Patent number: 11403737Abstract: A method of removing noise from a depth image includes presenting real-world depth images in real-time to a first generative adversarial neural network (GAN), the first GAN being trained by synthetic images generated from computer assisted design (CAD) information of at least one object to be recognized in the real-world depth image. The first GAN subtracts the background in the real-world depth image and segments the foreground in the real-world depth image to produce a cleaned real-world depth image. Using the cleaned image, an object of interest in the real-world depth image can be identified via the first GAN trained with synthetic images and the cleaned real-world depth image. In an embodiment the cleaned real-world depth image from the first GAN is provided to a second GAN that provides additional noise cancellation and recovery of features removed by the first GAN.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Benjamin Planche, Sergey Zakharov, Ziyan Wu, Slobodan Ilic
