  • Patent number: 11423616
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system may access an input image of an object captured by cameras, and the input image depicts appearance information associated with an object. The system may generate a first mesh of the object based on features identified from the input image of the object. The system may generate, by processing the first mesh using a machine-learning model, a position map that defines a contour of the object. Each pixel in the position map corresponds to a three-dimensional coordinate. The system may further generate a second mesh based on the position map, wherein the second mesh has a higher resolution than the first mesh. The system may render an output image of the object based on the second mesh. The system disclosed in the present application can render a dense mesh which has a higher resolution to provide details which cannot be compensated by texture information.

  • Patent number: 10061986
    Abstract: There is provided a system comprising a memory and a processor configured to receive a media content depicting an activity, extract a first plurality of features from a first segment of the media content, make a first prediction that the media content depicts a first activity based on the first plurality of features, wherein the first prediction has a first confidence level, extract a second plurality of features from a second segment of the media content, the second segment temporally following the first segment in the media content, make a second prediction that the media content depicts the first activity based on the second plurality of features, wherein the second prediction has a second confidence level, determine that the media content depicts the first activity based on the first prediction and the second prediction, wherein the second confidence level is at least as high as the first confidence level.
