  • Patent number: 12183047
    Abstract: A method for generating an unobstructed bowl view of a vehicle that includes obtaining a plurality of images from a plurality of cameras disposed on the vehicle and determining a plurality of depth fields. The method further includes detecting a plurality of distorted objects in the plurality of images with a first machine-learned model that assigns a class distribution to the detected distorted object and estimating a distance of each distorted object from its associated camera using the plurality of depth fields. The method further includes assigning an object weight to each distorted object in the plurality of distorted objects and removing at least one distorted objects from the plurality of images. The method further includes replacing each of the at least one removed distorted objects with a representative background generated by a second machine-learned model and stitching and projecting the plurality of images to form the unobstructed bowl view.

  • Publication number: 20240409089
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assisting a vehicle in avoiding an object in a roadway and communicating associated information to trailing vehicles. Image data is sensed by a vehicle image sensor regarding a roadway. A computing system detects an object in the roadway based on the first image data. Feature extraction is performed to extract relevant features of the object, which is fed to an object classification model to determine a class of the object. A threat analysis is performed based on the determined class of the object, outputting a risk score. The first vehicle is commanded to take an action based on the risk score. The class of the object, the risk score, and/or the commanded action taken by the vehicle is communicated to a second vehicle that is approaching the object.

  • Publication number: 20240367676
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assisting a vehicle to park based on real-time parking spot availability data. First image data sensed by a first sensor mounted on a first vehicle is received, wherein the first image data corresponds to a parking zone. A digital map of the parking zone is displayed based on the first image data. The digital map is stored in a remote server for future recall. Second image data corresponding to the parking zone sensed from another vehicle is received. The digital map is updated in real-time based on the second image data, including indicating one or more parking spots as being occupied and/or unoccupied. The updated digital map is sent to a device associated with a third vehicle and displayed on a device associated therewith, enabling a user of the device to see real-time information regarding availability of parking spots in the parking zone.

  • Patent number: 6579164
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for removing skin from the bodies of animals, preferably of fowls, and a device for implementing said method. Known devices comprise skin-removing rollers, designed to enable height adjustment via a control cam. Said devices, however, have the disadvantage of not enabling the rollers to be accurately positioned on the bodies of animals of different shapes, in particular on bodies with curves. The invention aims at supplying a device and a method ensuring optimal positioning enabling the skin to be removed without damage. This is achieved by the fact that the inventive device comprises skin-removing rollers with two degrees of freedom, thereby enabling said rollers to be optimally positioned, independently of the size of the animal body.

  • Patent number: 5407383
    Abstract: An apparatus for detaching wings from a poultry body is described in which the detachment is effected by means of three pairs of separating tools with varying arrangements and forms of knife blades. The poultry bodies are prepared as front halves and pass through the processing areas of the separating tools fixed on supporting saddles which are moved forward by conveying means and convey the poultry body with the neck portion leading and the breast portion uppermost. This "three-cut" separation procedure allows an extremely economical detachment of the wing and greatly increases the yield of breast fillet meat while avoiding bone splinters in the region of attachment of the wings.

  • Patent number: 5269722
    Abstract: A method for mechanically detaching the meat from the bodies of slaughtered poultry in the form of fillets is performed with a starting product in the shape of a so called "front-half", i.e. a body portion obtained by a cross-section made obliquely through the poultry body. From this body portion the pelvis has been severed together with the legs, and by a further step the wings have been severed. The treatment in individual processing steps, the performance of which is limited to very narrowly restricted working areas by means of tools which can thus be adapted without compromise to the anatomically conditioned circumstances. Moreover, the sequence of the processing steps is selected such that the increasing destabilization of the poultry body is controlled with each processing step so that the respective subsequent working steps are influenced in a minimum manner possible. The result is a high yield in fillet meat of excellent quality.

  • Patent number: 4793026
    Abstract: An apparatus for skinning fish includes a pressure pad carrying an oscillating knife blade and defining a presser surface which faces the circumferential surface of a skinning roller, the pressure pad being mounted to yield against spring force. The oscillating knife blade is guided in a pocket formed in the pressure pad. This arrangement makes it possible to skin fish fillets without any splitting of the tail portion.
