01 Nov 2019TL;DR: PanopticFusion as discussed by the authors predicts pixel-wise panoptic labels (class labels for stuff regions and instance IDs for thing regions) for incoming RGB frames by fusing 2D semantic and instance segmentation outputs.
Abstract: We propose PanopticFusion, a novel online volumetric semantic mapping system at the level of stuff and things. In contrast to previous semantic mapping systems, PanopticFusion is able to densely predict class labels of a background region (stuff) and individually segment arbitrary foreground objects (things). In addition, our system has the capability to reconstruct a large-scale scene and extract a labeled mesh thanks to its use of a spatially hashed volumetric map representation. Our system first predicts pixel-wise panoptic labels (class labels for stuff regions and instance IDs for thing regions) for incoming RGB frames by fusing 2D semantic and instance segmentation outputs. The predicted panoptic labels are integrated into the volumetric map together with depth measurements while keeping the consistency of the instance IDs, which could vary frame to frame, by referring to the 3D map at that moment. In addition, we construct a fully connected conditional random field (CRF) model with respect to panoptic labels for map regularization. For online CRF inference, we propose a novel unary potential approximation and a map division strategy. We evaluated the performance of our system on the ScanNet (v2) dataset. PanopticFusion outperformed or compared with state-of-the-art offline 3D DNN methods in both semantic and instance segmentation benchmarks. Also, we demonstrate a promising augmented reality application using a 3D panoptic map generated by the proposed system.

11 Feb 2000TL;DR: In this paper, a small transmitter built into the electric system of an environment, either stationary or potentially mobile, transmits a weak RF field capable of at least partially disabling a communication device in response to receiving a trigger signal.
Abstract: A small transmitter built into the electric system of an environment, either stationary or potentially mobile, transmits a weak RF field capable of at least partially disabling a communication device in response to receiving a trigger signal. The trigger signal is generated by the electric system in response to the presence of one or more so-called “forbidden” conditions that require that the communication device be disabled. Disabling the communication device in this manner prevents the user from using the communication device under inappropriate conditions and thereby operates to greatly enhance public safety. Disabling the communication interface of the communication device may entail disabling all keypad functions of a cellular phone, for instance, disabling all but valid, predetermined emergency uses of the communication interface, or powering-down the communication device during the existence of the condition.

25 Mar 2004TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a system to download software more securely to update the functions of software. But, the system is not applicable to personal computers, and it requires the files to be downloaded from a server into an information processing apparatus and the checksums stored in the memory are compared with those of the server.
Abstract: The present invention is intended to download software more securely to update the functions of software. When files are downloaded from a server into an information processing apparatus, a CPU downloads the files into bank A or bank B of a storage unit and copies the files into bank C. The CPU calculates a checksum of each file and a total checksum of all files and stores the obtained checksums into a memory. The checksums stored in the memory are compared with those of the server. Any file that has an error is downloaded again. In addition, at the end of the operation of the information processing apparatus, a normal end flag is stored in the memory. If, at the next startup of the information processing apparatus, its last operation is found to have been abnormally ended, the apparatus is started up by use of bank C. The present invention is applicable to personal computers.
