Publication number: 20230118361Abstract: A media application receives user input that indicates one or more objects to be erased from a media item. The media application translates the user input to a bounding box. The media application provides a crop of the media item based on the bounding box to a segmentation machine-learning model. The segmentation machine-learning model outputs a segmentation mask for one or more segmented objects in the crop of the media item and a corresponding segmentation score that indicates a quality of the segmentation mask.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Orly LIBA, Navin SARMA, Yael Pritch KNAAN, Alexander SCHIFFHAUER, Longqi CAI, David JACOBS, Huizhong CHEN, Siyang LI, Bryan FELDMAN

Patent number: 10467285Abstract: A method of recommending radio stations including the step of generating a plurality of driver models. Each driver model may correspond to a different driver and documents audio content listened to by that driver while driving. The plurality of driver models may be aggregated to generate a recommendation model correlating radio stations, audio content, and geographic regions. Thereafter, a request for recommendations may be received from a driver while the driver is in a familiar or unfamiliar geographic region. A driver model corresponding to the driver may be compared against other data contained within the recommendation model in order to identify one or more radio stations that present audio content within the geographic region that best matches the audio content documented within the driver model corresponding to the driver. The one or more radio stations may then be communicated to the driver.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Harpreetsingh Banvait, Casey Bryan Feldman, Jinesh J.

Patent number: 10343602Abstract: A vehicle includes a plurality of sensors including exterior sensors. Vehicle signals, such as those derived from sensors, are processed to detect alertable conditions and each alertable condition is represented by a created software object. A location is associated with each software object, such as corresponding to a location of an exterior feature that gave rise to the alertable condition. The software object is updated over time according to the vehicle signals, such as by updating the location according to movement of the obstacle. The software objects are processed to drive an array of speakers effective to simulate a sound originating from the location associated with the software object. The sound generated by the speakers may be repeated chimes having a volume and period determined according to the location.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Alexander Groh, Alan Norton, Casey Bryan Feldman, Prabhanjan Kadepurkar
