Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy of a vision model. Images of an object with a first set of perspectives are received from a dataset used to train the vision model. A three-dimensional model of the object is then generated using the images of the object from the dataset. Using the three-dimensional model of the object, images of the object with a second set of perspectives are obtained. For example, the second set of perspectives may include different perspectives than the perspectives of the object from the images contained in the dataset. The dataset used to train the vision model may then be augmented with such images of the object with a second set of perspectives. In this manner, the dataset used to train the vision model includes a greater number of perspectives of the object thereby improving the accuracy of the vision model.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing maximum transmit power control when utilizing multiple radio access technologies. For example, a wireless communication device comprising two cellular radios may intend to transmit on the first radio, while concurrently transmitting on the second radio. To ensure compliance with a maximum transmit power limitation, the device may determine an allowed transmit power level of the first radio, representing a difference between the maximum transmit power limitation and the current transmit power level being transmitted by the second radio. The device may also determine a threshold power level for a communication by the first radio. If the allowed transmit power level meets the threshold power level, then the device may transmit the first communication having a power level between the threshold power level and the allowed transmit power level. Otherwise, the device may forego transmission of the first communication.
