Abstract: Using a combination of image recognition, deep learning, and expert rules, disclosed systems and methods automatically identify, assess and estimate damage to vehicles based on input vehicle images. Analysis includes determinations as to type of damage, extent of damage and absolute size of damage. Disclosed embodiments include techniques of homography, allometry and semantic segmentation combined with more conventional object recognition technologies such as R-CNN in order to provide greater precision, more detailed analysis at lower computational cost.

Abstract: In a sync acquisition and tracking circuit for a DS/CDMA receiver, phase position signals are sequentially and cyclically selected at a specified rate higher than the rate at which Rayleigh fading occurs. The selected signal is used to-control the phase of PN sequences. Correlation is taken between spread pilot signals and the orthogonal PN sequences at a chip rate to produce despread pilot signals, which are integrated to produce a correlation value. A set of accumulators are provided, which are sequentially and cyclically selected at the specified rate. The correlation value is applied to the selected accumulator to produce a total sum of correlation values. The highest total sums are selected from the outputs of all accumulators, and corresponding phase position signals are identified. A set of orthogonal despreading sequences are generated corresponding to the identified phase position signals for application to the receiver.

Abstract: In a direct sequence spread spectrum receiver, spread orthogonal data signals and spread orthogonal pilot signals are correlated with orthogonal despreading sequences at a chip rate. These despread signals are integrated at a symbol rate to produce orthogonal data symbols and orthogonal pilot symbols. A predetermined number of pilot symbols of each phase component are moving-averaged. Each phase component of the orthogonal data symbols is weighted with the moving average value of the corresponding phase component of the pilot symbols, and summed with the other weighted component of the data symbols to produce an output signal of the spread spectrum receiver.

Abstract: In a direct sequence spread spectrum receiver, multiple correlators are provided for despreading a spread data signal and a spread pilot signal. During a sync acquisition mode, pilot demodulators are connected to the correlators, respectively, and during a subsequent tracking mode, data demodulators are connected to the correlators whose outputs are combined by an adder to produce an output for the receiver. Despreading codes of different phase positions are generated and supplied to the correlators, respectively. During the sync acquisition mode, the phase position of each despreading code is successively shifted and high correlation values are determined from the outputs of the pilot demodulators. During the tracking mode, the phase positions of the despreading codes are set according to the high correlation values.
