Abstract: A data storage device for providing zone management optimization may include memories including staging memory areas (e.g., single level cells) and destination memory areas (e.g., quad-level cells). The destination memory areas may include memory regions (e.g., zones). A controller may be configured to receive data from a host system, write the data initially to the staging memory areas, receive a region full indication for a first memory region. In response to receiving the region full indication, the controller may add a first entry corresponding to the first memory region to a double linked list. The controller may select, using a region selection randomization method, a second entry corresponding to a second memory region, and folds a second data to the second memory region. The first data may be associated with the first memory region and the second data may be associated with the second memory region.

Abstract: An approach is provided for detecting road features. The approach, for example, involves receiving image data associated with one or more road features. The received image data may be associated with ground truth label data corresponding to the one or more road features. The approach further involves determining a set of shadowed regions from one or more images of the received image data. The approach further involves generating artificial shadow data based on the determined set of shadowed regions. The approach further involves augmenting the image data with the generated artificial shadow data by applying the generated artificial shadow data to the received image data. The approach further involves training a machine learning (ML) model based on the augmented image data and the ground truth label data. The ML model is trained to detect the one or more road features.
