  • Patent number: 12260677
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for efficiently and securely managing human motion data. In one aspect, a human-motion-data-managing system first receives a sequence of video images including a first person. Next, for each image in the sequence of video images, the human-motion-data-managing system detects the first person in the video image; and subsequently extracts a skeleton figure of the detected first person from the image, wherein the skeleton figure is composed of a set of human keypoints. Next, human-motion-data-managing system combines a sequence of extracted skeleton figures of the detected first person from the sequence of video images to form a skeleton sequence of the detected first person which depicts a continuous motion of the first person. The human-motion-data-managing system subsequently transmits the skeleton sequence to a server in place of the actual images of the first person to preserve the privacy of the first person.

  • Patent number: 12249115
    Abstract: A computational lithography process uses machine learning models. An aerial image produced by a lithographic mask is first calculated using a two-dimensional model of the lithographic mask. This first aerial image is applied to a first machine learning model, which infers a second aerial image. The first machine learning model was trained using a training set that includes aerial images calculated using a more accurate three-dimensional model of lithographic masks. The two-dimensional model is faster to compute than the three-dimensional model but it is less accurate. The first machine learning model mitigates this inaccuracy.
