  • Publication number: 20240155070
    Abstract: A method for processing a video with a dynamic video-based super-resolution network and a circuit system are provided. In the method, quality scores used to assess a quality of an input video are calculated based on image features of the input video. A moving average algorithm is performed on the quality scores of multiple frames of the input video for obtaining a moving average score. Two corresponding weight tables are selected according to the moving average score. The two weight tables are used to calculate a blending weight that is applied to a neural network super-resolution algorithm. The blending weight is applied to the neural network super-resolution algorithm, so as to produce an output video.

  • Patent number: 11906902
    Abstract: Example implementations described herein include a laser source and associated methods of operation that can balance or reduce uneven beam profile problem and even improve plasma heating efficiency to enhance conversion efficiency and intensity for extreme ultraviolet radiation generation. The laser source described herein generates an auxiliary laser beam to augment a pre-pulse laser beam and/or a main-pulse laser beam, such that uneven beam profiles may be corrected and/or compensated. This may improve an intensity of the laser source and also improve an energy distribution from the laser source to a droplet of a target material, effective to increase an overall operating efficiency of the laser source.
