Patent number: 11941841Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes running an initial network on a plurality of images to detect actors pictured therein and body joints of the detected actors. The method further includes running fully-connected networks in parallel, one fully-connected network for each of the detected actors, to reconstruct complete three-dimensional poses of the actors. Sequential model fitting is performed on the plurality of images. The sequential model fitting is based on results of running the initial network and the fully-connected networks. The method further includes determining, based on the sequential model fitting, a locational position for a camera in which the camera has a view of a possible point of collision of two or more of the actors. The camera is instructed to be positioned in the locational position.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yu-Siang Chen, Ching-Chun Liu, Ryan Young, Ting-Chieh Yu

Patent number: 11533518Abstract: A live stream, that includes a video stream and an audio stream, of a presenter is monitored. The live stream is attended by an audience that includes one or more audience members. One or more stream content features of the live stream at a first window of time is transmitted to a multimodal machine learning model. One or more audience content features of the audience at the first window of time is transferred to the multimodal model. One or more feature results, based on the stream content features and based on the audience content features, of the first window of time is obtained from the multimodal model. The feature results are sent to an auditory machine learning model. A first audio signal from the auditory machine learning model is received. An augmented stream of the first window of time is generated based on the first audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ching-Chun Liu, Ting-Chieh Yu, Yu-Siang Chen, Ryan Young
