  • Publication number: 20240005607
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating three-dimensional models of objects from one or more images or frames. For example, at least one frame of an object in a scene can be obtained. A portion of the object is positioned on a plane in the at least one frame. The plane can be detected in the at least one frame and, based on the detected plane, the object can be segmented from the plane in the at least one frame. A three-dimensional (3D) model of the object can be generated based on segmenting the object from the plane. A refined mesh can be generated for a portion of the 3D model corresponding to the portion of the object positioned on the plane.

  • Publication number: 20240005987
    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device initiates a program operation including application of a set of programming pulses to a wordline associated with one or more memory cells of a memory array to be programmed to a set of programming levels, where each programming level of the set of programming levels is programmed by each programming pulse. The control logic determines that a program voltage of a programming pulse of the set of programming pulses reaches a maximum program voltage level. In response to the determining, during a subsequent programming pulse following the programming pulse, adjusting a first voltage associated with boosting a pillar voltage, a second voltage applied to a bitline, and a third voltage applied to the wordline to establish a subsequent program voltage of the subsequent programming pulse that is below the maximum program voltage level.

  • Patent number: 11859133
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using size-reversing materials in vessels where direct heating is used to at least partially provide heat for reforming reactions under cyclic reforming conditions. An example of a size-reversing material is the combination of NiO and Al2O3. It has been discovered that size-reversing materials can undergo a phase transition that can assist with re-dispersion of metal at elevated temperatures. This can assist with maintaining catalytic activity for reforming over longer time periods in the presence of cyclic reforming conditions.

  • Patent number: 11861854
    Abstract: Dense feature scale detection can be implemented using multiple convolutional neural networks trained on scale data to more accurately and efficiently match pixels between images. An input image can be used to generate multiple scaled images. The multiple scaled images are input into a feature net, which outputs feature data for the multiple scaled images. An attention net is used to generate an attention map from the input image. The attention map assigns emphasis as a soft distribution to different scales based on texture analysis. The feature data and the attention data can be combined through a multiplication process and then summed to generate dense features for comparison.

  • Patent number: 11858143
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) follows a user who may move among other people, change orientation, or move in and out view of a camera on the AMD. A predicted location of the user may be determined based on a previous location and previous movement. A proximity value is determined by the distance between a location in physical space of a user and the predicted location. An image from a camera is processed to determine a user depicted in the image and generate a feature vector (FV) of that depiction. A gallery of FVs of the user as viewed from different angles, poses, and so forth is stored. A similarity value is determined between a FV of an unidentified user in an image and the FVs in the gallery. The user may be identified using the proximity value and the similarity value.
