    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for object manipulation via action sequence optimization. An example method disclosed herein includes determining an initial state of a scene, generating a first action phase sequence to transform the initial state of the scene to a solution state of the scene by selecting a plurality of action phases based on action phase probabilities, determining whether a first simulated outcome of executing the first action phase sequence satisfies an acceptability criterion and, when the first simulated outcome does not satisfy the acceptability criterion, calculating a first cost function output based on a difference between the first simulated outcome and the solution state of the scene, the first cost function output utilized to generate updated action phase probabilities.

    Abstract: Technologies for thermal enhanced semantic segmentation include a computing device having a visible light camera and an infrared camera. The computing device receives a visible light image of a scene from the visible light camera and an infrared image of the scene from the infrared camera. The computing device registers the infrared image to the visible light image to generate a registered image. Registering the infrared image may include increasing resolution of the infrared image. The computing device generates a thermal boundary saliency image based on the registered infrared image. The computing device may generate the thermal boundary saliency image by applying a Gabor jet convolution to the registered infrared image. The computing device performs semantic segmentation on the visible light image, the registered infrared image, and the thermal boundary saliency image to generate a pixelwise semantic classification of the scene. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
