  • Publication number: 20220050922
    Abstract: Methods for speaker role determination and scrubbing identifying information are performed by systems and devices. In speaker role determination, data from an audio or text file is divided into respective portions related to speaking parties. Characteristics classifying the portions of the data for speaking party roles are identified in the portions to generate data sets from the portions corresponding to the speaking party roles and to assign speaking party roles for the data sets. For scrubbing identifying information in data, audio data for speaking parties is processed using speech recognition to generate a text-based representation. Text associated with identifying information is determined based on a set of key words/phrases, and a portion of the text-based representation that includes a part of the text is identified. A segment of audio data that corresponds to the identified portion is replaced with different audio data, and the portion is replaced with different text.

  • Publication number: 20210319565
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a device for target detection in consecutive images, and a computer-readable storage medium. A second frame is divided into multiple sub-images, before a target in the second frame in a video sequence is detected through a target-detecting network model. A first frame is searched, according to a preset rule for motion estimation, for a corresponding image block matched with each sub-image. Pixels of a sub-image, of which the matched image block is found in the first frame, are replaced with preset background pixels. Hence, a target repeating in both frames is replaced. Finally, the second frame subject to the replacement is inputted in to the target-detecting network model, to obtain a bounding box of a target object of the second frame and a category of such target object. An algorithm for target detection in consecutive images is optimized.
