  • Publication number: 20240104830
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy of a vision model. Images of an object with a first set of perspectives are received from a dataset used to train the vision model. A three-dimensional model of the object is then generated using the images of the object from the dataset. Using the three-dimensional model of the object, images of the object with a second set of perspectives are obtained. For example, the second set of perspectives may include different perspectives than the perspectives of the object from the images contained in the dataset. The dataset used to train the vision model may then be augmented with such images of the object with a second set of perspectives. In this manner, the dataset used to train the vision model includes a greater number of perspectives of the object thereby improving the accuracy of the vision model.

  • Publication number: 20050248961
    Abstract: The present invention provides a resembling prismatic structure of light guide plate to economize the optical films such as prismatic film, diffusion film, reflection film and . . . etc. The present invention simplifies the multifarious structures of the prior LCD backlight modules. It can efficiently decrease the material of making the backlight module and the cost of the manufacturing time. In comparison with that conventional LCD backlight module emits light wholly, continuously and evenly from light emitting face of light guiding plate. Large amount of energy is wasted in the conventional backlight module owing to its illumination on the opaque part of LCD substrate such as common electrode and black matrix.

  • Publication number: 20050213320
    Abstract: The present invention of illuminator pertains to converting spot light source, especially light-emitting-diode, into planar light source with some kind of intensity distribution mode, including a spot light source and a reflector, characterized in that spot light source is located at lateral and nook position, and the reflector can be designed elastically according to requirement of mode of reflected light vector distribution in space and mode of reflected light intensity distribution on illuminated surface. Spot light sources of the present invention include light-emitting-diode LCD. The modes of reflected light include space distribution mode in which light vectors are more orientated or nearly parallel and intensity distribution mode, of reflected light on illuminated surface, in which intensity is nearly even on illuminated surface; Both types of modes can co-exist in a illuminator.

  • Patent number: 6138950
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an aircraft engine air intake cover for use with an air intake which is characterized by an air velocity profile therewithin. The air intake cover is provided with an air induction plate which disposed across at least a portion of the air intake. The air intake cover is further provided with a multitude of air induction ducts. The induction ducts are disposed about and extend through the air induction plate. Each induction duct has a duct inlet, a duct outlet and a duct body interposed between the duct inlet and the duct outlet. The duct inlets each respectively define an effective inlet diameter. The duct bodies each respectively define a duct body length which is greater than the associated effective duct inlet diameter. The duct outlets each respectively define an effective outlet diameter greater than the effective inlet diameter for increasing the cohesiveness of the air velocity profile within the air intake.
