  • Publication number: 20230230484
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a Spatiotemporal scene-graph embedding methodology that models scene-graphs and resolves safety-focused tasks for autonomous vehicles. The present invention features a computing system comprising instructions for accepting the one or more images, extracting one or more objects from each image, computing an inverse-perspective mapping transformation of the image to generate a bird's-eye view (BEV) representation of each image, calculating relations between each object for each image, and generating a scene-graph for each image based on the aforementioned calculations. The system may further comprise instructions for calculating a confidence value for whether or not a collision will occur through the generation of a spatio-temporal graph embedding based on a spatial graph embedding and a temporal model.

  • Patent number: 5682216
    Abstract: An LCD projector includes: a light source assembly for supplying light source required for the LCD projector; an image generating mechanism for generating image to be projected, having an LCD panel; a projection objective lens assembly for projecting the image generated by the image generating mechanism onto a screen; and a cooling mechanism for cooling off the surface of the LCD panel of which the temperature is raised due to the radiation of the light source. A thermal diffusion film having good transparency and thermal diffusivity is attachd to the surface of the LCD panel on the one side nearer to the light source assembly so as to facilitate homogeneous thermal diffusion in the surface of the LCD panel, and thus prevent deterioration of quality of projected image due to thermal shimmering caused by cooling air flow coming from the cooling mechanism.
