  • Patent number: 12288417
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for extracting high resolution oculometric parameters. A video stream having a video of a face of a user is processed to obtain a set of oculometric parameters, such as eyelid data, iris data (e.g., iris translation, iris radius and iris rotation), and pupil data (e.g., pupil center and pupil radius) at a first resolution. A deconvolution process is performed on the video stream to improve accuracy or resolution of the oculometric parameters, based on stimulus information of a video stimulus displayed on a client device associated with the user, environment data of an environment in which the user is located, device data of the client device, etc. The oculometric parameters are then processed using a prediction model that is trained based on high resolution oculometric parameters obtained using eye tracking devices to predict oculometric parameters at a resolution greater than the first resolution.

  • Patent number: 12248319
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed that preserve rich spatial information from an input resolution of a machine learning model to regress on lines in an input image. The machine learning model may be trained to predict, in deployment, distances for each pixel of the input image at an input resolution to a line pixel determined to correspond to a line in the input image. The machine learning model may further be trained to predict angles and label classes of the line. An embedding algorithm may be used to train the machine learning model to predict clusters of line pixels that each correspond to a respective line in the input image. In deployment, the predictions of the machine learning model may be used as an aid for understanding the surrounding environment—e.g., for updating a world model—in a variety of autonomous machine applications.
