  • Publication number: 20220198693
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an image processing method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes obtaining a first reference image and a second reference image of a reference object. The method further includes determining a first constraint and a second constraint based on the first reference image and the second reference image. The first constraint is related to a difference between different depth maps of the same reference images, and the second constraint is related to a depth consistency of different reference images. The method further includes training a depth estimation model at least based on the first constraint and the second constraint. In this way, an obtained trained depth estimation model may provide more accurate depth information.

  • Publication number: 20220192273
    Abstract: A release control method for volatile compounds in an electric heating smoking system includes steps of powering the at least a heating element with a constant electric current as a test electric current, measuring a voltage value of two ends of the element under the test electric current, comparing the measured voltage value with a preset voltage threshold value, and adjusting power energy supplied to the heating element so that the measured voltage value of the heating element under the test electric current is kept less than the preset voltage threshold value. By the above control method, only voltage values under constant electric currents are tested and measured, and an electric energy output to the heating element is correspondingly adjusted to keep the voltage values being less than the preset voltage threshold value in order for achieving good control of working states of the electric heating smoke system.

  • Publication number: 20220201327
    Abstract: A video coding system (e.g., an encoder and/or a decoder) may perform face-based sub-block motion compensation for 360-degree video to predict samples (e.g., of a sub-block). The video coding system may receive a 360-degree video content. The 360-degree video content may include a current block. The current block may include a plurality of sub-blocks. The system may determine whether a sub-block mode is used for the current block. The system may predict a sample in the current block based on the sub-block level face association. For a first sub-block in the current block, the system may identify a first location of the first sub-block. The system may associate the first sub-block with a first face based on the identified first location of the first sub-block. The system may predict a first sample in the first sub-block based on the first face that is associated with the first sub-block.
