  • Patent number: 12360240
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for stationary object detection and classification based on low-level radar data. Raw electromagnetic signals reflected off stationary objects and received by a radar system may be preprocessed to produce low-level spectrum data in the form of range-Doppler maps that retain all or nearly all the data present in the raw electromagnetic signals. The preprocessing may also filter non-stationary range-Doppler bins. The remaining low-level spectrum data represents stationary objects present in a field-of-view (FOV) of the radar system. The low-level spectrum data representing stationary objects can be fed to an end-to-end deep convolutional detection and classification network that is trained to classify and provide object bounding boxes for the stationary objects. The outputted classifications and bounding boxes related to the stationary objects may be provided to other driving systems to improve their functionality resulting in a safer driving experience.

  • Patent number: 10685170
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a content aggregation viewer may present a container layout to summarize a data item set to a user. The content aggregation viewer may determine a viewport dimension for a viewport of a user interface of a content aggregation application to present a data item set to a user. The content aggregation viewer may automatically arrange a container set summarizing the data item set in a container layout based on the viewport dimension. The content aggregation viewer may set a parallel container dimension of a data item container of the container set having a variable dimension size in a direction of the viewport dimension based on the viewport dimension. The content aggregation viewer may present the container set in the container layout to the user.

  • Patent number: 9094604
    Abstract: Imaging devices may include an array of image pixels arranged in rows and columns coupled to processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may include histogram generation circuitry and extremum pixel value identification circuitry. The histogram generation circuitry may include sub-histogram generation circuitry that generates pixel value sub-histograms each of which includes pixel values generated by pixels from respective subsets of the rows in the array. Histogram accumulation circuitry may combine the sub-histograms to generate an accumulated histogram. The extremum identification circuitry may process a set of pixel value patches. The identification circuitry may include a first stage of comparator circuitry for identifying an extremum value of each column in the set of patches, a second stage of comparator circuitry for identifying an extremum value of each patch in the set, and a third stage of comparator circuitry for identifying an extremum of the set of pixel value patches.

  • Patent number: 8495558
    Abstract: A system for managing values associated with properties of elements within a process model can include a storage element for storing the process model and a processing element. The processing element can be configured to identify within the process model an element, to identify an object containing the element, to assign a value for a property of the element, and to retrieve the value for the property of element. The value for property of the element can be stored in location selected from one among an element modifier applied to the element, an object modifier applied to the object, a default set of values for the object, and a default set of values for the element, where the location for storing the value of the property of the element is selected such that the location has a higher relative priority than a location for storing a previous value for the property of the element.

  • Patent number: 7368696
    Abstract: The plural signal chains of an imaging device are calibrated in the digital domain. The pixel array of the imaging device includes a row of calibration pixels. The column circuitry, prior to reading a row of pixels, reads the row of calibration pixels in order to obtain a set of column offsets. The row of pixels is read and processed to produce a corresponding plurality of digital values. The set of column offsets are applied to the digital values to compensate for response differences among the signal chains.

  • Publication number: 20070140142
    Abstract: Computer method and apparatus for connection tree routing in visual modeling of software is disclosed. Tree routing style is represented as a property of a subject connection. A router object manages location of bendpoints of the subject connection in a connection tree. The subject connection maintains an end node as its target instead of a trunk element of the connection tree. The router object is formed of a hierarchy of routers including branch routers, tree routers and forest routers. Different routers maintain different aspects of the tree data forming display of the connection tree.

  • Publication number: 20070106974
    Abstract: A computer method and apparatus for visual modeling software programs represents a topic by providing a respective topic diagram. The topic diagram is non-editable and has non-persisting notation data. The topic diagram demonstrates a respective set of relationships between one or more given elements representative of the subject topic. The topic diagram is derived based on a query which saves search criteria and information that enables an editor to generate the diagram notation data. There are different topic providers for different queries. A topic service manages the topic providers and processes client calls (requests) regarding specific context and query. Queries are end-user customizable and are extensible per topic.
