  • Publication number: 20220051384
    Abstract: The scaled Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) method scales PSNR to 1.00 or 100% from infinite decibel values. The PSNR describes the ratio between the maximum possible value (power) of a signal and the power of signal's noise. Noise affects the quality of its representation. Signals dynamically fluctuate from the smallest to largest possible quantity. The unsettled range to maximum from minimum values of the noise is unknown. Therefore, the PSNR usually forms on a logarithmic way (log) of describing a ratio, the decibel (dB). The dB is able to gauge the level of power, communication signal (intensity or voltage), sound pressure, and intensity of several other items including images.

  • Publication number: 20210303923
    Abstract: An electronic device and method of dataset cleaning is provided. The electronic device receives a dataset comprising a plurality of samples, of which a first sample comprises a 2D image of an object of interest and a 3D shape model of the object of interest. The electronic device determines 2D landmarks from the 2D image and extracts 3D landmarks from the 3D shape model. The electronic device computes an error between the determined 2D landmarks and corresponding 2D locations of the extracted 3D landmarks on the 2D image, based on an error metric. Thereafter, the electronic device determines the computed error to be above a threshold. Based on the determination that the computed error is above the threshold, the electronic device updates the dataset by a removal of the first sample from the dataset and trains a neural network on a task of 3D reconstruction, based on the updated dataset.
