  • Patent number: 11816795
    Abstract: The photo-video based spatial-temporal volumetric capture system more efficiently, produces high frame rate and high resolution 4D dynamic human videos, without a need for 2 separate 3D and 4D scanner systems, by combining a set of high frame rate machine vision video cameras with a set of high resolution photography cameras. It reduces a need for manual CG works, by temporally up-sampling shape and texture resolution of 4D scanned video data from a temporally sparse set of higher resolution 3D scanned keyframes that are reconstructed both by using machine vision cameras and photography cameras. Unlike typical performance capture system that uses single static template model at initialization (e.g. A or pose), the photo-video based spatial-temporal volumetric capture system stores multiple keyframes of high resolution 3D template models for robust and dynamic shape and texture refinement of 4D scanned video sequence.

  • Publication number: 20230342663
    Abstract: A machine learning application method, a device, an electronic apparatus, and a storage medium, used to directly link service scenarios, aggregate data related to the service scenarios, accordingly explore modeling schemes, and ensure that data used in offline modeling scheme exploration and data used in an online model prediction service have the same source, thereby realizing consistency of source of offline and online data. Directly deploying an offline model to an online environment results in data inconsistency between online feature computation and offline feature computation, which in turn causes poor prediction performance; therefore, only a modeling scheme is deployed online, and the offline model is not deployed. After a modeling scheme is deployed online, sample data having a feature and feedback can be obtained by receiving a prediction request, thereby enabling model self-learning by means of the sample data.

  • Patent number: 11717246
    Abstract: In a medical image generation method, projection data of a scanned object is acquired during rotation of a radiographic source, and a scout image of the scanned object is generated in one scanning direction using corresponding projection data in two opposite scanning directions in the projection data. The scanning direction is used to represent a relative position relationship between the radiographic source and the scanned object. Using projection data in two opposite directions to generate a scout image in one direction during rotary scanning of a radiographic source can significantly shorten the generation time of the scout image.
