  • Patent number: 11967096
    Abstract: A depth estimation from focus method and system includes receiving input image data containing focus information, generating an intermediate attention map by an AI model, normalizing the intermediate attention map into a depth attention map via a normalization function, and deriving expected depth values for the input image data containing focus information from the depth attention map. The AI model for depth estimation can be trained unsupervisedly without ground truth depth maps. The AI model of some embodiments is a shared network estimating a depth map and reconstructing an AiF image from a set of images with different focus positions.

  • Patent number: 10885241
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating output of a simulation model in a simulation system are described. In an example, a processor may retrieve observed output data from a memory. The observed output data may be generated based on a simulation operator of a simulation model. The processor may further optimize a generalization error of a distance measure between the observed output data and model output data. The model output data may be generated based on a high-fidelity operator. The processor may further determine a correction operator based on the optimized generalization error of the distance measure. The processor may further append the correction operator to the simulation operator to produce a supplemented operator. The processor may further generate supplemented output data by applying the simulation model with the supplemented operator on a set of inputs.
