  • Patent number: 10997746
    Abstract: Feature descriptor matching described herein may include receiving a first input image and a second input image. A feature detector may detect features from the first and second input images. A descriptor extractor may learn local feature descriptors from the features of the first and second input images based on a feature descriptor matching model trained using a ground truth data set. The descriptor extractor may determine a listwise mean average precision (mAP) rank of a pool of candidate image patches from the second input image with respect to a queried image patch from the first input image based on the feature descriptor matching model, the first set of local feature descriptors, and the second set of local feature descriptors. The descriptor matcher may generate a geometric transformation between the first input image and the second input image based on the listwise mAP and a convolutional neural network.

  • Patent number: 10970355
    Abstract: A proxy-based thin-client web browsing framework enables cooperative web browsing of multiple devices. The multiple devices may include devices that are not intended for web browsing and have limited or no web browsers and/or user input capabilities. The proxy-based thin client web browsing framework employs a virtual browser at a proxy server to perform all browser-engine logics, and retrieve, render and encode web pages on behalf of the multiple devices. The multiple devices therefore only need to have limited decoding and display capabilities to perform web browsing. The proxy-based thin client web browsing framework further includes a touch controller as a remote controller for a device that has no or limited user texting or manipulating capabilities.

  • Publication number: 20200310739
    Abstract: In implementations of the subject matter described herein, there are provided a method and apparatus for real time screen sharing. During the screen sharing of two devices, if a certain condition is satisfied for an image encoded by a first device and an image decoded by a second device, the first device pauses image processing images. If the pause time of pausing satisfies a certain length, a parameter associated with an image compression ratio is adjusted. After the first device resumes image processing, the adjusted parameter is used to encode a new image captured on the first device. According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, a transmission code rate during the screen sharing can be controlled according to the pause time of pausing image processing. The implementations of the subject matter described herein can reduce transmission latency of screen sharing, thereby effectively ensuring the user experience.
