Patent number: 11995883Abstract: Approaches are presented for training and using scene graph generators for transfer learning. A scene graph generation technique can decompose a domain gap into individual types of discrepancies, such as may relate to appearance, label, and prediction discrepancies. These discrepancies can be reduced, at least in part, by aligning the corresponding latent and output distributions using one or more gradient reversal layers (GRLs). Label discrepancies can be addressed using self-pseudo-statistics collected from target data. Pseudo statistic-based self-learning and adversarial techniques can be used to manage these discrepancies without the need for costly supervision from a real-world dataset.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Aayush Prakash, Shoubhik Debnath, Jean-Francois Lafleche, Eric Cameracci, Gavriel State, Marc Teva Law

Patent number: 9432590Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for reducing flicker in image frames captured with a rolling shutter. A flicker detection and correction engine selects a first channel from a first image frame for processing. The flicker detection and correction engine subtracts each pixel value in the first channel from a corresponding pixel value in a prior image frame to generate a difference image frame. The flicker detection and correction engine identifies a first alternating current (AC) component based on a discrete cosine transform (DCT) associated with the difference image frame. The flicker detection and correction engine reduces flicker that is present in the first image frame based on the first AC component. One advantage of the disclosed techniques is that the flicker resulting from fluctuating light sources is correctly detected and reduced or eliminated irrespective of the frequency of the fluctuating light source.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Hugh Phu Nguyen, Yining Deng, Eric Francois Xavier Dujardin, Abhinav Sinha
