This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing cross-sensor predictive data analysis. In one example, a method for performing cross-sensor predictive data analysis includes identifying sensor input data objects comprising one or more image data objects; determining sensor feature data objects based on the sensor input data objects; generating predictions for a target predictive entity associated with the sensor input data objects by processing the sensor feature data objects using a cross-sensor predictive inference model; and performing prediction-based actions based on the cross-sensor predictions.

Abstract: A pulse wave detection device detects the face from a frame image and corrects the brightness of the face in accordance with the size of the face surface to appropriately detect a pulse wave even if brightness is changed due to movement of a subject with respect to lighting. The brightness of the face depends on the distance between the lighting and the face, and this is equal to indirect measurement of the distance from the lighting to the face using the size of the face. As described above, a pulse wave detecting device estimates/measures a pulse rate of the subject from a brightness signal after intensity of the brightness of the face photographed on the frame image is corrected using the size of the face, by using the correlation between the size of the face of the subject on the frame image and the brightness of the face.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide end-to-end frame time synchronization designed to improve smoothness for displaying images of 3D applications, such as PC gaming applications. Traditionally, an application that renders 3D graphics functions based on the assumption that the average render time will be used as the animation time for a given frame. When this condition is not met, and the render time for a frame does not match the average render time of prior frames, the frames are not captured or displayed at a consistent rate. This invention enables feedback to be provided to the rendering application for adjusting the animation times used to produce new frames, and a post-render queue is used to store completed frames for mitigating stutter and hitches. Flip control is used to sync the display of a rendered frame with the animation time used to generate the frame, thereby producing a smooth, consistent image.
