Abstract: A method for user command-guided editing of an initial textured 3D morphable model of an object comprising: obtaining the initial textured 3D morphable model of the object comprising an initial texture map and an initial 3D mesh model of the object; and determining an edited texture map of the object corresponding to the user command by editing the initial texture map of the object based on a first artificial neural network; and/or determining an edited 3D mesh model of the object corresponding to the user command by editing the initial 3D mesh model of the object based on a second artificial neural network; and generating an edited textured 3D morphable model of the object corresponding to the user command based on the edited texture map of the object and/or the edited 3D mesh model of the object.

Abstract: A computer that identifies a fake image is described. During operation, the computer receives an image. Then, the computer performs analysis on the image to determine a signature that includes multiple features. Based at least in part in the determined signature, the computer classifies the image as having a first signature associated with the fake image or as having a second signature associated with a real image, where the first signature corresponds to a finite resolution of a neural network that generated the fake image, a finite number of parameters in the neural network that generated the fake image, or both. For example, the finite resolution may correspond to floating point operations in the neural network. Moreover, in response to the classification, the computer may perform a remedial action, such as providing a warning or a recommendation, or performing filtering.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system accesses a three-dimensional (3D) model of an environment, the 3D model comprising a virtual representation of an object in the environment. The computing system accesses an image of the object captured by a camera from a camera pose. The computing system accesses light source parameters associated with a virtual representation of a light source in the environment. The computing system renders, using the 3D model, pixels associated with the virtual representation of the object based on the light source parameters, the pixels being rendered from a virtual perspective corresponding to the camera pose. The computing system determines updated light source parameters based on a comparison of the rendered pixels to corresponding pixels located in the image of the object.

Abstract: To provide a brake lining for a disc brake of a vehicle, in which at least one friction lining element is arranged movably relative to the backing plate and to this end the at least one friction lining element is arranged on the backing plate by means of a spring system, with a particularly favourable force-deflection behaviour, a high degree of damping and a stable thermal behaviour, it is proposed for the spring system to have a plurality of spring elements or to consist of a plurality of spring elements.

Abstract: To improve a brake lining for a disc brake of a vehicle, having a backing plate and a plurality of friction lining elements arranged movably relative to the backing plate, such that brake squealing can be largely avoided and at the same time additional wear owing to ice and abrasive particles resulting from winter conditions is counteracted, it is proposed for a spring system between the backing plate and the friction lining elements to be designed such that, during brake operation and owing to a resulting lining pressure force on the friction lining elements, a contact force between at least two adjacent friction lining elements is increased.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for tracking a human face in a target video includes obtaining target video data of a human face; and estimating parameters of a target human face model, based on the target video data. A first subset of the parameters represents a geometric shape and a second subset of the parameters represents an expression of the human face. At least one of the estimated parameters is modified in order to obtain new parameters of the target human face model, and output video data are generated based on the new parameters of the target human face model and the target video data.
