  • Patent number: 11423695
    Abstract: A first face region within a first image is determined. The first face region includes a location of a face within the first image. Based on the determined first face region within the first image, a predicted face region within a second image is determined. A first region of similarity within the predicted face region is determined. The first region of similarity has at least a predetermined degree of similarity to the first face region within the first image. Whether a second face region is present within the second image is determined. The location of the face within the second image is determined based on the first region of similarity, the determination of whether the second face region is present within the second image, and a face region selection rule.

  • Patent number: 11133022
    Abstract: A method may include dividing input audio into frames and calculating a characteristic value for each of the frames. The method may include establishing a voting matrix having a first dimension representing a quantity of segments of sample audio and a second dimension representing a quantity of frames of each segment. The method may include marking voting labels in the voting matrix corresponding to frames of the sample audio when the characteristic values of corresponding frames of the input audio and sample audio match. The method may include determining a frame to be a recognition result when a sum of the voting labels at a corresponding position is higher than a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10885639
    Abstract: For each frame of a video, a determination is made whether an image of a hand exists in the frame. When at least one frame of the video includes the image of the hand, locations of the hand in the frames of the video are tracked to obtain a tracking result. A verification is performed to determine whether the tracking result is valid in a current frame of the frames of the video. When the tracking result is valid in the current frame of the video, a location of the hand is tracked in a next frame. When the tracking result is not valid in the current frame, localized hand image detection is performed on the current frame.

  • Patent number: 10796713
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for voice denoising. Implementations include actions of performing a mathematical transform on each frame signal in an audio signal segment to generate multiple power spectra. Each power spectrum corresponds to a respective frame signal. Power value variances corresponding to frame signals at various frequencies are determined. A noise signal is identified in each frame signal based on the power value variance. The identified noise signal is removed from each frame signal of the plurality of frame signals.
