Patent number: 11468572Abstract: An image processing device has a function for plotting a luminance gradient co-occurrence pair of an image on a feature plane and applying an EM algorithm to form a GMM. The device learns a pedestrian image and creates a GMM, subsequently learns a background image and creates a GMM, and calculates a difference between the two and generates a GMM for relearning based on the calculation. The device plots a sample that conforms to the GMM for relearning on the feature plane by applying an inverse function theorem. The device forms a GMM that represents the distribution of samples at a designated mixed number and thereby forms a standard GMM that serves as a standard for image recognition. When this mixed number is set to less than a mixed number designated earlier, the dimensions with which an image is analyzed are reduced, making it possible to reduce calculation costs.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignees: AISIN CORPORATION, KYUSHU INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Hideo Yamada, Kazuhiro Kuno, Masatoshi Shibata, Shuichi Enokida, Hiromichi Ohtsuka

Patent number: 11468318Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for context-aware synthesis for video frame interpolation are provided. A convolutional neural network (ConvNet) may, given two input video or image frames, interpolate a frame temporarily in the middle of the two input frames by combining motion estimation and pixel synthesis into a single step and formulating pixel interpolation as a local convolution over patches in the input images.

The ConvNet may then convolve the convolutional kernel over a first pixel patch of the first input image frame and a second pixel patch of the second input image frame to obtain color data of an output pixel of the interpolation frame. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITYInventors: Feng Liu, Simon Niklaus, Long Mai

Patent number: 11354914Abstract: Techniques are discussed for determining a data level for portions of data for processing. In some cases, a data level can correspond to a resolution level, a compression level, a bit rate, and the like. In the context of image data, the techniques can determine a region of first image data to be processed a high resolution and a region of second image data to be processed at a low resolution. The regions can be determined by a machine learned algorithm that is trained to output identifications of such regions. Training data may be determined by identifying differences in outputs based on the first and second image data. The image data associated with the determined regions and the determined resolutions can be processed to perform object detection, classification, segmentation, bounding box generation, and the like, thereby conserving processing, bandwidth, and/or memory resources in real time systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventor: Jesse Sol Levinson
