Abrégé

An augmented reality (AR) system for an aircraft obtains an aircraft pose, determines a passenger pose relative to a window, and computes a field-of-view of the passenger. Operations select a set of passenger-relevant points of information (POIs) from a database that satisfy a relevance rule to the real-world objects viewable by the passenger through the window. For each of the passenger-relevant POIs in the set, operations determine an AR indicia to be displayed, and an AR indicia pose where the AR indicia is to be rendered on a display device. Operations generate a display command based on the AR indicia and the AR indicia pose for the passenger-relevant POIs in the set. Operations provide the display command to the display device to display renderings of the AR indicias with the AR indicia poses to augment the real-world objects viewed by the passenger through the window.

Abrégé

A position of an aircraft is computed, associated with the radius of a sphere centered around the estimated position of the aircraft and within which the actual position of the aircraft is located with a probability equal to or greater than a predefined threshold. For this purpose, the computation is based on distances from radio transmitters each having a fixed position in a geographical reference frame. The positions of the radio transmitters are converted into a terrestrial reference system, before solving a system of equations linking, in the terrestrial reference system, the position of the aircraft and the positions of the radio transmitters. After solving the system of equations, the position of the aircraft is converted from the terrestrial reference system into the geographical reference frame.

Abrégé

There is provided a method and a system for customized image denoising with interpretability. A deep neural network (NN) is trained to denoise an image on a training dataset including pairs of noisy and corresponding clean images acquired from an imaging apparatus, where during the training a structured covariance score (SCS) indicative of a performance of the deep NN in recovering content of corresponding clean images relative to the denoised image is determined based on sparse conditional correlations. A test noisy image is received and denoised by the deep NN. A user feedback score indicative of user satisfaction of the denoising is obtained. A quality parameter is obtained based on the SCS and a quality metric indicative of denoised image quality is obtained from a pretrained NN, and compared with the user feedback score. If the SCS is above the user feedback score, the deep NN is provided for denoising.

Abrégé

Circuits are protected from timing attacks by adding a random delay to mask any relation between contents of processed information packages and the processing time required between in- and output signals of protected circuits. This random delay has to be performed preferably inside the protected volume and can be realized by one or more random delay buffers that are realized by means of e.g. random shift-registers. Further protection may be provided by situating the circuits in a single chip housing, such that the signals thereof interfere with each other and it is difficult to obtain information therefrom. A physical barrier may be provided in order to prevent or at least limit physical access to for example at least one TPM chip arranged inside of the barrier. The physical barrier comprises an impedance, i.e. in form of a capacitor with capacity C and or resistor R and or inductivity L, for example formed by two of the reflector layers of the barrier with an absorbing material in between. Any impedance (i.e. capacity C and/or resistance R and/or inductivity L) change can be detected and any impedance (i.e. capacity and/or resistance and/or inductivity L) change beyond a chosen threshold is indicative of an attempt to physically destruct or enter the barrier. Upon detecting an impedance (i.e. capacity C and/or resistance R and/or inductivity L) change beyond the threshold, any suitable action may be performed, such as deleting all information from the chip, destroying the chip or providing wrong information. The barrier may also act as a reflector for reflecting the desired signal of the at least one chip, such that the desired signal and the reflected signals interfere with each other and it is difficult to obtain information therefrom.
