  • Publication number: 20190294931
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training a generative ensemble network to generate image data in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for generating an image through an ensemble network architecture. The method includes steps for passing a set of one or more images through a single standard convolution layer that acts as a root node to produce a first output and passing the first output through a plurality of branches to produce a plurality of outputs for the plurality of branches. Each branch is a separate and independent network that receives input from the single standard convolution layer. The method further includes steps for passing the plurality of outputs through a supervisor layer that combines the plurality of outputs into a final solution.

  • Patent number: 10424087
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing convolutional neural network based image synthesis using localized loss functions is disclosed. A first image including desired content and a second image including a desired style are received. The images are analyzed to determine a local loss function. The first and second images are merged using the local loss function to generate an image that includes the desired content presented in the desired style. Similar processes can also be utilized to generate image hybrids and to perform on-model texture synthesis. In a number of embodiments, Condensed Feature Extraction Networks are also generated using a convolutional neural network previously trained to perform image classification, where the Condensed Feature Extraction Networks approximates intermediate neural activations of the convolutional neural network utilized during training.

  • Patent number: 10246307
    Abstract: Brackets having a base and an arm. The base can be connected to a rear window hinge support of a hardtop with the hinge bolts used to secure a rear window hinge. The base has slots that provide for an increased flexibility of bolt patterns or widths. The top of the slots are open with necks to allow for easy insertion and removal of the brackets without removal of the rear window and allows the brackets to be used with multiple models. The base has a central void. An arm having an eye upstands from the base. A relief is provided at the area where the arm is connected to the base. Two brackets (a left and a right bracket) are secured to a hardtop before use. A hoist or lift can connect to the eyes to facilitate removal and storage of the hardtop.
