  • Patent number: 11966454
    Abstract: A neural network system implements a model for generating an output image based on a received input image. The model is learned through a training process during which parameters associated with the model are adjusted so as to maximize a difference between a first image predicted using first parameter values of the model and a second image predicted using second parameter values of the model, and to minimize a difference between the second image and a ground truth image. During a first iteration of the training process the first image is predicted and during a second iteration the second image is predicted. The first parameter values are obtained during the first iteration by minimizing a difference between the first image and the ground truth image, and the second parameter values are obtained during the second iteration by maximizing the difference between the first image and the second image.

  • Publication number: 20240118379
    Abstract: A sensing result feedback method, an apparatus, a device, and a medium are provided. In an example method, a sensing initiating device sends an indication about truncation and feedback of a time domain channel estimation and sensing sequence to a first sensing responding device. The first sensing responding device truncates the received time domain channel estimation and sensing sequence based on the indication, and feeds back the truncated time domain channel estimation and sensing sequence. Therefore, a sensing sender may perform channel estimation and target sensing based on the truncated time domain channel estimation and sensing sequence. In this manner, feedback overheads can be significantly reduced, and sensing performance can be ensured to some extent.

  • Patent number: 11948044
    Abstract: An automated checkout system modifies received images of machine-readable labels to improve the performance of a label detection model that the system uses to decode item identifiers encoded in the machine-readable labels. For example, the automated checkout system may transform subregions of an image of a machine-readable label to adjust for distortions in the image's depiction of the machine-readable label. Similarly, the automated checkout system may identify readable regions within received images of machine-readable labels and apply a label detection model to those readable regions. By modifying received images of machine-readable labels, these techniques improve on existing computer-vision technologies by allowing for the effective decoding of machine-readable labels based on real-world images using relatively clean training data.
