  • Patent number: 11900672
    Abstract: Devices, systems and processes for an integrated internal and external camera system that enhances the passenger experience in vehicles are described. One example method for enhancing a passenger experiences includes capturing a first set of images of an area around the vehicle using an external camera system, capturing a second set of images of one or more passengers inside the vehicle using an internal camera system, recognizing at least one gesture made by the one or more passengers based on the second set of images, identifying an object or a location external to the vehicle based on the first set of images and the at least one gesture, and displaying information related to the object or the location to the one or more passengers.

  • Patent number: 11886645
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and processes for gesture detection. A method includes capturing a series of images. The method includes generating motion isolation information based on the series of images. The method includes generating a composite image based on the motion isolation information. The method includes determining a gesture based on the composite image. The processes described herein may include the use of convolutional neural networks on a series of time-related images to perform gesture detection on embedded systems or devices.

  • Publication number: 20230023870
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for applying neural networks in resource-constrained environments. A system may include a sensor located in a resource-constrained environment configured to generate first sensor data and second sensor data of the resource-constrained environment. The system may also include a first computing device not located in the resource-constrained environment configured to produce a neural network structure based on the first sensor data. The system may also include a second computing device configured to determine a state of the resource-constrained environment based on input of the second sensor data to the neural network structure. The system may also include a controller located in the resource-constrained environment configured to control a device in the resource-constrained environment based on the state of the resource-constrained environment determined by the second computing device.
