  • Publication number: 20220301290
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for improving accuracy of machine learning systems in facial recognition. The techniques include generating, from a training image comprising a plurality of pixels and labeled with a plurality of facial landmarks, one or more facial contour heatmaps, wherein each of the one or more facial contour heatmaps depicts an estimate of a location of one or more facial contours within the training image. Techniques further include training a machine learning model to process the one or more facial contour heatmaps to predict the location of the one or more facial contours within the training image, wherein training the machine learning model comprises applying a loss function to minimize a distance between the predicted location of the one or more facial contours within the training image and corresponding contour data generated from facial landmarks of the plurality of facial landmarks with which the training image is labeled.

  • Patent number: 11169541
    Abstract: A distance from an aerial vehicle to a terrain feature located forward and lower with respect to the aerial vehicle is measured. An orientation of the aerial vehicle with respect to a reference orientation is detected. At least the measured distance and the orientation of the aerial vehicle is utilized to determine a relative vertical difference between a vertical location of the aerial vehicle and a vertical location of the terrain feature. The determined relative vertical difference is utilized to automatically adjust a flight altitude of the aerial vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10991258
    Abstract: A specification of an expected border of a bounded area is received. One or more images of at least a portion of the bounded area that is at least a threshold distance away from the expected border are received to generate a model of the bounded area. A current location position of the aerial vehicle is used to determine that the aerial vehicle is within the threshold distance away from the expected border. In response, an updated expected border is determined using the generated model of the bounded area and a border image of at least a portion of the expected border captured by an image sensor.

    Abstract: Methods, computing devices, and computer-program products are provided for implementing a virtual personal assistant. In various implementations, a virtual personal assistant can be configured to receive sensory input, including at least two different types of information. The virtual personal assistant can further be configured to determine semantic information from the sensory input, and to identify a context-specific framework. The virtual personal assistant can further be configured to determine a current intent. Determining the current intent can include using the semantic information and the context-specific framework. The virtual personal assistant can further be configured to determine a current input state. Determining the current input state can include using the semantic information and one or more behavioral models. The behavioral models can include one or more interpretations of previously-provided semantic information.
