  • Publication number: 20240078726
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing face swapping. The technique includes converting a first input image that depicts a first facial identity from a first viewpoint at a first time into a first latent representation and converting a second input image that depicts the first facial identity from a second viewpoint at the first time into a second latent representation. The technique also includes generating, via a first machine learning model, a first output image that depicts a second facial identity from the first viewpoint based on the first latent representation. The technique further includes generating, via the first machine learning model, a second output image that depicts the second facial identity from the second viewpoint based on the second latent representation.

  • Patent number: 10323590
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting spark plug fouling and cleaning up fouled spark plug during pre-delivery phase of a vehicle. In one example, a method may include updating a spark plug fouling index saved in the non-volatile memory of the vehicle based on engine operating parameters, and indicating spark plug fouling based on the updated index. The method may further include cleaning the fouled spark plug by driving the vehicle along a planned route.
