    摘要: Various embodiments set forth computer vision systems. In some embodiments, one or more activation maps are generated based on eye gaze data and used to control operation of one or more sensors. Each activation map indicates a highest density for acquiring sensor data in a region corresponding to an eye gaze direction and lower densities for acquiring sensor data in other regions. After the sensor data is acquired, a processing pipeline sub-samples (or bins) and processes regions of the acquired sensor data at different ratios based on the eye gaze direction. The sub-sampled (or binned) data for each region is processed independently, and results of the processing are combined to generate processed data, such as an image that can be displayed to a user.

    摘要: Coherent light (e.g., laser light) is emitted into a tissue sample through an optical fiber. The tissue sample diffuses the coherent light. Different blood flow quantities generate different coherent light interference patterns. An image of a coherent light interference pattern is captured with an image sensor coupled to an optical fiber. The speckle contrast of the image quantifies coherent light interference pattern. The speckle contrast is determined and is mapped to blood flow quantities using one or more data models. A quantity of blood flow is identified in a tissue sample at least partially based on the speckle contrast value of the captured image.

    摘要: A thermal-optical phase shifter includes a substrate layer, a cladding layer, and a beam in the cladding layer. The thermal-optical phase shifter includes a waveguide and a heating element disposed in the beam. The thermal-optical phase shifter includes a thermally conductive structure disposed on the cladding layer to disperse heat from the beam. The thermally conductive structure may include a metal strip disposed longitudinally along the beam, may include thermally conductive pads, and/or may include thermally conductive vias coupled between the cladding layer and the substrate layer. The thermal-optical phase shifter may be incorporated into light detection and ranging (LIDAR) devices, telecommunications devices, and/or computing devices.
