  • Publication number: 20240029286
    Abstract: A method of generating additional supervision data to improve learning of a geometrically-consistent latent scene representation with a geometric scene representation architecture is provided. The method includes receiving, with a computing device, a latent scene representation encoding a pointcloud from images of a scene captured by a plurality of cameras each with known intrinsics and poses, generating a virtual camera having a viewpoint different from viewpoints of the plurality of cameras, projecting information from the pointcloud onto the viewpoint of the virtual camera, and decoding the latent scene representation based on the virtual camera thereby generating an RGB image and depth map corresponding to the viewpoint of the virtual camera for implementation as additional supervision data.

  • Publication number: 20230080638
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to self-supervised learning of camera intrinsic parameters from a sequence of images. One embodiment produces a depth map from a current image frame captured by a camera; generates a point cloud from the depth map using a differentiable unprojection operation; produces a camera pose estimate from the current image frame and a context image frame; produces a warped point cloud based on the camera pose estimate; generates a warped image frame from the warped point cloud using a differentiable projection operation; compares the warped image frame with the context image frame to produce a self-supervised photometric loss; updates a set of estimated camera intrinsic parameters on a per-image-sequence basis using one or more gradients from the self-supervised photometric loss; and generates, based on a converged set of learned camera intrinsic parameters, a rectified image frame from an image frame captured by the camera.

  • Patent number: 10839792
    Abstract: A method (and structure and computer product) for learning Out-of-Vocabulary (OOV) words in an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system includes using an Acoustic Word Embedding Recurrent Neural Network (AWE RNN) to receive a character sequence for a new OOV word for the ASR system, the RNN providing an Acoustic Word Embedding (AWE) vector as an output thereof. The AWE vector output from the AWE RNN is provided as an input into an Acoustic Word Embedding-to-Acoustic-to-Word Neural Network (AWE?A2W NN) trained to provide an OOV word weight value from the AWE vector. The OOV word weight is inserted into a listing of Acoustic-to-Word (A2W) word embeddings used by the ASR system to output recognized words from an input of speech acoustic features, wherein the OOV word weight is inserted into the A2W word embeddings list relative to existing weights in the A2W word embeddings list.
