  • Patent number: 12041260
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry that decodes prediction information indicating a cross-component linear model (CCLM) mode being applied to a chroma block in a current picture. For a first region in the chroma block, the processing circuitry determines a first adjustment value used to modify an offset parameter in the CCLM mode based on a first subset of reconstructed samples in a luma block collocated with the chroma block. The first subset of the reconstructed samples does not include one or more samples in the luma block. The processing circuitry updates the offset parameter based on the first adjustment value. The processing circuitry determines a second adjustment value used to modify a slope parameter in the CCLM mode based on a second subset of the reconstructed samples in the luma block and updates the slope parameter based on the second adjustment value.

  • Patent number: 12036021
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-contact fatigue detection system and method based on rPPG. The system and method adopt multi-thread synchronous communication for real-time acquisition and processing of rPPG signal, enabling fatigue status detection. In this setup, the first thread handles real-time rPPG data capture, storage and concatenation, while the second thread conducts real-time analysis and fatigue detection of rPPG data. Through a combination of skin detection and LUV color space conversion, rPPG raw signal extraction is achieved, effectively eliminating interference from internal and external environmental facial noise; Subsequently, an adaptive multi-stage filtering process enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, and a multi-dimensional fusion CNN model ensures accurate detection of respiration and heart rate.
