  • Publication number: 20210400101
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for artificially generating a revoiced media stream are provided. In one implementation, a system may receive a media stream including an individual with particular voice speaking in an origin language. The system may obtain a transcript of the media stream including utterances spoken in the origin language and translate the transcript to a target language. The translated transcript may include a set of words in the target language for each of at least some of the utterances spoken in the origin language. The system may analyze the media stream to determine a voice profile for the individual. Thereafter, the system may determine a synthesized voice for a virtual entity intended to dub the individual that is similar to the particular voice. Then, the system may generate a revoiced media stream in which the translated transcript in the target language is spoken by the virtual entity.

  • Patent number: 10970796
    Abstract: Systems and methods for hybrid processing of construction site images are provided. For example, image data captured from a construction site using at least one image sensor may be obtained. The image data may be analyzed to attempt to recognize an object depicted in the image data.
