  • Patent number: 11941815
    Abstract: A system and a method for training a model to be used for semantic segmentation of images, comprising: a—obtaining (S01) a first plurality of foggy images (101), b—training (S02) a classification model for estimating fog density, c—classifying (S03) a second plurality of images (101) having light fog, d—obtaining (S04) a third plurality of foggy images (103) having light fog, e—training (S05) a semantic segmentation model using the third plurality of foggy images, f—applying (S06) the semantic segmentation model to the second plurality of foggy (102) images to obtain semantic segmentations (102?), g—obtaining (S07) a fourth plurality of foggy images (104) having dense fog, h—training (S08) using the previously obtained foggy images.

  • Publication number: 20230047017
    Abstract: A neural network, a system using this neural network and a method for training a neural network to output a description of the environment in the vicinity of at least one sound acquisition device on the basis of an audio signal acquired by the sound acquisition device, the method including: obtaining audio and image training signals of a scene showing an environment with objects generating sounds, obtaining a target description of the environment seen on the image training signal, inputting the audio training signal to the neural network so that the neural network outputs a training description of the environment, and comparing the target description of the environment with the training description of the environment.

  • Publication number: 20220284696
    Abstract: A system and a method for training a semantic segmentation model includes obtaining a plurality of sets of images each having an index z for visibility, iteratively training the model. Iteratively training the model includes (a) for each z above 1, obtaining preliminary semantic segmentation labels for each image of the set of images of index z?1 by applying the model to each image of the set of images of index z?1, (b) processing each preliminary semantic segmentation labels using semantic segmentation labels obtained using the model on a selected image of index 1, and obtaining processed semantic segmentation labels, (c) training the model using the set of images of index z?1 and the associated processed semantic segmentation labels, and (d) performing steps (a) to (c) for z+1.

  • Publication number: 20220262023
    Abstract: A depth maps prediction system comprising a neural network (1000) configured to receive images (I) of a scene at successive time steps (t?1, t, t+1, . . . ) and comprising three sub-networks: an encoder (100), a ConvLSTM (200) and a decoder (300). The neural network (1000) is configured so that at each time step: a) the encoder sub-network (100) processes an image (I) and outputs a low resolution initial image representation (X); b) the CONVLSTM sub-network (200) processes the initial image representation (X), values for a previous time step (t?1) of an internal state (C(t?1)) and of an LSTM hidden variable data (H(t?1)) of the ConvLSTM sub-network, and outputs updated values of the internal state (C(t)) and of the LSTM hidden variable data (H(t)); and c) the decoder sub-network (300) inputs the LSTM output data (LOD) and generates a predicted dense depth map (D?) for the inputted image (I).
