  • Publication number: 20230306637
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image dense field based view calibration are provided. In one embodiment, an input image is applied to a dense field machine learning model that generates a vertical vector dense field (VVF) and a latitude dense field (LDF) from the input image. The VVF comprises a vertical vector of a projected vanishing point direction for each of the pixels of the input image. The latitude dense field (LDF) comprises a projected latitude value for the pixels of the input image. A dense field map for the input image comprising the VVF and the LDF can be directly or indirectly used for a variety of image processing manipulations. The VVF and LDF can be optionally used to derive traditional camera calibration parameters from uncontrolled images that have undergone undocumented or unknown manipulations.

  • Patent number: 10733431
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system may access first, second, and third probability models that are respectively associated with predetermined first and second body parts and a predetermined segment connecting the first and second body parts. Each model includes probability values associated with regions in an image, with each value representing the probability of the associated region containing the associated body part or segment. The system may select a first and second region based on the first probability model and a third region based on the second probability model. Based on the third probability model, the system may compute a first probability score for regions connecting the first and third regions and a second probability score for regions connecting the second and third regions. Based on the first and second probability scores, the system may select the first region to indicate where the predetermined first body part appears in the image.
