  • Publication number: 20240404188
    Abstract: In accordance with the described techniques, a portrait relighting system receives user input defining one or more markings drawn on a portrait image. Using one or more machine learning models, the portrait relighting system generates an albedo representation of the portrait image by removing lighting effects from the portrait image. Further, the portrait relighting system generates a shading map of the portrait image using the one or more machine learning models by designating the one or more markings as a lighting condition, and applying the lighting condition to a geometric representation of the portrait image. The one or more machine learning models are further employed to generate a relit portrait image based on the albedo representation and the shading map.

  • Publication number: 20240404138
    Abstract: In accordance with the described techniques, an image delighting system receives an input image depicting a human subject that includes lighting effects. The image delighting system further generates a segmentation mask and a skin tone mask. The segmentation mask includes multiple segments each representing a different portion of the human subject, and the skin tone mask identifies one or more color values for a skin region of the human subject. Using a machine learning lighting removal network, the image delighting system generates an unlit image by removing the lighting effects from the input image based on the segmentation mask and the skin tone mask.

  • Patent number: 12107873
    Abstract: The invention discloses a blockchain-based intrusion detection system for railway signal, which is built on a blockchain's distributed chain structure, without a central, trusted control center. This design mitigates the vulnerabilities associated with centralized intrusion detection centers. Additionally, by utilizing a blockchain-based distributed structure, it also eliminates the risk of a single point of failure for the intrusion detection center. Moreover, the data within the blockchain-based intrusion detection system is highly resistant to malicious tampering. This is achieved by leveraging the consensus mechanism inherent in the blockchain, which can achieve consensus among intrusion detection nodes. The current invention solves the internal evil attacks and avoid the inability to reach consensus between nodes due to internal evil, thereby affecting the intrusion detection performance; at the same time, the intrusion detection model can resist external network attacks.

  • Publication number: 20240155356
    Abstract: Disclosed are a resolution method for intent-based wireless network resource conflicts and an apparatus thereof. The method includes the following steps: periodically acquiring configured resource information about a current wireless network; pre-allocating resources required for a newly-added intent; and determining whether a pre-allocated resource configuration policy is incompatible with a resource configuration policy being executed in a current network. The apparatus includes: an interface module; a solution module; a feedback module; and a storage module. Through the relative priority of intent requirements, a bias of an implementation satisfaction degree of a network configuration policy is determined, and network resource conflicts of intent requirements with different priorities are solved.
