  • Patent number: 11983906
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting a target set of pixels are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method may include obtaining target content. The target content may include a target set of pixels to be predicted. The method may also include convolving the target set of pixels to generate an estimated set of pixels. The method may include matching a second set of pixels in the target content to the target set of pixels. The second set of pixels may be within a distance from the target set of pixels. The method may include refining the estimated set of pixels to generate a refined set of pixels using a second set of pixels in the target content.

  • Publication number: 20230353765
    Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for lossless compression utilizing probabilistic circuits (PCs) are provided. In one embodiments, a method for lossless compression using PCs is provided, the method comprising: receiving image data comprising a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the plurality of pixels is represented by a variable; sequentially compressing the variables one-by-one using conditional probabilities, wherein the conditional probabilities are computed by: calculating at least one marginal; initially setting to 1 a probability p(n) for every PC unit n; defining an evali for a set of PC units n that need to be evaluated in an ith iteration; and for i=1 to a dataset D, evaluating PC units n in evali using a bottom-up process and computing a target probability; and generating a bitstream using a streaming code for the compressed variables using the conditional probabilities.

  • Patent number: 11080835
    Abstract: A process receives, with a processor, video content. Further, the process splices, with the processor, the video content into a plurality of video frames. In addition, the process splices, with the processor, at least one of the plurality of video frames into a plurality of image patches. Moreover, the process performs, with a neural network, an image reconstruction of at least one of the plurality of image patches to generate a reconstructed image patch. The process also compares, with the processor, the reconstructed image patch with the at least one of the plurality of image patches. Finally, the process determines, with the processor, a pixel error within the at least one of the plurality of image patches based on a discrepancy between the reconstructed image patch and the at least one of the plurality of image patches.
