  • Publication number: 20230078574
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach receives an image that includes multiple image points and constructs a plane in the image based on a first subset of the plurality of image points. The approach identifies a second subset of the image points that belong to the plane and are not part of the first subset of image points, and removes the first subset of image points and the second subset of image points form the image points. The approach annotates the remaining subset of image points in the image.

  • Publication number: 20230043505
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for implementing deep learning software model modification is provided. The method includes monitoring operational performance of a software model. An expected confidence level associated with the operational performance is first determined and it is determined that an inference associated with the expected confidence level is below a selected range of inferences associated with assigning new feature data as candidate video data. A candidate sequence comprising video data associated with the candidate video data is received and a similarity between frames of the candidate sequence is determined. A frame comprising a highest similarity with respect to segments of candidate video data is selected and it is detected that the frame is not associated with additional frames stored within a full cache structure. The software model is retrained such that the operational performance is modified.

  • Patent number: 11567528
    Abstract: A master clock signal for an image capture device and a light emission device is accessed. The master clock signal is divided to generate a high frequency clock signal. A frame timer is used to measure a frame time of the image capture device based on cycles of the high frequency clock signal. Based on an exposure timing signal from the image capture device, estimating an exposure start time for the image capture device; is estimated. Based on the estimated starting time, the light emission device begins emission of a positional tracking pattern at the estimated starting time and for a duration determined by the measured frame time of the image capture device.
