Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for realistic head turns and face animation synthesis. An example method includes receiving a source frame of a source video, where the source frame includes a head and a face of a source actor, generating source pose parameters corresponding to a pose of the head and a facial expression of the source actor; receiving a target image including a target head and a target face of a target person, determining target identity information associated with the target head and the target face of the target person, replacing source identity information in the source pose parameters with the target identity information to obtain further source pose parameters, and generating an output frame of an output video that includes a modified image of the target face and the target head adopting the pose of the head and the facial expression of the source actor.

Abstract: Augmented reality eyepiece systems for surgical microscopes and associated methods are disclosed. An example augmented reality eyepiece can include a processor configured to generate a signal based on image data pertaining to a field of view of a surgical microscope and an eyepiece configured to integrate with the surgical microscope. The eyepiece can include an image generation module configured to generate an image based on the data signal, an image combiner configured to combine the image generated by the image generation module with light received from the field of view to create a combined image, and visualization optics configured to present the combined image to an eye of a user of the surgical microscope.

Abstract: Systems and methods for locating network errors. The system includes a plurality of host nodes in a network of host nodes and intermediary nodes, and a database storing route data for each of a plurality of host node pairs. The system includes a controller configured to identify a subject intermediary node to investigate for network errors and select, using route data stored in the database, a set of target probe paths. Each target probe path includes a respective pair of host nodes separated by a network path including at least one target intermediary node, which is either the subject intermediary node or an intermediary node that is a next-hop neighbor of the subject intermediary node. The controller is configured to test each target probe path in the set of target probe paths and to determine, based on a result of the testing, an operational status of the subject intermediary node.
