摘要： The present disclosure provides techniques for graphics translation. A subset of a plurality of natural language image descriptions for an image of a product is received. A set of shared natural language descriptors is identified in the subset of the plurality of natural language image descriptions. The set of shared natural language descriptors is aggregated, and a description for the first image is generated based on the aggregated set of shared natural language image descriptions.

摘要： Examples are described for applying different settings for image capture to different portions of image data. For example, an image sensor can capture image data of a scene and can send the image data to an image signal processor (ISP) and a classification engine for processing. The classification engine can determine that a first object image region depicts a first category of object, and a second object image region depicts a second category of object. Different confidence regions of the image data can identify different degrees of confidence in the classifications. The ISP can generate an image by applying a different settings to the different portions of the image data. The different portions of the image data can be identified based on the object image regions and confidence regions.

摘要： A visible light sensor (VLS) may be configured to sense environmental characteristics using images of a space. The VLS may be controlled in one or more modes, including a daylight glare sensor mode, a daylighting sensor mode, a color sensor mode, and/or an occupancy/vacancy sensor mode. In the daylight glare sensor mode, the VLS may be configured to decrease or eliminate glares. In the daylighting sensor mode and/or color sensor mode, the VLS may be configured to provide a preferred amount of light and color temperature, respectively, within the space. In the occupancy/vacancy sensor mode, the VLS may be configured to detect an occupancy/vacancy condition within the space and adjust one or more control devices according to the occupation or vacancy of the space. The visible light sensor may be configured to protect the privacy of users within the space via software, a removable module, and/or a special sensor.

摘要： A cable comprises: a cable core; and a cable sheath layer formed on the outside of the cable core, wherein the cable sheath layer has, on the outer surface thereof, a pattern corresponding to a binary code. A recognition rate is improved, and a problem of the productivity of the cable being reduced may be prevented by adjusting the widths of the pattern, corresponding to the binary code printed on the cable, in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and a plurality of patterns corresponding to the binary code printed on the cable are provided to prevent, even when the cable is buried in the ground or contacts a facility and a pattern corresponding to some binary patterns is not exposed, a pattern corresponding to the other binary patterns from being exposed and unrecognizable.

摘要： In some arrangements, product packaging is digitally watermarked over most of its extent to facilitate high-throughput item identification at retail checkouts. Imagery captured by conventional or plenoptic cameras can be processed (e.g., by GPUs) to derive several different perspective-transformed views—further minimizing the need to manually reposition items for identification. Crinkles and other deformations in product packaging can be optically sensed, allowing such surfaces to be virtually flattened to aid identification. Piles of items can be 3D-modelled and virtually segmented into geometric primitives to aid identification, and to discover locations of obscured items. Other data (e.g., including data from sensors in aisles, shelves and carts, and gaze tracking for clues about visual saliency) can be used in assessing identification hypotheses about an item. Logos may be identified and used—or ignored—in product identification. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

摘要： System that facilitates rapid onboarding of an autonomous (cashier-less) store by capturing images of the store's items from multiple angles, with varying background colors, and that builds a classifier training dataset from these images. Background surfaces may for example be coated with retroreflective tape or film, and variable-color incident light sources may generate the desired background colors. Embodiments may automatically rotate or otherwise reorient the item placed in the onboarding system, so that a relatively small number of cameras can capture views from multiple angles. When an item is placed in the system, a fully automated process may generate a sequence of item orientations and background colors, and may capture and process images from the cameras to create training images. Images of the item from multiple angles, under varying lighting conditions, may be captured without requiring an operator to move or reorient the item.

摘要： The present invention eliminates meaningless searching for an object, and increases the probability that an image the user likes can be obtained. An image capturing apparatus comprises an image capturing device configured to capture an object image, an object detection unit configured to detect an object from image data captured by the image capturing device, a state detection unit configured to detect information pertaining to a state in which the image capturing apparatus is being held, and a control unit configured to control a range in which the object detection unit searches for an object, on the basis of state information of the image capturing apparatus detected by the state detection unit.

摘要： Techniques are described for reducing the number of angles needed in structured illumination imaging of biological samples through the use of patterned flowcells, where nanowells of the patterned flowcells are arranged in, e.g., a square array, or an asymmetrical array. Accordingly, the number of images needed to resolve details of the biological samples is reduced. Techniques are also described for combining structured illumination imaging with line scanning using the patterned flowcells.
