Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for assessing the suitability of network links for connecting compute nodes located at different geographic sites. The method of some embodiments identifies and analyzes sample packets from a set of flows exchanged between first and second compute sites that are connected through a first network link in order to identify attributes of the sampled packets. The method also computes attributes of predicted packets between the identified samples in order to identify attributes of each flow in the set of flows. The method then uses the identified and computed attributes of each flow in the set of flows to emulate the set of flows passing between the two compute sites through the second network link in order to assess whether a second network link should be used for future flows (e.g., future flows exchanged between the first and second compute sites).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing a more accurate presentation of a vehicle's surroundings when the presentation combines images from multiple cameras. Cameras may capture the same portion of the environment. If an object is within view of at least two cameras, each camera produces a portion of an overall view, such as a 360 degree synthetic top-down view. The seam, angle and/or geometry, angle between any two images is dynamically determined, such as due to proximity (or lack thereof) to an object. As a result the synthetic top-down view may present an image of an object more prominently and/or avoid having the seam between camera images fall on the image of the object, which may otherwise result in the image of the object being omitted from both camera images.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing an Augmented Reality (AR) navigation display in a vehicle. More specifically, embodiments are directed to rendering AR indications of a navigation route over a camera video stream in perspective. According to one embodiment, visual tracking can be performed on features in the video data and camera pose, i.e., a matrix encapsulating position and orientation, can be determined for each frame of video based on both the visual tracking and navigation sensor data. These separately determined camera poses can then be merged or fused into a single camera pose that is more accurate and more stable and which can then be used in rendering more realistic AR route indicators onto the video of the real-world route captured by the camera.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an augmented reality based user's manual for a vehicle implemented as an application on a mobile device which allows the user to point a mobile phone, tablet or an augmented reality headset at any part of the vehicle interior or exterior and experience augmented annotations, overlays, popups, etc. displayed on images of real parts of the car captured by the user's mobile device. Embodiments provide for estimating the camera pose in six degrees of freedom based on the content of the captured image or video and using a neural network trained on a dense sampling of a three-dimensional model of the car rendered with realistic textures to identify and properly align the augmented reality presentation with the image of the vehicle being captured by the mobile device.
