Abstract: A method of providing assistance to an internal combustion engine for a vehicle using an electric motor coupled to the engine is provided. The method comprises predicting a driving range based on historical driving range data. The historical driving range data includes one or more distances that the vehicle was driven during one or more previous driving cycles. The method further comprises selectively operating the motor to provide assistance to the engine at predetermined operating conditions of the engine. The assistance provided to the engine at one or more of the predetermined operating conditions is determined based at least in part on the predicted driving range.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for designing vision based software applications. In one embodiment, a media file generation module (108) automatically generates a plurality of media objects from input media content by applying different values of a set of parameters to the input media content. The plurality of media content contains information representing distinct real life scenarios and distinct environmental conditions. A performance evaluation module (110) processes each of the plurality of media objects using a vision based software application and evaluates performance of the vision based software application for each of the plurality of media objects based on the processing of the plurality of media objects. An application re-designing module (126) re-designs at least one module of the vision based software application based on the evaluated performance so that the vision based software application performs optimally in distinct real life scenarios and environmental conditions.
