Patent number: 11961308Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting blockages in images are described. An example method may include receiving a plurality of images captured by a camera installed on an apparatus. The method may include identifying one or more candidate blocked regions in the plurality of images. Each of the candidate blocked regions may contain image data caused by blockages in the camera's field-of-view. The method may further include assigning scores to the one or more candidate blocked regions based on relationships among the one or more candidate blocked regions in the plurality of images. In response to a determination that one of the scores is above a predetermined blockage threshold, the method may include generating an alarm signal for the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Xiaoyan Mu, Xiaohan Hu

Patent number: 10769454Abstract: System and methods for detecting blockages in images are described. A method may include receiving a plurality of images captured by a camera installed on a vehicle. The method may include identifying one or more candidate blocked regions in the plurality of images. Each of the candidate blocked regions may contain image data caused by blockages in the camera's field-of-view. The method may further include assigning blockage scores to the one or more candidate blocked regions based on region-associations among the one or more candidate blocked regions in the plurality of images. In response to a determination that one of the blockage scores is above a predetermined blockage threshold, the method may include transmitting a blockage alarm signal to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Xiaoyan Mu, Xiaohan Hu

Patent number: 10564219Abstract: An example process for aligning channels in automatic test equipment (ATE) includes programming a first delay associated with receiving first data over a channel so that timing of the channel is aligned to timings of other channels in the ATE; programming a second delay associated with a driver driving second data over the channel based on receipt of an edge of the second data so that timing of the second data is aligned to the timing of the channel; and programming a third delay associated with a signal to enable the driver to drive the second data over the channel, with the third delay being programmed to align timing of the signal to the timing of the channel, and with the third delay being based on an edge that corresponds to an edge of the signal created by controlling operation of the driver.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Teradyne, Inc.Inventors: Tushar K.
