Described herein is a method and computer system programmed to enable prediction of human activity. In one aspect, a method includes a capture phase (101), which includes capture of a stream of raw depth images from a depth camera device. A scene processing phase (102) is applied thereby to process the raw depth images from phase (101) to produce an upright pointcloud of foreground only points, aligned with an identified upright orientation (optionally via a ground plane).

Valid poses are then passed for processing in a tracking phase (105). This includes tracking all detected person poses using a probabilistic estimator, such as a particle filter with social constraints to improve tracking robustness in densely crowded environments. Then, via an output phase (106), a final output is provided in the form of a stream of filtered poses with persistent tracking IDs which describe the trajectory of each person observed by the sensor.

The presence of a lane marking segment as detected by the first sublayer can serve as a gate for the second sublayer by regulating the credit assignment for training the network. Only when the first sublayer predicts actual presence will the geometric layout of the lane marking segment contribute to the training of the overall network. This achieves advantages with respect to accuracy and efficiency and contributes to efficient robust model selection.

A controller for an AC electric motor, includes a Feed Forward Torque Controller and a load model. The Torque controller directly derives a torque related component of applied motor voltages from a signal representing a torque command input T* and at least one motor parameter. The load model derives a motor speed value including a model of motor speed behaviour of the AC electric motor to provide an output signal which represents the motor speed of the AC electric motor. This motor speed output signal is used in determining a frequency of rotation of an applied motor voltage vector. Where an input to the load model is the signal representing the torque command input T*, the load model uses the signal representing the torque command T*, at least over a part of an operating speed range of the AC motor which includes zero speed, to determine the motor speed output signal.
