  • Publication number: 20230377339
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for generating temporally consistent manipulated videos. A method of generating temporally consistent manipulated videos comprises receiving a target appearance and an input digital video including a plurality of frames, generating a plurality of target appearance frames from the plurality of frames, training a video prediction network to generate a digital video wherein a subject of the digital video has its appearance modified to match the target appearance, providing the input digital video to the video prediction network, and generating, by the video prediction network, an output digital video wherein the subject of the output digital video has its appearance modified to match the target appearance.

  • Patent number: 11490048
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards reframing videos from one aspect ratio to another aspect ratio while maintaining visibility of regions of interest. A set of regions of interest are determined in frames in a video with a first aspect ratio. The set of regions of interest can be used to estimate an initial camera path. An optimal camera path is determined by leveraging the identified regions of interest using the initial camera path. Sub crops with a second aspect ratio different from the first aspect ratio of the video are identified. The sub crops are placed as designated using the optimal camera path to generate a cropped video with the second aspect ratio.

  • Publication number: 20220318420
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for a privacy sensitive computing system. One or more embodiments provide a protected computing environment, a code authorization unit, and a data aggregation unit. For example, some embodiments of the privacy sensitive computing system may train unsupervised or self-supervised ML models on user-generated assets subject to privacy considerations that mandate those assets are not viewed directly by human eyes.

  • Patent number: 10733452
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for determining brand safety of a video including image frames and audio content. In some embodiments, frame-level features, scene-level features, and video-level features are extracted by a set of frame-level models, a set of scene-level models, and a set of video-level models, respectively. Outputs from lower level models are used as inputs for higher level models. A brand safety score indicating whether it is safe to associate a brand with the video is determined based on the outputs from the set of video-level models. In some embodiments, commercial content associated with the brand is insert into the video that is determined to be safe for the brand.

  • Patent number: 4739187
    Abstract: A self-contained switch unit for controlling a remote illuminating lamp has, in a common housing, a main ON/OFF switch, and has an emergency signal ON/OFF switch in a common housing, and has a visible pilot lamp. The main ON/OFF switch controls the ON or OFF mode of the illuminating lamp. The emergency signal ON/OFF switch functions, when the main ON/OFF switch is in the ON mode, to cause the controlled illuminating lamp to flash as a signal. When the controlled lamp is lighted, the pilot lamp is dark. When the controlled lamp is dark, the pilot lamp is lighted. When the controlled lamp is in the flashing mode, the pilot lamp also is in a flashing mode.
