  • Publication number: 20210035272
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provide to perform automatic banding correction in captured images. For example, the methods receive from a plurality of sensing elements in a sensor array, first image data captured with a first exposure parameter, and second image data captured with a second exposure parameter. The methods partition first image data and second image data and determine values for each partition. The methods compute banding errors based on the determined values of the partitions for first image data and second image data. The methods also determine a banding error correction to one or more of first image data and second image data based on the banding errors. Further, the methods perform an automatic correction of the banding errors on one or more of first image data and second image based on the banding error correction.

  • Publication number: 20210005182
    Abstract: Audio signals of speech may be processed using an acoustic model. An acoustic model may be implemented with multiple streams of processing where different streams perform processing using different dilation rates. For example, a first stream may process features of the audio signal with one or more convolutional neural network layers having a first dilation rate, and a second stream may process features of the audio signal with one or more convolutional neural network layers having a second dilation rate. Each stream may compute a stream vector, and the stream vectors may be combined to a vector of speech unit scores, where the vector of speech unit scores provides information about the acoustic content of the audio signal. The vector of speech unit scores may be used for any appropriate application of speech, such as automatic speech recognition.

  • Publication number: 20200382426
    Abstract: This application discloses a method for controlling traffic in a packet-based network. In the method, after receiving a control packet from a transmit end, an intermediate node between the transmit end and the receive end sends a control packet at the head of a first control queue based on first duration, wherein the first duration is obtained based on a committed burst size (CBS) and a first committed information rate (CIR), and the intermediate node is configured to send a packet of a first transmit end to a first receive end in the packet-based network. After sending the control packet in the control queue, the intermediate node sends a first data packet set at the head of a data queue based on the sent control packet, wherein the first data packet set comprises C data packets, and C is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
