  • Patent number: 12147895
    Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for finding patterns in images that incorporates neural net classifiers. A pattern finding tool is coupled with a classifier that can be run before or after the tool to have labeled pattern results with sub-pixel accuracy. In the case of a pattern finding tool that can detect multiple templates, its performance is improved when a neural net classifier informs the pattern finding tool to work only on a subset of the originally trained templates. Similarly, in the case of a pattern finding tool that initially detects a pattern, a neural network classifier can then determine whether it has found the correct pattern. The neural network can also reconstruct/clean-up an imaged shape, and/or to eliminate pixels less relevant to the shape of interest, therefore reducing the search time, as well significantly increasing the chance of lock on the correct shapes.

  • Publication number: 20240166217
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an indication regarding a deceleration event for a vehicle, remapping a response of a prime mover of the vehicle from following a first response curve to following a deceleration response curve in response to (i) the deceleration event and (ii) a speed of the vehicle being greater than a speed threshold, and activating an output of the prime mover to accelerate the vehicle at a relatively lesser amount of depression of an accelerator from a non-depressed state of the accelerator than prior to the deceleration event in response to the accelerator being engaged by an operator following the deceleration event.

  • Patent number: 11926331
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a position circuit structured to monitor a position of an accelerator of a vehicle and a speed circuit structured to monitor a speed of the vehicle. The position corresponds with an associated response of a prime mover of the vehicle. The associated response includes at least one of a torque output and a power output of the prime mover. The apparatus further includes a response management circuit structured to receive an indication regarding the position of the accelerator and the speed of the vehicle; determine that the indication satisfies a remapping condition, the remapping condition including at least one of a creep condition, an obstacle condition, a deceleration condition, and a reverse condition; and dynamically remap the associated response of the prime mover of the vehicle based on the position of the accelerator in response to the indication satisfying the remapping condition.

  • Publication number: 20240078801
    Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for finding line features in an image that allows multiple lines to be efficiently and accurately identified and characterized. When lines are identified, the user can train the system to associate predetermined (e.g. text) labels with respect to such lines. These labels can be used to define neural net classifiers. The neural net operates at runtime to identify and score lines in a runtime image that are found using a line-finding process. The found lines can be displayed to the user with labels and an associated probability score map based upon the neural net results. Lines that are not labeled are generally deemed to have a low score, and are either not flagged by the interface, or identified as not relevant.

  • Patent number: 11753015
    Abstract: A system for controlling an overtake maneuver of a control vehicle comprises a controller structured to determine an overtake velocity for the control vehicle traveling in a vehicle lane to overtake a front vehicle traveling ahead of the control vehicle in the vehicle lane. The controller determines an overtake time for the control vehicle to overtake the front vehicle based on the overtake velocity. The controller determines a direction of traffic in an overtake lane that is adjacent to the vehicle lane. If the direction of traffic in the overtake lane is the same as a direction of traffic in the vehicle lane, and the overtake velocity is less than or equal to an allowed velocity, the controller executes the overtake maneuver by one of adjusting a parameter of an engine and/or a transmission of the control vehicle or providing a command to an operator of the control vehicle.
