  • Publication number: 20230205690
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for enhanced system performance after retention loss are described. A memory system may program a page of memory cells in response to receiving a power down notification. As part of the programming, the memory system may record an indication of a voltage threshold of the page and power down for a duration of time, during which the memory system may experience retention loss. Upon powering on, the memory device may compare the voltage threshold of the page to the indication stored prior to powering down and determine a voltage offset for one or more blocks of the memory system. In some cases, the memory system may use the voltage offset to determine a starting bin, and may initiate a bin scan to determine a final bin for the one or more blocks.

  • Patent number: 11645765
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of real-time visual object tracking. In another aspect, a process for performing a local re-identification of a target object which was earlier detected in a video but later lost when tracking the target object is disclosed. This process begins by receiving a current video frame of the video and a predicted location of the target object. The process then places a current search window in the current video frame centered on or in the vicinity of the predicted location of the target object. Next, the process extracts a feature map from an image patch within the current search window. The process further retrieves a set of stored feature maps computed at a set of previously-determined locations of the target object from a set of previously-processed video frames in the video. The process next computes a set of correlation maps between the feature map and each of the set of stored feature maps.
