Title: Vehicle boundary detection
Inventor: ERICK MICHAEL LAVOIE
IPC: G06T7/13
Filed: 2017-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to using images captured by a vehicle mounted camera, or plurality of cameras, to update vehicle dimensions which have changed, for example by adding a tow hook or some other appendage to the vehicle. The camera record a series of images which are combined, 804, for example by a process of averaging to remove unwanted items from the captured images. The averaging may be carried out only on images satisfying a predetermined criteria, such as only images captured within a given time frame. Edges can then be identified, 806, for example by comparing each pixel in the combined image to a threshold, which may be calculated based on detected features in the combined image. The dimensions of the vehicle are then updated based the identified edges. In some embodiments the vehicle may execute a parking routine based on the updated dimensions.

Title: Telephone network
Inventor: SIMON THOMPSON
IPC: H04M3/436
Filed: 2019-03-28
Abstract: A plurality of calls are identified that have been made by a particular telephone number to telephone numbers in a telephone network. It is determined whether the sequence in which the calls were placed corresponds to a correct order for calling those telephone numbers, the correct order being determined based on a predetermined order for calling telephone numbers in the telephone network. It is determined that one or more of the calls were made by spoofing the particular telephone number if the sequence in which the calls were placed does not correspond to a correct order. A further call made by the particular telephone number may be classified as a spoofed call if a telephone number that is called is earlier in the predetermined order than a telephone number of a latest legitimate call. Further aspects of the invention provide sharing a secret with a communications network, the secret being used to determine an order for a plurality of telephone numbers to be called and calling the plurality of telephone numbers according to the determined order.
