  • Patent number: 12217402
    Abstract: A method is provided for enhancing image resolution for sequences of 2-D images of additively manufactured products. For each of a plurality of additive manufacturing processes, the process obtains a respective plurality of sequenced low-resolution 2-D images of a respective product during the respective additive manufacturing process and obtains a respective high-resolution 3-D image of the respective product after completion of the respective additive manufacturing process. The process selects tiling maps that subdivide the low-resolution 2-D images and the high-resolution 3-D images into low-resolution tiles and high-resolution tiles, respectively. The process also builds an image enhancement generator iteratively in a generative adversarial network using training inputs that includes ordered pairs of low-resolution and high-resolution tiles.

  • Publication number: 20240333941
    Abstract: Systems and methods for compression of video camera images include steps, or apparatus for executing steps, of receiving digital image frames from a video source, defining first and second regions within the received image frames, compressing the data from the two regions at different data storage rates, and storing the compressed data.
