems and the drivers on the vehicles then collaborate to make a collective decision to act or not to act and execute any such action in a coordinated manner.
