Abstract: A computer device obtains a first face image (IMA) and a second face image (IFA). The device obtains M first image blocks corresponding to facial features from the first face image (IMA), and obtains N second image blocks corresponding to facial features from the second face image (IFA). The device transforms the M first image blocks and the N second image blocks to a feature space to generate M first feature blocks and N second feature blocks. The device selects a subset of the first feature blocks and a subset of the second feature blocks according to a specified control vector. The device generates a first composite feature map based the selected subset of the first feature blocks and the selected subset of the second feature blocks. The device inversely transforms the first composite feature map back to an image space to generate a third face image.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a voltage-to-time converter and method for reducing parasitic capacitance and power supply influences. The voltage-to-time converter includes: a main sampling network, a compensation sampling network, a discharge network and an over-threshold detection unit. The influence of a traditional VTC parasitic capacitance on a VTC output swing amplitude is reduced by using the compensation sampling network. A sampling common-mode level of the compensation sampling network is compensated, such that the influence of the low-frequency disturbance of a power supply voltage on a threshold of a traditional VTC threshold detection circuit is reduced. The output swing amplitude of the voltage-to-time converter of the present disclosure can reduce the influence of a parasitic capacitance. A voltage common-mode level of a VTC input end is related to a power supply voltage, which reduces a conversion error caused by the influence of the power supply voltage on a threshold.
