  • IMAGE DATA PROCESSING FOR MULTI-EXPOSURE WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE DATA
    Publication number: 20170339325
    Abstract: Disclosed examples include integrated circuits, merge circuits and methods of processing multiple-exposure image data, in which a single pre-processing circuit is used for pre-processing first input exposure data associated with a first exposure of the image, and then for pre-processing second input exposure data associated with a second exposure of the image, and the first and second pre-processed exposure data are merged to generate merged image data for tone mapping and other post-processing. An example merge circuit includes a configurable gain circuit to apply a gain to the first and/or second exposure data, as well as a configurable weighting circuit with a weight calculation circuit and a motion adaptive filter circuit to compute a first and second weight values for merging the pre-processed first and second exposure data.

    Patent number: 9824566
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, computer program products, and methods to provide alert management based on alert rankings are described herein. In an aspect, a plurality of alerts corresponding to a plurality of objects are received. A check is made to determine whether at least two alerts in the plurality of alerts include an identical priority. When the at least two alerts include the identical priority, the alert rankings for the at least two alerts are determined based on a runtime attribute. Further, when two or more alerts in the at least two alerts include the identical alert ranking upon determining the alert rankings based on the runtime attribute, the alert rankings of the two or more alerts are determined based on another runtime attribute. The plurality of alerts including the alert rankings are rendered to provide an order in which the plurality of alerts to be addressed.

  • Classifying user-provided code
    Patent number: 9818139
    Abstract: Processes for classifying, and dynamically adjusting, tiers for web services are described. Depending on the classification of the web service, support resources (e.g. servers, storage, bandwidth or other communications resources, etc.) may be configured in different ways, such as, for example, sharing resources among one or more of the web services, or isolating the resources for particular web services from those of other web services. Various electronic storefronts may be provided by a service provider to merchants/customers of the service provider. The service provider may classify each of the electronic storefronts for the merchants to a plurality of tiers. Such classifying may be performed, for example, during an enrollment of the merchant with the service provider, and/or during operation of the electronic storefront.

  • PEDESTRIAN TRACKING AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION TO IDENTIFY VULNERABLE ROADWAY USERS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, AND TRAFFIC INTERSECTION CONTROL
    Publication number: 20170323448
    Abstract: Pedestrian detection and counting for traffic intersection control analyzes characteristics of a field of view of a traffic detection zone to determine a location and size of a pedestrian area, and applies protocols for evaluating pixel content in the field of view to identify individual pedestrians. The location and size of a pedestrian area is determined based either on locations of vehicle and bicycle detection areas or on movement of various objects within the field of view. Automatic pedestrian speed calibration with a region of interest for pedestrian detection is accomplished using lane and other intersection markings in the field of view. Detection and counting further includes identifying a presence, volume, velocity and trajectory of pedestrians in the pedestrian area of the traffic detection zone.
