One or more parameters of a parametric model are then adjusted based on the regions of the point cloud identified as corresponding to the human subject. The adjusted parametric model is then used to generate a 3D reconstruction of the human subject; where the parametric model provides an estimate for points in the point cloud corresponding to the occluded parts of the human subject. A corresponding system is also provided.

Abstract: A cyber security risk assessment system is described. In an example implementation, the system may generate an input feature space including data associated with a computing system by collecting the data from a plurality of computer sources. The system may compute a likelihood of data-security breach incidents based on the input feature space using a first computer model, recognize events based on the input feature space using a second computer model, and determine a severity of the data-security breach incident or the event using a third computer model. In some instances, the system may generate risk factor scores based on the determined severity, data-security breach incident, and the event, where the risk factor scores indicate a computer security risk of a certain computer security aspect of the computing system. The system may then perform an action based on the risk factor scores.
