Abstract: This disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for passively determining the probability of the presence of a camera lens smudge on an image capture device, e.g., based on an analysis of images captured by the image capture device (and without the need for any reference images). The techniques include: obtaining an image using an image capture device and identifying and analyzing (e.g., in the form of gradient analysis) the regions of interest (ROIs) in high intensity areas of the image. A probability of the presence of a smudge on the image capture devices may then be determined and outputted to a display using any desired modality. According to some aspects, machine learning (ML)-based models may be used in the performance of the passive camera lens smudge detection techniques disclosed herein. According to other aspects, temporal consistency and/or sensor consistency constraints may also be applied to the smudge detection processes.

Abstract: An uncured acoustic absorbing member for cavity sealing comprises a thermally inert carrier (8, 28) and a thermally expandable material (6, 26) applied to the carrier (8, 28). The carrier (8, 28) contains openings (3) which become covered when the thermally expandable material (6, 26) is expanded to seal the cavity. The thermally expandable material (6, 26) may be in the form of substantially discontinuous segments (25) having an area in the range of 0.25 to 400 mm2. The substantially discontinuous segments (25) provide a highly uniform expansion of the material when it is thermally expanded. The acoustic absorbing members are particularly useful for sealing automotive cavities to provide acoustical abatement and to prevent the entry of fluids into the cavity.
