  • Systems and methods for gait recognition via disentangled representation learning
    Patent number: 11315363
    Abstract: Gait, the walking pattern of individuals, is one of the most important biometrics modalities. Most of the existing gait recognition methods take silhouettes or articulated body models as the gait features. These methods suffer from degraded recognition performance when handling confounding variables, such as clothing, carrying and view angle. To remedy this issue, a novel AutoEncoder framework is presented to explicitly disentangle pose and appearance features from RGB imagery and a long short-term memory integration of pose features over time produces the gait feature.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for providing trailer information
    Patent number: 10332002
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing trailer information are provided. The method includes detecting a p coupler of the trailer in the image of the rear-facing camera; detecting a position of the coupler in the received image; and determining a distance between the detected position of the coupler of the trailer and a hitch of vehicle. The method may be use to display information about a trailer coupler or guide a vehicle to line up a vehicle hitch to a trailer coupler.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING TRAILER INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20180272941
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing trailer information are provided. The method includes detecting a p coupler of the trailer in the image of the rear-facing camera; detecting a positon of the coupler in the received image; and determining a distance between the detected position of the coupler of the trailer and a hitch of vehicle. The method may be use to display information about a trailer coupler or guide a vehicle to line up a vehicle hitch to a trailer coupler.
