    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for generating location information associated with a video. For instance, an electronic device may use a radar sensor to generate radar data. The electronic device may then analyze the radar data in order to determine a location associated with an object. In some instances, the location may correspond to at least a first coordinate along a first axis and a second coordinate along a second axis. The electronic device may also generate image data using the imaging device. Additionally, the electronic device may analyze the image data in order to determine that the image data represents an object and/or a type of object. The electronic device may then generate location data representing an identifier for the object and the location. Next, the electronic device may send the image data and the location data to one or more computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20240361453
    Abstract: An object detection device includes an acquisition module and a detection module. The acquisition module acquires a detection distance indicating a distance from a transmission/reception unit mounted on a vehicle to an object and a reception intensity indicating an intensity of a reflected wave received by the transmission/reception unit. The detection distance is detected based on results of transmission of a transmission wave by the transmission/reception unit and reception of the reflected wave from the object by the transmission/reception unit. The detection module detects a detection target among objects including the object based on the reception intensity exceeding an intensity threshold. The detection module increases the intensity threshold when the detection distance is a distance threshold or less and the detection target is detected.

  • Publication number: 20240361458
    Abstract: In a system for covert sensing and communications a broadband light source is encoded using spread spectrum waveform coding to spread a narrow-band signal over frequency. The modulated broadband light is suitably hidden in additional noise and then split into two portions, a first portion of which illuminates a target, and a second portion of which is delayed and provided as a local oscillator. Light reflected from the target is combined with the local oscillator, detected using heterodyne, homodyne or quasi-homodyne techniques, demodulated and decoded to estimate the phase of the reflected light relative to the transmitted light to provide fine range estimates for the target. Waveform coding allows for time-correlation of the transmitted and received coded waveforms to provide improved resolution for adjusting the delay of the local oscillator to improve the detection schemes. The waveform coding also provides a covert communications channel.

    Abstract: For larger FOV in a gamma camera, multiple solid-state detectors are tiled. The edge pixels of the pixelated detectors are smaller than interior pixels so that the pitch of the pixels or anodes is constant across the tiled detectors. The constant pitch occurs where pairs of edge pixels combined from different detectors contribute the pitch or area of an interior pixel. As a result of this optimized edge pixel pairing and corresponding regular pitch across the tiles, the spectral and other performance is less degraded.

    Abstract: The present invention falls within the area of well logging to evaluate formations in oil and gas producing fields. Particularly, the present invention describes a method for generating synthetic T1-T2 maps from marginal distributions of nuclear magnetic resonance logging tools, wherein the method comprises: decomposing marginal distributions of T1 and T2 relaxation times into an initial sum of log-normal functions with the same amplitudes and different means and standard deviations; setting the initial amplitudes, means and standard deviations so that the sum of log-normal functions corresponds to the marginal distributions of T1 and T2; and using the amplitudes, means and standard deviations set in a sum of two-dimensional log-normal functions to generate a synthetic T1-T2 map.

  • Publication number: 20240361489
    Abstract: The inventive subject matter is directed to pest detection systems that implement infrared emitters with detectors that look for variations in incident light indicative of wingbeats from various pests. Emitters and detectors are placed on one or more printed circuit boards such that infrared light projected from an emitter can be received by one or more detectors. Based on signal generated by a detector, systems of the inventive subject matter can determine whether a pest has flown between an emitter and detector. To save on power, emitter, detectors, or both can be driven by pulse width modulation. Methods of the inventive subject matter are directed to determining pest presence via signal filtering and interpretation.

    Abstract: Proposed are a well log quality improvement apparatus and a well log quality improvement method. In an embodiment, a well log quality improvement method includes performing a quality controlling operation on a well log by inputting the well log to a well logging data processing model to train the model and by determining a bad hole section corresponding to a log section associated with a bad hole, performing a conditioning operation on the well log by replacing the bad hole section included in the well log with alternative data, and normalizing a distribution of data of the well log according to a distribution of data of a reference well log obtained from a reference well. By improving the quality of the well log, the overall accuracy of oil and gas exploration may be improved, and time required for data analysis may be reduced.

The one or more weather values are compared to baseline weather data for the location to identify a weather event, wherein the weather event is identified in response to determining that the one or more weather values deviate from a corresponding one or more baseline values of the baseline weather data by a threshold amount. A request is received from a user device for weather information for the location. Information relating to the weather event is provided to the user device.
