  • Patent number: 12705877
    Abstract: Aspects of this technical solution can increase speed of processing in low-latency application areas, while maintaining integrity of image feature recognition at those higher speeds. For example, in image-processing environments associated with autonomous navigation (e.g., driving), a large volume of image data is to be rapidly and accurately processed to maintain reliable and up-to-date models of a physical environment. For example, embodiments in accordance with this disclosure can provide high-speed and accurate image feature recognition of input frame data beyond the capability of CPU processing or general GPU processing to achieve.

  • Publication number: 20260129046
    Abstract: This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and specifically provides a data access method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The data access method includes: when it is determined that a data access request sent by a client is received, obtaining an access control condition for a subnet address segment of a data server, where the subnet address segment is obtained through division from a local area network address segment corresponding to the first VPC, and the client is deployed in a second VPC; generating a data response message based on the data access request if it is determined that the data access request satisfies the access control condition; obtaining a routing table rule for the subnet address segment of the data server; and returning the data response message to the client based on the routing table rule. In this way, a quantity of consumed VPC is reduced while data isolation is ensured.
