  • Patent number: 11830481
    Abstract: Methods are performed by one or more processing devices for correcting prosody in audio data. A method includes operations for accessing subject audio data in an audio edit region of the audio data. The subject audio data in the audio edit region potentially lacks prosodic continuity with unedited audio data in an unedited audio portion of the audio data. The operations further include predicting, based on a context of the unedited audio data, phoneme durations including a respective phoneme duration of each phoneme in the unedited audio data. The operations further include predicting, based on the context of the unedited audio data, a pitch contour comprising at least one respective pitch value of each phoneme in the unedited audio data. Additionally, the operations include correcting prosody of the subject audio data in the audio edit region by applying the phoneme durations and the pitch contour to the subject audio data.

  • Publication number: 20230008015
    Abstract: Aspects described herein provide sensor data stream processing for enabling camera/radar sensor fusion, with application to road user detection in the context of Autonomous Driving/Assisted Driving (ADAS). In particular, a scheme to extract Region-of-Interests (ROI) from a high-resolution, high-dimensional radar data cube that can then be transmitted to a sensor fusion unit is described. The ROI scheme allows to extract relevant information, thus reducing the latency and data transmission rate to the sensor fusion module, without trading-off accuracy and detection rates. The sensor data stream processing comprises receiving a first data stream from a radar sensor, forming a point cloud by extracting 3D points from the 3D data cube, performing clustering on the point cloud in order to identify high-density regions representing one or ROIs, and extracting one or more 3D bounding boxes from the 3D data cube corresponding to the one or more ROIs and classifying each ROI.
