Abstract: Processing for judging whether a face is included in a frame is performed, in a predetermined interval, on each of frames included in a moving image of a subject, displayed on a monitor, until the judgment becomes positive. If it is judged that a face is included in a frame, the facial position is detected in the frame, and stored. Then, judgment is made as to whether a face is included in the next frame after predetermined time. If the judgment is positive, the facial position is detected. The previously stored facial position is replaced by the newly detected facial position, and the newly detected facial position is stored. These processes are repeated until photographing operation is performed by operating a release unit.

Abstract: Example implementations may relate to sun-aware vehicle routing. In particular, a computing system of a vehicle may determine an expected position of the sun relative to a geographic area. Based on the expected position, the computing system may make a determination that travel of the vehicle through certain location(s) within the geographic area is expected to result in the sun being proximate to an object within a field of view of the vehicle's image capture device. Responsively, the computing system may generate a route for the vehicle in the geographic area based at least on the route avoiding travel of the vehicle through these certain location(s), and may then operate the vehicle to travel in accordance with the generated route. Ultimately, this may help reduce or prevent situations where quality of image(s) degrades due to sunlight, which may allow for use of these image(s) as basis for operating the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for tracking inventory items is provided. The method includes using sensors to produce respective sequences of images of corresponding fields of view, the field of view of each sensor overlapping with the field of view of at least one other sensor. The method includes dividing the area of real space into cells having volume and coordinates in a real space, and identifying inventory items and their locations in three dimensions using the sequences of images produced by at least two sensors having overlapping fields of view. The method includes, in response to the identification of the inventory items: (i) matching locations in three dimensions of identified inventory items with cells in the plurality of cells, and (ii) determining, for a particular inventory item matched with a particular cell, whether a count of the particular inventory item is below a threshold for re-stocking the particular inventory item.

Abstract: A display panel adjustment method, display apparatus and storage medium. Detecting whether a persistence is created on a display panel by displaying a preset detection screen, locating all zones where a persistence has appeared in case where the persistence has been created on the display panel, and determining a target gate line which probably causes the persistence to appear on the display panel; by shortening the turn-on time of a target gate line, it is possible to decrease the probability of a parasitic capacitor being formed on the target gate line, or may decrease the charge held in the parasitic capacitor formed on the target gate line, and may further increase the discharge time of the parasitic capacitor, so as to mitigate or eliminate the persistence, and improve the display effect.

Abstract: A visible light sensor may be configured to sense environmental characteristics of a space using an image of the space. The visible light sensor 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 visible light sensor may be configured to decrease or eliminate glare within a space. In the daylighting sensor mode and the color sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to provide a preferred amount of light and color temperature, respectively, within the space. In the occupancy/vacancy sensor mode, the visible light sensor 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.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for predicting object pose. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an image of an object having one or more feature points; providing the image as an input to a neural network subsystem trained to receive images of objects and to generate an output including a heat map for each feature point; applying a differentiable transformation on each heat map to generate respective one or more feature coordinates for each feature point; providing the feature coordinates for each feature point as input to an object pose solver configured to compute a predicted object pose for the object, wherein the predicted object pose for the object specifies a position and an orientation of an object; and receiving, at the output of the object pose solver, a predicted object pose for the object in the image.
