Abstract: Techniques related to adaptive quality boosting for low latency video coding are discussed. Such techniques include segmenting each of a number of temporally adjacent video frames into unique high encode quality regions and encoding each of the video frames by applying a coding quality boost to the high encode quality regions relative to other regions of the video frames.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for recommending locations. The systems may receive data related to a plurality of historical service requests, generate a plurality of feature matrices based on each of a plurality of candidate points of interest (POIs) associated with the plurality of historical service requests, generate a set of sample POIs from the plurality of candidate POIs based on the plurality of feature matrices, train a preliminary POI recommendation model using the set of sample POIs with associated feature matrixes; and determine at least one target POI based on a trained POI recommendation model.

Abstract: A highly versatile optical shutter for industrial and scientific applications is disclosed. The has a aperture which defines a light path through the shutter, and a shutter vane or blade that is moved into and out of the light path using a precision, microprocessor controlled motor, such as a stepping motor. Preferably, the motor is mounted on the shutter housing using a shock absorbing material. A control unit associated with the shutter comprises the microprocessor, a motor driver, preferably one which is capable of microstepping the motor, and a non-volatile memory device, such as EEPROM, which stores a plurality of shutter control programs defining different trajectories of the shutter vane. Different programs may be used, for example, to maximize shutter speed or frequency, or to minimize vibrations.
