Abstract: A dynamic image stitching system for stitching images captured by cameras of a vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle and having respective fields of view exterior the vehicle. The field of view of each side camera partially overlaps the field of view of a front camera and partially overlaps the field of view of a rear camera. Image data captured by the plurality of cameras is processed at a processor to detect an object present in an overlapping portion of the fields of view of two cameras. The processor stitches, via a stitching algorithm, image data captured by the cameras. The processor adjusts the stitching algorithm responsive to a determination of a difference between a characteristic of the feature as captured by one of the two cameras and the characteristic of the feature as captured by another of the two cameras.

Abstract: A trailer assist system for a vehicle includes a camera with a field of view encompassing a trailer hitch disposed at the vehicle. A control includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the camera that is representative of images of the trailer hitch present in the field of view of the camera. The control, responsive to processing at the control of image data captured by the camera, detects at least one feature of the trailer hitch at a Cartesian coordinate location and transforms the Cartesian coordinate location of the detected feature to a cylindrical coordinate location. The control generates a vertical segment that passes through the detected features and determines cylindrical coordinates of a ground point along the vertical segment. The control, responsive to determining the cylindrical coordinates of the ground point, determines a 3D location of the trailer hitch at the vehicle.

Abstract: A dynamic adjustment of core power can reduce thermal margin between thermal design power (TDP) and an allowable thermal load. For example, by focusing directly on the core temperatures explicitly, a per-core closed loop temperature controller (pCLTC) can remove conservatism induced by the power level 1 policy (PL1, a policy which defines frequency and/or power for the processor under sustained load) thereby allowing for increased processor performance when there exists margin in the thermal system.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing a schematic circuit design component as a transmission line model in a schematic driven extracted view for an electronic design. These techniques identify a schematic circuit component design form a schematic design of an electronic design and identify or determine layout device information of a layout circuit component design corresponding to the schematic circuit component design. An extracted view may be generated or identified for the electronic design at least by using a transmission line model based in part or in whole upon connectivity information or a hierarchical structure of the electronic design. The electronic design may then be modified or updated based in part or in whole upon results of performing one or more analyses on the extracted view with the transmission line model.

Abstract: A method of distinguishing a three dimensional object from a two dimensional object using a vehicular system includes acquiring image frames captured by a vehicle camera while the vehicle is in motion. First and second feature points are selected from a first detected object in a first captured image frame and tracked in at least a second captured image frame. Third and fourth feature points are selected from a second detected object in the first captured image frame and tracked over at least the second captured image frame. Movements of the first and second feature points over the multiple captured image frames are compared to movements of the third and fourth feature points the multiple captured image frames to distinguish the first object as a three dimensional object and the second object as a two dimensional object.

Abstract: A vehicle vision system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle and having respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle. An image processor is operable, responsive to image processing of captured image data, to synthesize captured image data to generate a reduced distortion bird's-eye view image of a region exterior and near the vehicle and encompassed by the fields of view of the cameras. A display displays the bird's-eye view image for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The image processor processes synthesized captured image data using a lane marker sensing algorithm that utilizes recursive temporal stabilization to determine lane markings in the field of view of at least the rear camera. The system determines when the vehicle is departing from its being-traveled lane and, responsive to determination that the vehicle is departing from its being-traveled lane, generates an alert to the driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular trailering assist system includes a rearward viewing camera. Responsive to processing of frames of image data captured when the vehicle is towing a trailer hitched to the vehicle, the system determines presence of the trailer and determines if the particular trailer is a trailer for which the system is calibrated. Responsive to determination that the particular trailer is not a trailer for which the system is calibrated, the system assumes an initial trailer beam length before starting a calibration drive, collects data during the calibration drive, and estimates a trailer beam length. The system iteratively estimates the trailer beam length and, when the predicted trailer angle least deviates from the current determined trailer angle, the system determines this to be the final estimated trailer beam length and uses that in determining trailer angles for that trailer during future drives with the vehicle towing that trailer.

Abstract: A vision system of a vehicle includes at least one camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle, and an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera. Responsive to image processing of captured image data, the image processor determines objects present in the field of view of the camera. The vision system processes additional frames of captured image data to enhance determination of objects of interest. The vision system initially detects an object present in the field of view of the camera and conducts hypotheses filtering and hypotheses merging and, responsive to the hypotheses merging, the system determines that the detected object is an object of interest or determines that the detected object is not an object of interest.

A method of producing an additive manufactured part is also described.

Abstract: A digital medium environment is described for automatic design discrepancy reporting of discrepancies between an actual display and its intended design. In one example, a design validation system generates a design screen model for a design screen, based on an object included in the design screen and at least one display property that defines a visual appearance of the object. The design validation system then identifies an application object that has a similar visual appearance to the defined visual appearance of the object of the design screen model. The design validation system additionally determines that a discrepancy exists between a display of the design screen model object and the application object. The design validation system also determines a value by which the at least one property of the application object is to be adjusted and outputs the value to adjust the at least one display property of the application object.

Abstract: A prefetch circuit may include a memory, each entry of which may store an address and other prefetch data used to generate prefetch requests. For each entry, there may be at least one “quality factor” (QF) that may control prefetch request generation for that entry. A global quality factor (GQF) may control generation of prefetch requests across the plurality of entries. The prefetch circuit may include one or more additional prefetch mechanisms. For example, a stride-based prefetch circuit may be included that may generate prefetch requests for strided access patterns having strides larger than a certain stride size. Another example is a spatial memory streaming (SMS)-based mechanism in which prefetch data from multiple evictions from the memory in the prefetch circuit is captured and used for SMS prefetching based on how well the prefetch data appears to match a spatial memory streaming pattern.
