Publication number: 20230099526Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a computer-implemented method for determining a perceptual quality of a subject video content item. The method can include inputting a subject frame set from the subject video content item into a first machine-learned model. The method can also include generating, using the first machine-learned model, a feature based at least in part on the subject frame set. The method can also include outputting, using a second machine-learned model, a score indicating the perceptual quality of the subject video content item based at least in part on the feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Troy Chinen, Alex Sukhanov, Eirikur Thor Agustsson, George Dan Toderici

Patent number: 9805292Abstract: Techniques for providing image search templates are provided. An image search template may be associated with an image search query to aid the user in capturing an image that will be appropriate for processing the search query. The template may be displayed as an overlay during an image capturing process to indicate an appropriate image capturing pose, range, angle, or other view characteristics that may provide more accurate search results. The template may also be used in the image search query to segment the image and identify features relevant to the search query. Images in an image database may be clustered using characteristics of the images or metadata associated with the images in order to establish groups of images from which templates may be derived. The generated templates may be provided to users to assist in capturing images to be used as search engine queries.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Troy Chinen, Ameesh Makadia, Corinna Cortes, Hartwig Adam, Nemanja Petrovic, Teresa Ko, Sebastian Pueblas

Patent number: 9659352Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a first portion of a facial image in a first image, wherein the first portion includes noise. A corresponding portion of the facial image is identified in a second image, wherein the corresponding portion includes less noise than the first portion. One or more filter parameters of the first portion are determined based upon, at least in part, the first portion and the corresponding portion. At least a portion of the noise from the first portion is smoothed based upon, at least in part, the one or more filter parameters. At least a portion of face specific details from the corresponding portion is added to the first portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Sergey Ioffe, Troy Chinen, Vivek Kwatra, Hui Fang, Yichang Shih
