  • Publication number: 20240127396
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to generate super-resolution upscaling. An example apparatus to process an image disclosed herein includes interface circuitry to accept input image data with a first resolution, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to upscale the input image data based on an upscale factor to generate intermediate image data with a second resolution higher than the first resolution, process the input image data with a neural network to produce neural network output data with a number of channels per pixel that is based on the upscale factor, combine the intermediate image and the neural network output data to generate output image data with the second resolution.

  • Patent number: 11531109
    Abstract: Technologies for managing a world model of a monitored area includes a roadway server configured to receive LIDAR sensing data from a LIDAR sensing system positioned to monitor the monitored area and generate a world map of the monitored area based on the LIDAR sensing data. The world model includes data that identifies objects located in the monitored area. The roadway server may distribute the world model to automated vehicles traveling through the monitored area via a stream or in response to directed requests. The roadway server may also receive sensor data from the automated vehicles, which may be used to generate the world model. The roadway server may distribute the world model to other interested devices located in or near the monitored area.

  • Patent number: 10796457
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to image-based compression of Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) sensor data with point re-ordering are described. In an embodiment, logic receives distance sensor data and converts the received distance sensor data to point cloud data. The point cloud data corresponds to a set of points in a three dimensional (3D) space. The logic circuitry packs/organizes the converted point cloud data into one or more two dimensional (2D) arrays. Data stored in the one or more 2D arrays are compressed to generate a compressed version of the point cloud data. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
