  • Patent number: 11978245
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for generating an image. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: acquiring at least two frames of facial images extracted from a target video; and inputting the at least two frames of facial images into a pre-trained generative model to generate a single facial image. The generative model updates a model parameter using a loss function in a training process, and the loss function is determined based on a probability of the single facial generative image being a real facial image and a similarity between the single facial generative image and a standard facial image. According to this embodiment, authenticity of the single facial image generated by the generative model may be enhanced, and then a quality of a facial image obtained based on the video is improved.

  • Patent number: 11968372
    Abstract: A system and methods for a CODEC driving a real-time light field display for multi-dimensional video streaming, interactive gaming and other light field display applications is provided applying a layered scene decomposition strategy. Multi-dimensional scene data is divided into a plurality of data layers of increasing depths as the distance between a given layer and the plane of the display increases. Data layers are sampled using a plenoptic sampling scheme and rendered using hybrid rendering, such as perspective and oblique rendering, to encode light fields corresponding to each data layer. The resulting compressed, (layered) core representation of the multi-dimensional scene data is produced at predictable rates, reconstructed and merged at the light field display in real-time by applying view synthesis protocols, including edge adaptive interpolation, to reconstruct pixel arrays in stages (e.g. columns then rows) from reference elemental images.
