  • Publication number: 20230351795
    Abstract: In various examples, sensor data—such as masked sensor data—may be used as input to a machine learning model to determine a confidence for object to person associations. The masked sensor data may focus the machine learning model on particular regions of the image that correspond to persons, objects, or some combination thereof. In some embodiments, coordinates corresponding to persons, objects, or combinations thereof, in addition to area ratios between various regions of the image corresponding to the persons, objects, or combinations thereof, may be used to further aid the machine learning model in focusing on important regions of the image for determining the object to person associations.

  • Publication number: 20230328001
    Abstract: A method of path MTU determination in Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel is presented. A source network device (ND) transmits, to a destination ND that is a second endpoint of the GRE tunnel, a first outer packet including a first inner packet, where the first inner packet includes a first inner header that is used to deliver the first inner packet to the source network device, a first inner GRE header, and a first payload. The source ND receives the first inner packet. The source ND transmits a second outer packet including a second inner packet that includes a second payload that has a size greater than a size of the first payload. The source ND determines that the second inner packet is not received and determines a path MTU between the source ND and the destination ND based on a size of the first and the second outer packets.

  • Patent number: 11677675
    Abstract: Path MTU determination in Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel is presented. A source network device transmits, to a destination network device that is a second endpoint of the GRE tunnel, multiple GRE encapsulated packets that include multiple inner packets respectively, where each inner packet has an inner header used to deliver that inner packet to the source network device and a different payload, and where each of these GRE encapsulated packets has a different size. The source network device receives a first portion of the inner packets from the destination network device and does not receive a second portion of the inner packets. The source network device determines a path MTU to the destination network device based on the size of the GRE encapsulated packet with a largest size for which a corresponding inner packet is received at the source network device from the destination network device.

  • Patent number: 10783382
    Abstract: A method of performing lane detection without the use of a frame buffer may include capturing image frames with an image sensor in a vehicular imaging system. Feature extraction circuitry in the vehicular imaging system may analyze a frame to detect features corresponding to possible lane markers. The features may be extracted and stored in memory for further processing, while the rest of the frame may not be stored in memory and may not undergo further processing. Processing circuitry may perform a first estimation of lane marker location based on a continuous feature that is present in multiple different image frames and may perform a second estimation of lane marker location based on multiple features in a single image frame that form a connected feature. The processing circuitry may determine the presence of a lane marker based on the continuous feature and the connected feature.

  • Publication number: 20110090386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the filed of fabrication and application of CCD devices, and provides a CCD pixel element with a geometry capable of improving a resolution of a CCD device having such pixel element. According to the present invention, a conventional CCD pixel element is divided into four sub-regions having same areas by two intersecting straight lines or cures with an intersection point positioned within the pixel element, and one of the sub-regions is removed so as to form the CCD pixel element geometry. It is possible to improve a resolution of a CCD device having pixel elements with such geometry.
