  • Publication number: 20240104167
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method for simultaneously tracking one or more objects includes receiving, via a dynamical system with a set of sensors, a first set of unlabeled measurements from one or more objects. Each of the measurements is a function of time. A set of candidate tracks is determined for the one or more objects. Probabilities of each of the first set of unlabeled measurements being assigned to each of the set of candidate tracks are computed. A track from the set of candidate tracks is determined for each of the one or more objects based on a joint probability distribution of track attributes and the probabilistic assignment of each of the first set of unlabeled measurements to each of the set of candidate tracks.

  • Patent number: 10209971
    Abstract: A compilation system can apply a smoothness constraint to the arguments of a compute-bound function invoked in a software program, to ensure that the value(s) of one or more function arguments are within specified respective threshold(s) from selected nominal value(s). If the constraint is satisfied, the function invocation is replaced with an approximation thereof. The smoothness constraint may be determined for a range of value(s) of function argument(s) so as to determine a neighborhood within which the function can be replaced with an approximation thereof. The replacement of the function with an approximation thereof can facilitate simultaneous optimization of computation accuracy, performance, and energy/power consumption.

  • Patent number: 10180828
    Abstract: A compilation system generates one or more energy windows in a program to be executed on a data processors such that power/energy consumption of the data processor can be adjusted in which window, so as to minimize the overall power/energy consumption of the data processor during the execution of the program. The size(s) of the energy window(s) and/or power option(s) in each window can be determined according to one or more parameters of the data processor and/or one or more characteristics of the energy window(s).

  • Patent number: 10145871
    Abstract: A system for data acquisition and processing includes a selector for obtaining samples from one or more sensors, each of which is configured to collect a sample during one or more sampling intervals forming a dwell period. The selector is configured to obtain only a subset of samples of a complete set of samples that can be collected during a dwell period. A solver is configured to solve an underdetermined system based on the collected samples and a mapping relation/phase function, to jointly determine one or more angles and one or more frequencies of transmissions received by the one or more sensors.

  • Patent number: 9140784
    Abstract: A method for identification of one or more launched objects obscured by debris objects within a debris field comprises: directing one or more sensor pulses at the debris field to obtain a plurality of sensor images; identifying objects within the debris field based on the sensor images; determining acceleration characteristics for each of the identified objects within the debris field based on the sensor images; identifying objects exhibiting free fall acceleration characteristics as debris objects; and identifying objects exhibiting centripetal acceleration characteristics as the one or more launched objects.
