  • Patent number: 12749153
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains, on the basis of a magnetic resonance image, a plurality of shift images resulting from shifting the position of the pixel sampling grid of the magnetic resonance image by a plurality of mutually-different shift amounts. The processing circuitry generates a plurality of ringing-corrected images, by determining, with respect to each of the pixels included in each of the plurality of shift images, a shift amount from the position of the pixel to a position where ringing artifacts will be reduced and further performing a ringing correction to correct the ringing artifacts occurring in the shift images on the basis of the determined shift amounts. The processing circuitry combines, while interleaving, pixels included in each of the plurality of ringing-corrected images.

  • Patent number: 12711806
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining the presence of a particular person based on facial characteristics. For example, a device may include a first image in a reference set of images based on determining that a face shown in the first image is not covered by a face covering. A trained model of the device may determine a first set of characteristics from the first image, whereby the trained model is trained utilizing simulated face coverings to match a partially covered face of a particular person with a non-covered face of the particular person. The device may also determine a second set of characteristics associated with a face of a second person based on a second image. The trained model may then determine a score corresponding to a level of similarity between both sets of characteristics, and then determine whether the first person is the second person based on the score.
