  • Publication number: 20230169709
    Abstract: Provided are a face de-identification method and system and a graphical user interface (GUI) provision method for face de-identification employing facial image generation. According to the face de-identification method and system and the GUI provision method, a facial area including eyes, a nose, and a mouth in a face of a person detected in an input image is replaced with a de-identified facial area generated through deep learning to maintain the face in a natural shape while protecting the person's portrait right. Accordingly, qualitative degradation of content is prevented, and viewers' concentration on the image is increased.

  • Patent number: 11059999
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-sided adhesive tape used for applications including the attachment of front glass for mobile devices. A core layer of the double-sided adhesive tape is prepared by adding an acrylic elastomer free of carbon-carbon double bonds while being highly miscible with an acrylic resin to an acrylic monomer(s) and performing curing, and thus can improve the impact resistance of the final double-sided adhesive tape. Also, the core layer may take a form of foam due to the introduced filler such as glass bubbles or organic microspheres, and thus can further contribute to improving the impact resistance of the final double-sided adhesive tape.
