  • Publication number: 20240028871
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for performing wire segmentation of images using machine learning. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods comprise receiving an input image, generating, by a first trained neural network model, a global probability map representation of the input image indicating a probability value of each pixel including a representation of wires, and identifying regions of the input image indicated as including the representation of wires. The disclosed systems and methods further comprise, for each region from the identified regions, concatenating the region and information from the global probability map to create a concatenated input, and generating, by a second trained neural network model, a local probability map representation of the region based on the concatenated input, indicating pixels of the region including representations of wires. The disclosed systems and methods further comprise aggregating local probability maps for each region.

  • Publication number: 20230351560
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may relate to potential methods of training a machine learning model to be implemented on a mobile computing device configured to capture, adjust, and/or store image frames. An example method includes supplying a first image frame of a subject in a setting lit within a first lighting environment and supplying a second image frame of the subject lit within a second lighting environment. The method further includes determining a mask. Additionally, the method includes combining the first image frame and the second image frame according to the mask to generate a synthetic image and assigning a score to the synthetic image. The method also includes training a machine learning model based on the assigned score to adjust a captured image based on the synthetic image.

  • Patent number: 10116897
    Abstract: Photometric stabilization for time-compressed video is described. Initially, video content captured by a video capturing device is time-compressed by selecting a subset of frames from the video content according to a frame sampling technique. Photometric characteristics are then stabilized across the frames of the time-compressed video. This involves determining correspondences of pixels in adjacent frames of the time-compressed video. Photometric transformations are then determined that describe how photometric characteristics (e.g., one or both of luminance and chrominance) change between the adjacent frames, given movement of objects through the captured scene. Based on the determined photometric transformations, filters are computed for smoothing photometric characteristic changes across the time-compressed video. Photometrically stabilized time-compressed video is generated from the time-compressed video by using the filters to smooth the photometric characteristic changes.
