  • Publication number: 20230252667
    Abstract: An approximate camera location on a route can be determined by inputting a first image acquired by a vehicle camera to a first convolutional neural network. First image feature points can be extracted from the first image using a feature extraction algorithm. Pose estimation parameters for a pose estimation algorithm can be selected based on the approximate camera location. A six degree-of-freedom (DoF) camera pose can be determined by inputting the first image feature points and second feature points included in a structure-from-motion (SfM) map based on the route to the pose estimation algorithm which is controlled by the pose estimation parameters. A six DoF vehicle pose can be determined based on the six DoF camera pose.

  • Patent number: 11722590
    Abstract: An electronic device display may have an active area with pixels. An optical sensor may be formed under a sensor region in the active area. During operation, ambient light and/or other light associated with the optical sensor may pass through the sensor region. To ensure that the light for the optical sensor can pass through the display, the display may have one or more layers with sensor openings such as a metal layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that attaches the metal layer to the pixels of the display. To help minimize visibility of the openings in the sensor region, the pressure sensitive adhesive layer may be configured to have a reflectivity that matches the appearance of the display in the sensor region to surrounding areas. Undesired light output uniformity can be reduced by ensuring that the substrate material in the display has a low light absorption coefficient.
