  • Publication number: 20240119570
    Abstract: A method includes identifying, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, a spatially-variant point spread function associated with an under-display camera. The spatially-variant point spread function is based on an optical transmission model and a layout of a display associated with the under-display camera. The method also includes generating, using the at least one processing device, a ground truth image. The method further includes performing, using the at least one processing device, a convolution of the ground truth image based on the spatially-variant point spread function in order to generate a synthetic sensor image. The synthetic sensor image represents a simulated image captured by the under-display camera. In addition, the method includes providing, using the at least one processing device, the synthetic sensor image and the ground truth image as an image pair to train a machine learning model to perform under-display camera point spread function inversion.

  • Publication number: 20240112545
    Abstract: In one aspect, an electronic gaming system that includes at least one memory device with instructions stored thereon, and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory device, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to display a game interface including a game matrix and generate a game outcome of a base game comprising a plurality of displayed symbols within the game matrix. The displayed symbols include at least a first symbol and a second symbol. If a wild symbol is displayed on a spin, a counter configured to track a number of displayed wild symbols over a predetermined period of time is incremented.

  • Patent number: 11619005
    Abstract: A seamed press felt formed from a base fabric having a CD width and an MD length with two opposing MD ends that are joined to form a continuous belt. MD oriented yarns form uniform loops at the two opposing MD ends that are interdigitated to define a pintle channel extending across the CD width. CD oriented yarns are connected to the MD oriented yarns, in a woven or non-woven construction. Loop open spaces are located within the loops on each of the two opposing MD ends in a seam region, with the loop open spaces being defined between a last one of the CD yarns at each of the two opposing MD ends and the pintle channel. At least one CD monofilament support yarn is located in the loop open spaces on each of the two opposing MD ends. The at least one CD monofilament support yarn has a diameter that is at least 1.6 times a diameter of the CD oriented yarns. A pintle extends through the pintle channel to form a seam.
