  • Publication number: 20240029352
    Abstract: Techniques are described for computing devices to perform automated operations related to using images acquired in a building as part of an automated generation process of a floor plan or other mapping information for the building, in some cases without using depth information from depth-sensing equipment about distances from the images' acquisition locations to objects in the surrounding building, and for subsequent use in further automated manners, such as controlling navigation of mobile devices and/or for display to end users in a corresponding graphical user interface. The automated analysis and assessment of the building images may, for example, include incrementally generating partial versions of the mapping information, determining acquisition instructions related to further acquisition of additional images and/or other types of data (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20230206393
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automated operations to analyze visual data from images acquired in multiple rooms of a building to generate multiple types of building information (e.g., to include a floor plan for the building), such as by using a trained neural network to jointly generate the multiple types of building information by combining visual data from pairs of the images, and for subsequently using the generated building information in one or more further automated manners, with the building information generation further performed in some cases without having or using information from any distance-measuring devices about distances from an image's acquisition location to walls or other objects in the surrounding room. The automated operations may include generating some types of building information with respect to each image pixel column, and other types of building information by combining data from both images of a pair.

  • Patent number: 7812073
    Abstract: A preparation method of small particle-sized polybutadiene latex used for the production of ABS is disclosed, which includes putting components comprising 34.00-45.00% by weight of the butadiene, 0-6.0% by weight of the second monomer, 52.11-63.13% by weight of the desalinized water, 0.12-0.22% by weight of the mercaptan(TDM), 0.80-2.60% by weight of the emulsifiers composed of potassium abietate and potassium oleate, into the same polymerization reactor, then heating the mixture of the components and stirring the same at a temperature range of 60-75° C. The reaction lasts for 9-12 hours and the conversion is higher than 97%. The method has the advantages such as higher conversion, shorter reaction period and lower latex viscosity. During the first stage of the reaction, more heat is released by increasing the reaction rate. When the conversion reaches 40-80%, the heat release rate of intermediate stage is depressed by decreasing the reaction temperature.
