  • Patent number: 11521044
    Abstract: Techniques regarding action detection based on motion in receptive fields of a neural network model are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a motion component that can extract a motion vector from a plurality of adaptive receptive fields in a deformable convolution layer of a neural network model. The computer executable components can also comprise an action detection component that can generate a spatio-temporal feature by concatenating the motion vector with a spatial feature extracted from the deformable convolution layer.

  • Publication number: 20220148284
    Abstract: A segmentation method and segmentation apparatus are provided, where the segmentation method includes receiving image frames comprising a current frame and an adjacent frame to the current frame, determining a feature map to aggregate the image frames based on temporal information between the current frame and the adjacent frame, extracting a feature of a region of interest (ROI) corresponding to instances included in the current frame from the feature map, predicting a class of an object corresponding to the ROI based on the feature of the ROI, and segmenting the instances by correcting an amodal mask predicted corresponding to the class of the object based on the feature of the ROI.

  • Patent number: 11282527
    Abstract: A method and processing system for validating an audio signal is disclosed. A valid audio signal is an audio signal that has been determined to originate from a microphone and has not been provided by a digital audio source. In some implementations, one or more speakers may generate a sequence of one or more subaudible tones. Simultaneously, a microphone near the one or more speakers captures an audio signal. If the captured audio signal includes the one or more subaudible tones from the speakers, then the audio signal is a validated.

  • Patent number: 10142697
    Abstract: Various enhanced interactive TV experiences are supported by a real-time TV service that can interact over a network with applications running on interactive TV platforms. The real-time television service enables data, video, and communication user interface (UI) elements to be supported alongside the linear TV content in three discrete navigational states, each with a specific role aligning to user intent. In the case of one particular UI element—a focused companion panel—a live stream of personalized data is supported that enhances the user's comprehension and awareness of live events. The real-time TV service can further enable users to opt in to certain customizable events and be served notifications on the TV screen on which their attention is directed, and follow the notification into an application that lands them on a specific piece of content that satisfies specific conditions.
