Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product may be provided for user guidance. In an example, the system includes an image projection device configured to project traffic patterns on a surface, at least one non-transitory memory configured to store computer program code, and a processor configured to execute the computer program code to control operation of the image projection device. For example, sensor data from one or more sensors onboard a vehicle is obtained. The sensor data is associated with a state of operation of the vehicle, and proximate movement associated with the vehicle. Based on the sensor data, one or more traffic patterns for projection is determined. Further, an image projection device is controlled to project the one or more traffic patterns in one or more direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: A solution for noncontact optical torque measurement of a rotating component is provided. At least one imaging system acquires images of a rotating component. A torque computing unit determines the torque of the rotating component using the images. The torque computing unit can compare the acquired images to previously collected expected images obtained under a known torque condition. The torque computing unit determines the torque of the rotating component based on variations between the acquired images and the collected expected images.

Abstract: A solution for evaluating an object using physical three-dimensional locations of the various points on the object derived from image data concurrently acquired by two or more cameras (e.g., stereo image data) is provided. Image data concurrently acquired by at least two cameras at each of multiple instants is processed to identify one or more points of an object visible in the image data. A physical three-dimensional location of each such point can be calculated at each instant using the corresponding image data. Additionally, a physical three-dimensional location of one or more points of the object visible only in the image data acquired by one camera can be calculated for each of the three different instants using the image data in which the corresponding point is visible and the physical three-dimensional location of one or more of the points visible in the image data acquired by at least two cameras.

Abstract: A solution for navigating a vehicle is provided. The vehicle is navigated from a start location to a target location using a set of linear paths. A current linear path is identified between a current location of the vehicle and the target location. At least a portion of the current linear path is evaluated for a presence of an obstacle. In response to no obstacle being present along the current linear path, the vehicle is instructed to travel along the current linear path to the target location. In response to an obstacle being present, the vehicle is instructed to travel along a different linear path from the current location to an intermediate location, which is selected based on an extent of the obstacle and the current linear path. The process can be repeated until the vehicle arrives at the target location.
