  • Patent number: 11476004
    Abstract: A system for establishing a model for cardiac ventricular hypertrophy (VH) screening includes a storage and a processor. The storage stores multiple pieces of subject data respectively associated with multiple subjects. Each of the pieces of subject data contains a basic physiological parameter group, an electrocardiographic parameter group, and an actual VH condition that corresponds to a left or right ventricle of the subject associated with the piece of subject data. The processor is electrically connected to the storage, splits the pieces of subject data into a training set and a test set, and establishes the model for VH screening based on the pieces of subject data in the training set by using machine learning techniques.

  • Patent number: 11451709
    Abstract: A processor performing postprocessing obtains an input image containing both bright and dark regions. The processor obtains a threshold between a first pixel value of the virtual production display and a second pixel value of the virtual production display. The processor modifies the region according to predetermined steps producing a pattern unlikely to occur within the input image, where the pattern corresponds to a difference between the original pixel value and the threshold. The processor can replace the region of the input image with the pattern to obtain a modified image. The virtual production display can present the modified image. A processor performing postprocessing detects the pattern within the modified image displayed on the virtual production display. The processor calculates the original pixel value of the region by reversing the predetermined steps. The processor replaces the pattern in the modified image with the original pixel value.

  • Patent number: 11450030
    Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress and encode data for a three-dimensional mesh using a video encoding technique. To compress the three-dimensional mesh, the encoder determines sub-meshes and for each sub-mesh: texture patches and geometry patches. Also the encoder determines patch connectivity information and patch texture coordinates for the texture patches and geometry patches. The texture patches and geometry patches are packed into video image frames and encoded using a video codec. Additionally, the encoder determines boundary stitching information for the sub-meshes. A decoder receives a bit stream as generated by the encoder and reconstructs the three-dimensional mesh.
