Patents by Inventor Hongxiang Gu

Hongxiang Gu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220156503
    Abstract: A video summarization system generates a concatenated feature set by combining a feature set of a candidate video shot and a summarization feature set. Based on the concatenated feature set, the video summarization system calculates multiple action options of a reward function included in a trained reinforcement learning module. The video summarization system determines a reward outcome included in the multiple action options. The video summarization system modifies the summarization feature set to include the feature set of the candidate video shot by applying a particular modification indicated by the reward outcome. The video summarization system identifies video frames associated with the modified summarization feature set, and generates a summary video based on the identified video frames.

  • Patent number: 10650245
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating digital video summaries based on analyzing a digital video utilizing a relevancy neural network, an aesthetic neural network, and/or a generative neural network. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize an aesthetics neural network to determine aesthetics scores for frames of a digital video and a relevancy neural network to generate importance scores for frames of the digital video. Utilizing the aesthetic scores and relevancy scores, the disclosed systems can select a subset of frames and apply a generative reconstructor neural network to create a digital video reconstruction. By comparing the digital video reconstruction and the original digital video, the disclosed systems can accurately identify representative frames and flexibly generate a variety of different digital video summaries.
