  • Patent number: 11941721
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for embedding watermark information are disclosed in the present disclosure. The method trains an embedded neural network model using weight information of a target neural network model and target watermark information that is to be embedded into the target neural network model, updates the weight information of the target neural network model according to target watermark embedded data provided by the embedded neural network model, and obtains a target neural network model embedded with the target watermark information. Since the embedded neural network model includes multiple neural network layers, this method increases the complexity of the watermark embedding process, and is able to avoid the problem that watermark information of existing neural network models has poor robustness to watermarking attacks such as overwriting attacks and model compression.

  • Publication number: 20240094809
    Abstract: An eye tracking system with in-optical-assembly plane illumination is described. Side-emitting light emitting diodes (LEDs) aligned with a plane of an optical assembly of a near-eye display device are used to illuminate the eye of a user and generate glints that can be detected by an eye tracking camera. When a corrective optical lens or similar element is included in the optical assembly that may distort illumination beams from the light emitting diodes (LEDs), the distortion is mitigated by using in-package or externally modified LEDs that provide angled beams. In addition to in-package level mitigations such as reflectors or labels, edge portions of the distorting optical elements may be shaped or complemented with refractive elements to redirect the beams toward the eye.
