Abstract: The present invention discloses a system for detecting poses of people around a vehicle. An electronic sensor such as a camera is associated with a vehicle for the generation of consecutive frames within a video. The system generates a boundary box around a person within each frame and optimizes a tracker for each person in consecutive frames. The system detects people on the road through pose estimation. The system performs a confidence pre-processing procedure before sending the trackers to a pose estimator to extract their poses.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a PMR write head with a trailing shield that comprises a FeCoNiM composition. The FeCoNiM composition can be formed via an electroplating process by adding Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and a transition metal salt to an aqueous solution comprised of other additives in an electroplating cell that has an Ni or Co as the anode. The plated HD magnetic material as the trailing shield in a PMR writer can minimize a wide area track erasure (WATE). Further, a high moment high damping shield can lower bit error rate (BER) and increase aerial density capability (ADC) of the write head.
