  • Applying a continuous effect via model-estimated class embeddings
    Patent number: 12190637
    Abstract: There is provided methods, devices and techniques to process an image using a deep learning model to achieve continuous effect simulation by a unified network where a simple (effect class) estimator is embedded into a regular encoder-decoder architecture. The estimator allows learning of model-estimated class embeddings of all effect classes (e.g. progressive degrees of the effect), thus representing the continuous effect information without manual efforts in selecting proper anchor effect groups. In an embodiment, given a target age class, there is derived a personalized age embedding which considers two aspects of face aging: 1) a personalized residual age embedding at a model-estimated age of the subject, preserving the subject's aging information; and 2) exemplar-face aging basis at the target age, encoding the shared aging patterns among the entire population.

  • Method for manufacturing a microbolometer with thermistor material made from vanadium oxide having improved performances
    Patent number: 12188830
    Abstract: A process for fabricating a microbolometer includes producing a membrane containing a thermistor material, which is made of a first compound based on vanadium oxide and which is formed from a central segment. The central segment covers an intermediate insulating layer, and the thermistor material is formed from lateral segments, which make contact with biasing electrodes through apertures. The process also includes incorporating locally, by ion implantation, into the lateral segments an amount of an additional chemical element higher than or equal to the effective amount. The electrical resistivity ?L at room temperature of the compound thus modified is lower than or equal to 10% of the electrical resistivity ?c at room temperature of the first compound.

    Abstract: A force sensor includes at least one cavity defining at least two surfaces having different orientations. On each of said surfaces is disposed at least one respective detection structure sensitive to a pressure exerted on the corresponding surface. A resiliently deformable medium at least partially fills the cavity by coming into contact with the surfaces and defines a detection surface, on which a force to be detected is likely to be exerted. The application of this force is likely to generate stresses on each detection structure due to the transmission of forces by the medium.
