The training comprises obtaining a plurality of training images and data items. For each training image, a first watermark is generated using an encoder and a subsequent second watermark is generated by tiling two or more first watermarks. The training image is watermarked using the second watermark to generate a first error value and distortions are added to the watermarked image. A distortion detector predicts the distortions based on which the distorted image is modified. The modified image is decoded by the decoder to generate a predicted data item and a second error value. The training parameters of the encoder and decoder are adjusted based on the first and the second error value.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for recognizing facial expressions based on adversarial elimination. First, a facial expression recognition network is built based on a deep convolutional neural network. On a natural facial expression data set, the facial expression recognition network is trained through a loss function to make facial expression features easier to distinguish. Then some key features of input images are actively eliminated by using an improved confrontation elimination method to generate a new data set to train new networks with different weight distributions and feature extraction capabilities, forcing the network to perform expression classification discrimination based on more features, which reduces the influence of interference factors such as occlusion on the network recognition accuracy rate, and improving the robustness of the facial expression recognition network.

Abstract: Example embodiments allow for training of encoders (e.g., artificial neural networks (ANNs)) to facilitate dithering of images that have been subject to quantization in order to reduce the number of colors and/or size of the images. Such a trained encoder generates a dithering image from an input quantized image that can be combined, by addition or by some other process, with the quantized image to result in a dithered output image that exhibits reduced banding or is otherwise aesthetically improved relative to the un-dithered quantized image. The use of a trained encoder to facilitate dithering of quantized images allows the dithering to be performed in a known period of time using a known amount of memory, in contrast to alternative iterative dithering methods. Additionally, the trained encoder can be differentiable, allowing it to be part of a deep learning image processing pipeline or other machine learning pipeline.

A watermark detection apparatus determines whether the particular image includes a visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark using detector a machine learning model. If the watermark detection apparatus detects a watermark, the particular image is routed to a watermark decoder. If the watermark detection apparatus cannot detect a watermark in the particular image, the particular image is filtered from further processing. The watermark decoder decodes the visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark detected in the particular image. After decoding, an item depicted in the particular image is validated based data extracted from the decoded visually imperceptible or perceptible watermark.
