  • Patent number: 11977589
    Abstract: An information search method is provided. The method includes: searching for webpages related to a search request through a search engine; extracting respective texts related to the search request from respective webpages and splicing the texts to obtain a spliced text; obtaining a text segment from the spliced text; and sending the obtained text segment to the search engine, to display the obtained text segment in an information search result through the search engine. The present disclosure can bring great advantages to the search engine in terms of user experience and interaction, and can satisfy user requirements for a function of an intelligent question and answer. Through present disclosure, it is beneficial to directly presenting a short text with higher relevance to the search request to the user, thereby saving time in screening information for the user.

  • Publication number: 20230245282
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for depth image completion using a depth image completion model, the method including obtaining an original color image and an original depth image corresponding to the original color image, obtaining a first depth image using a first neural network (NN) based on the original color image, obtaining a second depth image using a second NN based on the original depth image, and generating a final depth image by fusing the first depth image and the second depth image.

  • Publication number: 20230154173
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes: generating a first output of each of two or more layers of a teacher network, based on a first image; generating pseudo labels respectively corresponding to the first outputs, based on the first outputs; generating a second output using one or more layers of a student network comprising an output layer, based on the first image; generating prediction results respectively corresponding to the two or more layers of the teacher network, based on the second output; and training the student network by updating the student network based on the pseudo labels and the prediction results.

  • Publication number: 20220067950
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for complementing a depth image are provided. The method includes obtaining a color image and a corresponding depth image, obtaining a first depth image based on the color image, using a first deep neural network (DNN), obtaining a second depth image based on the depth image and an intermediate feature image generated by each intermediate layer of the first DNN, using a second DNN, and obtaining a final depth image by merging the first depth image and the second depth image.

  • Patent number: 9207780
    Abstract: A method involving: designating, based on an instruction received from a user, an area within an illumination field of a projector; using the projector to project a light encoded with coordinate information; receiving a content or a content information from the user; associating, using the processing unit, the designated area within an illumination field of the projector with the content or the content information received from the user; detecting the light encoded with the coordinate information using a mobile device positioned within the illumination field of the projector; determining a position of the mobile device within the illumination field of the projector based on the detected light encoded with the coordinate information; and causing, on condition that the determined position of the mobile device is within the designated area, the mobile device to display the content.
