The alternating dielectric stack includes a dielectric layer pair, and the dielectric layer pair includes a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer different from the first dielectric layer. A barrier structure extending vertically through the alternating dielectric stack and laterally separating the alternating dielectric stack into a first portion and a second portion is formed. The barrier structure has an unclosed shape. The first dielectric layer in the second portion of the alternating dielectric stack is replaced with a conductor layer to form an alternating conductor/dielectric stack including the conductor layer and a third dielectric layer. A through array contact structure extending vertically through the first portion of the alternating dielectric stack to the substrate is formed.

Abstract: A computer vision system configured for detection and recognition of objects in video and still imagery in a live or historical setting uses a teacher-student object detector training approach to yield a merged student model capable of detecting all of the classes of objects any of the teacher models is trained to detect. Further, training is simplified by providing an iterative training process wherein a relatively small number of images is labeled manually as initial training data, after which an iterated model cooperates with a machine-assisted labeling process and an active learning process where detector model accuracy improves with each iteration, yielding improved computational efficiency. Further, synthetic data is generated by which an object of interest can be placed in a variety of setting sufficient to permit training of models. A user interface guides the operator in the construction of a custom model capable of detecting a new object.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for retargeting and prioritized interpolation of lens profiles. A lens profile file may include a set of lens sub-profiles. The camera body and/or settings described in the file may not exactly match that of camera body and/or settings used to capture a target image. A sub-profile processing module may perform a prioritized sub-profile sorting and interpolation method to generate an interpolated sub-profile that may be applied to the target image to correct aberrations including, but not limited to, geometric distortion, lateral chromatic aberration, and vignette. Thus, models generated for a reference camera at a variety of settings may be applied to a target image captured with the same type of lens but with a different camera and/or with different settings that are not exactly modeled in the lens profile file.
