  • Publication number: 20250055988
    Abstract: A temporal sequence of pictures is generated in a method for encoding of a first video stream. To do so, a synchronization signal can be used, which can be derived from a second video stream independently of the first video stream. Alternatively, the encoding of a second video stream independent of the first video stream can be based on the same principle as for the encoding of the first video stream.

  • Patent number: 11900646
    Abstract: Methods for generating a deep neural net and for localizing an object in an input image, the deep neural net, a corresponding computer program product, and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium are provided. A discriminative counting model is trained to classify images according to a number of objects of a predetermined type depicted in each of the images, and a segmentation model is trained to segment images by classifying each pixel according to what image part the pixel belongs to. Parts and/or features of both models are combined to form the deep neural net. The deep neural net is adapted to generate, in a single forward pass, a map indicating locations of any objects for each input image.

  • Patent number: 11126894
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to analysing an image. An artificial deep neural net is pre-trained to classify images into a hierarchical system of multiple hierarchical classes. The pre-trained neural net is then adapted for one specific class, wherein the specific class is lower in the hierarchical system than an actual class of the image. The image is then processed by a forward pass through the adapted neural net to generate a processing result. An image processing algorithm is then used to analyse the processing result focused on features corresponding to the specific class.

  • Patent number: 11055580
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for analyzing an image using a deep neural net pre-trained for multiple classes. The image is processed by a forward pass through an adapted neural net to generate a processing result. The adapted neural net is adapted from the pre-trained neural net to focus on exactly one selected class. The processing result is then analyzed focused on features corresponding to the selected class using an image processing algorithm. A modified image is generated by removing a manifestation of these features from the image.

  • Patent number: 10432967
    Abstract: Functional data structure for coding a set of digital images. Each of the images is compressed into at least-one first data stream portion, which comprises a portion of the macroblocks reduced by physical redundancies, and-one second data stream portion, which describes the redundancies. For the intraprediction macroblocks, the first data stream portion can be reduced by color value statements with correlations to color values from rows of pixels outside and at one edge of the intraprediction macroblock and for which, in the case of pixels outside the compressed image, a color value default is assumed. The second data stream can comprise intrapredictors for describing the correlations, with coding of an area which is divided into first areas, each of which is occupied by the macroblocks of one of the digital images, and a second area which spaces apart the first areas and is occupied by default color value pixels.
