Abstract: A monitoring system detects and mitigates traffic risks among a group of vehicles. The group of vehicles includes a ground-based vehicle (GBV), e.g. an automotive vehicle, and an air-based vehicle (ABV), e.g. a drone, which is operated to track a ground-based object (GBO), e.g. an unprotected road user or an animal. The monitoring system performs a method comprising: obtaining (301) predicted navigation data for the ground-based vehicle and the air-based vehicle, processing (302) the predicted navigation data to obtain one or more future locations of the ground based-object and to detect an upcoming spatial proximity between the ground-based object and the ground-based vehicle, and causing (305), upon detection of the upcoming spatial proximity, an alert signal to be provided to at least one of the ground-based object and the ground-based vehicle.

Abstract: Operating a display of a user equipment. The present invention relates to a method for operating a display (2) of a user equipment (1). The display (2) is configured to display an object (50). A permission is assigned to the object (50), which defines an allowance for a person (11-13) to view the object (50). According to the method, a gaze position (63) of a person (12) looking at the display (2) is determined, which defines a position on the display (2) at which the person (12) is looking. A distance between the gaze position (63) and a position of the object (50) is determined and furthermore, it is determined, if the person (12) is allowed to view the object based on the permission assigned to the object (50). If the person (12) is not allowed to view the object (50), the object (50) is concealed depending on the determined distance between the gaze position (63) and the position of the object (50).

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method implemented by a computing device is disclosed. Images from a sequence of images that depicts a scene are displayed on an electronic display. User input is received that selects an image from the sequence to be used as a base image. User input is also received that selects an object from the sequence of images. A movement trajectory of the selected object is determined from the sequence of images. The selected object is repositioned based on user input that drags the selected object along the determined movement trajectory from an initial position to a new position. A new image is created by combining the base image and the repositioned object.
