Abstract: Face anonymization techniques are described that overcome conventional challenges to generate an anonymized face. In one example, a digital object editing system is configured to generate an anonymized face based on a target face and a reference face. As part of this, the digital object editing system employs an encoder as part of machine learning to extract a target encoding of the target face image and a reference encoding of the reference face. The digital object editing system then generates a mixed encoding from the target and reference encodings. The mixed encoding is employed by a machine-learning model of the digital object editing system to generate a mixed face. An object replacement module is used by the digital object editing system to replace the target face in the target digital image with the mixed face.

Abstract: Provided are a duty cycle calibration circuit and method, a chip, and an electronic device. In the duty cycle calibration circuit, through a counting clock signal having a higher clock signal frequency than a calibration clock signal, a counting unit is configured to acquire a number of counting pulses generated in a high-level state and a low-level state of the calibration clock signal within a preset counting period, so as to obtain an actual duty cycle of the calibration clock signal. Compared with a method of acquiring a duty cycle of a calibration clock signal by comparing the calibration clock signal with a reference clock signal, inaccurate measurement of the duty cycle of the calibration clock signal after the reference clock signal is affected can be overcome. Therefore, accuracy of measurement of the duty cycle can be improved, and precision of calibration of the duty cycle can be improved accordingly.
