  • Publication number: 20250037298
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating simulation data based on real-world dynamic objects are provided. A method includes obtaining two- and three-dimensional data descriptive of a dynamic object in the real world. The two- and three-dimensional information can be provided as an input to a machine-learned model to receive object model parameters descriptive of a pose and shape modification with respect to a three-dimensional template object model. The parameters can represent a three-dimensional dynamic object model indicative of an object pose and an object shape for the dynamic object. The method can be repeated on sequential two- and three-dimensional information to generate a sequence of object model parameters over time. Portions of a sequence of parameters can be stored as simulation data descriptive of a simulated trajectory of a unique dynamic object. The parameters can be evaluated by an objective function to refine the parameters and train the machine-learned model.

  • Patent number: 12211226
    Abstract: A method for rapidly calculating intersection over union (IOU) between a target region and a designated region in an image is used in an electronic device. The electronic device detects a target object from an image received from a monitored location, and determines a designated region, a target region, and a combined region from the image, the target region including the target object. The electronic device calculates a first area of the designated region, a second area of the target region, and a third area of the combined region, and calculates a value of IOU according to formula of SIOU=(S1+S2?S3)/S2. S1 represents the first area, S2 represents the second area, and S3 represents the third area. The electronic device issues an intrusion warning in or concerning a monitored region according to a comparison result between the value of IOU and a preset threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250002050
    Abstract: Techniques for improving the performance of an autonomous vehicle (AV) by automatically annotating objects surrounding the AV are described herein. A system can obtain sensor data from a sensor coupled to the AV and generate an initial object trajectory for an object using the sensor data. Additionally, the system can determine a fixed value for the object size of the object based on the initial object trajectory. Moreover, the system can generate an updated initial object trajectory, wherein the object size corresponds to the fixed value. Furthermore, the system can determine, based on the sensor data and the updated initial object trajectory, a refined object trajectory. Subsequently, the system can generate a multi-dimensional label for the object based on the refined object trajectory. A motion plan for controlling the AV can be generated based on the multi-dimensional label.

  • Patent number: 12180710
    Abstract: A multi-layer cap shingle for installation along a ridge, hip, or rake of a roof includes a forward exposure area and a rear headlap area. The multi-layer cap shingle includes at least two layers of shingle material, a top layer and a bottom layer each having opposed edges. The layers are bonded together with patches of lamination adhesive adjacent their opposed edges. The bottom layer is configured with a deformation-absorbing mechanism such as a pair of slots extending from a forward edge rearwardly inboard of the lamination adhesive patches. When the multi-layer cap shingle is bent over a roof ridge, the slots of the bottom layer of shingle material narrow in width to account for the fact that the bottom layer must bend around an arc of slightly smaller radius than the top layer of shingle material.

  • Publication number: 20240370260
    Abstract: In various examples, constant memory segmentation for autonomous systems and applications is described herein. Systems and methods are disclosed that partition a constant memory into a number of segments. In some examples, the constant memory is partitioned into equally sized segments while, in some examples, the constant memory is partitioned into varying sized segments. The systems and methods may then use the segments in order to store only a portion(s) of the data from the constant memory in a cache memory (e.g., an on-chip cache). For instance, if an application(s) (e.g., a kernel(s) executing a portion of the application) uses only a portion(s) of the data from the constant memory, then the segments may be used to store the portion(s) of the data from the constant memory in the cache memory without storing another portion(s) of the data from the constant memory in the cache memory.
