  • Patent number: 11961242
    Abstract: A target tracking method is provided for a computer device. The method includes determining a target candidate region of a current image frame; capturing a target candidate image matching the target candidate region from the current image frame; determining a target region of the current image frame according to an image feature of the target candidate image; determining motion prediction data of a next image frame relative to the current image frame by using a motion prediction model and according to the image feature of the target candidate image; and determining a target candidate region of the next image frame according to the target region and the motion prediction data.

  • Patent number: 11915514
    Abstract: This application relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting facial key points, a computer device, and a storage medium including: acquiring a to-be-detected face image from a current frame; determining partial images in the to-be-detected face image, each partial image including one or more facial key points; determining, within each of the partial images, candidate points of the one or more facial key points corresponding to the partial image, respectively; and jointly constraining the candidate points in the partial images to determine a set of facial key points from the candidate points for the to-be-detected face image. For the partial images in the entire to-be-detected face image, the candidate points of the facial key points corresponding to the partial images are respectively determined. Therefore, a calculation amount may be reduced, and the efficiency of determining the candidate points of the facial key points is improved.

  • Patent number: 11200404
    Abstract: This application relates to feature point positioning technologies. The technologies involve positioning a target area in a current image; determining an image feature difference between a target area in a reference image and the target area in the current image, the reference image being a frame of image that is processed before the current image and that includes the target area; determining a target figure point location of the target area in the reference image; determining a target feature point location difference between the target area in the reference image and the target area in the current image according to a feature point location difference determining model and the image feature difference; and positioning a target feature point in the target area in the current image according to the target feature point location of the target area in the reference image and the target feature point location difference.
