  • Patent number: 11945744
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for reusing wastewater. The method for reusing wastewater disclosed herein includes: generating a mixed wastewater by mixing multiple types of wastewater (S20); performing a first purification by passing the mixed wastewater through a flocculation-sedimentation unit (S40); performing a second purification by passing an effluent of the flocculation-sedimentation unit through a membrane bioreactor (MBR) (S60); performing a third purification by passing an effluent of the MBR through a reverse-osmosis membrane unit (S80); and reusing an effluent of the reverse-osmosis membrane unit as cooling water or industrial water (S100).

  • Patent number: 11544940
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for lane estimation. In aspects, a method includes receiving a plurality of camera frames captured by a camera sensor of a vehicle, assigning a first subset of the plurality of camera frames to a deep learning (DL) detector and a second subset of the plurality of camera frames to a computer vision (CV) detector based on availability of the DL and CV detectors, identifying a first set of lane boundary lines in a first camera frame processed by the DL detector, identifying a second set of lane boundary lines in a second camera frame processed by the CV detector, generating first and second sets of lane models based on the first and second sets of lane boundary lines, and updating a set of previously identified lane models based on the first set of lane models and/or the second set of lane models.

  • Patent number: 10325339
    Abstract: A method for capturing an image of a traffic sign by an image sensor is disclosed. The method may include capturing, by the image sensor, at least one image including the traffic sign, wherein the image sensor is mounted in a vehicle. The method may include detecting, by a processor, the traffic sign in the at least one image. The method may also include in response to detecting the traffic sign, determining, by the processor, at least one direction of the image sensor based on the at least one image and motion of the vehicle. In addition, the method may include adjusting, by the processor, the image sensor to the at least one direction.

  • Patent number: 10152540
    Abstract: A method, performed by an electronic device, for linking a thumbnail of an image and at least one web page is disclosed. In this method, the image including at least one text region may be accessed in a storage unit. At least one text region may be detected in the image and at least one character string in the at least one text region may be recognized. Further, the method may include selecting the at least one web page from the plurality of web pages and linking the thumbnail of the image and the at least one web page.

  • Publication number: 20160104052
    Abstract: A method for displaying an image is disclosed. The method may be performed in an electronic device. Further, the method may detect at least one text region in the image and determine at least one text category associated with the at least one text region. Based on the at least one text region and the at least one text category, the method may generate at least one thumbnail from the image and display the at least one thumbnail.
