  • Patent number: 11681912
    Abstract: Provided are an AI system for simulating functions such as recognition, determination, and so forth of human brains by using a mechanical learning algorithm like deep learning, or the like, and an application thereof. In particular, according to the AI system and the application thereof, a neural network training method includes obtaining a plurality of first images belonging to a particular category and a plurality of second images for which a category is not specified, training a neural network model for category recognition, based on the plurality of first images belonging to the particular category, recognizing at least one second image corresponding to the particular category among the plurality of second images, by using the trained neural network model, and modifying and refining the trained neural network model based on the recognized at least one second image.

  • Patent number: 11062470
    Abstract: A depth estimating apparatus operated by at least one processor includes: a database which stores a photographed first color image, a training thermal image geometrically aligned with the first color image, and a second color image simultaneously photographed with the first color image as a training image set; and a training apparatus which trains a neural network in an unsupervised manner to output a chromaticity image and a binocular disparity image from the training thermal image. The training apparatus generates an estimated first color image from the second color image, the chromaticity image, and the binocular disparity image, and trains the neural network to minimize a difference between the estimated first color image and the photographed first color image.
