  • Publication number: 20240119653
    Abstract: Avatar animation systems disclosed herein provide high quality, real-time avatar animation that is based on the varying countenance of a human face. In some example embodiments, the real-time provision of high quality avatar animation is enabled, at least in part, by a multi-frame regressor that is configured to map information descriptive of facial expressions depicted in two or more images to information descriptive of a single avatar blend shape. The two or more images may be temporally sequential images. This multi-frame regressor implements a machine learning component that generates the high quality avatar animation from information descriptive of a subject's face and/or information descriptive of avatar animation frames previously generated by the multi-frame regressor.

  • Patent number: 10748281
    Abstract: A method and system of detecting abnormalities captured in a medical image are provided. A medical image is received having one or more lesions and one or more interferences. One or more convolution layers are applied to the medical image to create one or more feature maps, respectively. A region proposal network (RPN) is applied to each of the one or more feature maps to create a bounding box around each lesion and interference. For each bounding box, an object in the bounding box is classified as a lesion, an interference, or a background. Each object that is incorrectly classified as a lesion but determined to be an interference, is stored as a hard-negative example to be part of a training set for a next application of the RPN.
