Patent number: 11961300Abstract: A method of classifying a media includes receiving a media file and extracting therefrom first and second data streams including first and second media content, respectively, the media content being associated with the media item. First and second feature vectors describing the first and second media content, respectively, are generated. At least a first single feature vector representing the first sequence of first feature vectors and the second sequence of second feature vectors is generated, or at least a first single feature vector representing at least the first sequence of first feature vectors is generated. A second feature vector representing at least the second sequence of second feature vectors is generated. A probability vector from the first single feature vector, or from the first and second single feature vectors is generated. A user profile suitability class is assigned to the media item based on the probability vector.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL)Inventors: Gabriel Autès, Sami Arpa, Sabine Süsstrunk

Patent number: 11232609Abstract: A method of displaying an image on a see-through display comprises: obtaining a first electro-magnetic radiation matrix of radiation intensity values of an object; dividing the first matrix into a second matrix representing a first subset of the radiation intensity values, and a third matrix representing a second subset of the radiation intensity values; generating a first grayscale image with an enhanced contrast representing the first subset of the radiation intensity values from the second matrix; colouring the first grayscale image with a first colourmap to obtain a first colour image; generating a second grayscale image representing the second subset of the radiation intensity values; colouring the second grayscale image with a second colourmap to obtain a second colour image; combining the first colour image and the second colour image; and displaying the combined colour image on the see-through display.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE (EPFL)Inventors: Adrien Birbaumer, Martinus Bosch, Jason Racine, Sabine Süsstrunk

Patent number: 10593125Abstract: We disclose a method for synthesizing by computer an artwork where 2D and 3D contents are integrated within a same composition. Such an artwork creates plausible effects for the viewers by showing a different relationship between 2D and 3D at each viewing angle. Methods are proposed for ensuring the continuity between the 2D and the 3D parts in terms of mesh geometry and reflected colors. The user selects from a given scene a region of interest (ROI) to be reproduced in 3D. A flat rendering grid is created that matches the topology and tesselation of the ROI. The ROI is attached to the rendering grid. To enhance the continuity between the 2D and the 3D parts of a scene object, the 2D part of the object can be represented as bas-relief. Designers can create 2D-3D sculpture paintings for decoration, exhibitions, and homes.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Ecole Polytechnique Fėdérale de Lausanne (EPFL)Inventors: Sami Arpa, Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger D.

Publication number: 20190297298Abstract: We present a method for hiding images in synthetic videos and reveal them by temporal averaging. We developed a visual masking method that hides the input image both spatially and temporally. Our masking approach consists of temporal and spatial pixel by pixel temporal variations of the frequency band coefficients representing the image to be hidden. These variations ensure that the target image remains invisible. In addition, by applying a temporal expansion function derived from a dither matrix, we allow the video to carry a visible message that is different from the hidden image. The image hidden in the video can be revealed by software averaging, or with a camera, by long exposure photography. The method finds applications in the secure transmission of digital information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Sami ARPA, Sabine SÜSSTRUNK, Roger D.

Patent number: 8462238Abstract: The present invention aims to capture two images simultaneously in the visible part of the spectrum and a NIR image. This is achieved through a camera for simultaneously capturing a visible and near-infrared image by at least a sensor producing sensor response data and having at least one color filter array (CFA) comprising at least four different filters, said color filter array having visible and near-infrared light filters, and said camera comprising means to obtain a visible image while using the sensor response data from the visible part of the spectrum and a NIR image using the sensor response data from the near-infrared part of the spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Ecole Polytechnique Fëdërale de Lausanne (EPFL)Inventors: Clément Fredembach, Yue Lu, Sabine Süsstrunk
