  • Patent number: 11948360
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for selecting a frame of video content that is representative of a media title. The technique includes applying an embedding model to a plurality of faces included in a set of frames of the video content to generate a plurality of face embeddings. The technique also includes aggregating the plurality of face embeddings into a plurality of clusters representing a plurality of characters included in the media title. The technique further includes computing a plurality of prominence scores for the plurality of characters based on one or more attributes of the plurality of clusters, and selecting, from the set of frames, a frame of video content as representative of the media title based on one or more prominence scores for one or more characters included in the frame.

  • Publication number: 20230245281
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique, which includes dividing an input image into a first partial image that stores a first subset of bits in each pixel of the input image and a second partial image that stores a second subset of bits that is disjoint from the first subset of bits in each pixel of the input image. The technique also includes modifying a first set of pixels in the first partial image to generate a first partial image processing result and modifying a second set of pixels in the second partial image to generate a second partial image processing result. The technique further includes generating a combined image processing result based on a combination of the first partial image processing result and the second partial image processing result.
