  • Patent number: 12260626
    Abstract: A method for re-recognizing an object image is provided based on multi-feature information capture and correlation analysis weights of an input feature map by using a convolutional layer with a spatial attention mechanism and a channel attention mechanism, causing channel and spatial information to effectively combined, which not only focus on an important feature and suppress an unnecessary feature, but also improve a representation of a feature. A multi-head attention mechanism is used to process a feature after an image is divided into blocks to capture abundant feature information and determine a correlation between features to improve performance and efficiency of object image retrieval. The convolutional layer with the channel attention mechanism and the spatial attention mechanism is combined with a transformer having the multi-head attention mechanism to focus on globally important features and capture fine-grained features, thereby improving performance of re-recognition.

  • Publication number: 20250007600
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to address issues related to the computation of channel state information (CSI) and angular spectrum (AS) to perform beamforming. The CSI and AS, as well as various statistical channel parameters of a wireless channel, may be computed using different techniques, which include the use of domain knowledge enhanced neural networks (DKE-NNs). The CSI and AS may be further utilized to perform beamforming using various techniques. One of these techniques may include the implementation of eigen beamforming, which provides artificially generated power at locations within the AS that are identified with estimated eigenvector beam locations. As a result of the artificially-generated power, the resulting vector decomposition used to provide the beamforming weights results in widened eigenvector beams.
