Patent number: 11823392Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for segmenting generic foreground objects in images and videos. For segmenting generic foreground objects in videos, an appearance stream of an image in a video frame is processed using a first deep neural network. Furthermore, a motion stream of an optical flow image in the video frame is processed using a second deep neural network. The appearance and motion streams are then joined to combine complementary appearance and motion information to perform segmentation of generic objects in the video frame. Generic foreground objects are segmented in images by training a convolutional deep neural network to estimate a likelihood that a pixel in an image belongs to a foreground object. After receiving the image, the likelihood that the pixel in the image is part of the foreground object as opposed to background is then determined using the trained convolutional deep neural network.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Kristen Grauman, Suyog Dutt Jain, Bo Xiong

Patent number: 11790066Abstract: Helper neural network can play a role in augmenting authentication services that are based on neural network architectures. For example, helper networks are configured to operate as a gateway on identification information used to identify users, enroll users, and/or construct authentication models (e.g., embedding and/or prediction networks). Assuming, that both good and bad identification information samples are taken as part of identification information capture, the helper networks operate to filter out bad identification information prior to training, which prevents, for example, identification information that is valid but poorly captured from impacting identification, training, and/or prediction using various neural networks. Additionally, helper networks can also identify and prevent presentation attacks or submission of spoofed identification information as part of processing and/or validation.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Private Identity LLCInventor: Scott Edward Streit

Patent number: 11568576Abstract: Techniques are generally described for generation of photorealistic synthetic image data. A generator network generates first synthetic image data. A first class of image data represented by a first portion of the first synthetic image data is detected and the first portion is sent to a first discriminator network. The first discriminator network generates a prediction of whether the first portion of the first synthetic image data is synthetically generated. A second class of image data represented by a second portion of the first synthetic image data is detected and the second portion is sent to a second discriminator network. The second discriminator network generates a prediction of whether the second portion of the first synthetic image data is synthetically generated. The generator network is updated based on the predictions of the discriminators.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Aleix Margarit Martinez, Raghu Deep Gadde, Qianli Feng, Alexandru Indrei, Gerard Gjonej

Patent number: 11568178Abstract: Various techniques are provided for training a neural network to classify images. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using training dataset comprising a plurality of synthetic images. The CNN training process tracks image-related metrics and other informative metrics as the training dataset is processed. The trained inference CNN may then be tested using a validation dataset of real images to generate performance results (e.g., whether a training image was properly or improperly labeled by the trained inference CNN). In one or more embodiments, a training dataset and analysis engine extracts and analyzes the informative metrics and performance results, generates parameters for a modified training dataset to improve CNN performance, and generates corresponding instructions to a synthetic image generator to generate a new training dataset. The process repeats in an iterative fashion to build a final training dataset for use in training an inference CNN.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Teledyne FLIR Commercial Systems, Inc.Inventor: Pierre Boulanger

Patent number: 11537813Abstract: During a training phase, a first machine learning system is trained using actual data, such as multimodal images of a hand, to generate synthetic image data. During training, the first system determines latent vector spaces associated with identity, appearance, and so forth. During a generation phase, latent vectors from the latent vector spaces are generated and used as input to the first machine learning system to generate candidate synthetic image data. The candidate image data is assessed to determine suitability for inclusion into a set of synthetic image data that may be used for subsequent use in training a second machine learning system to recognize an identity of a hand presented by a user. For example, the candidate synthetic image data is compared to previously generated synthetic image data to avoid duplicative synthetic identities. The second machine learning system is then trained using the approved candidate synthetic image data.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Igor Kviatkovsky, Nadav Israel Bhonker, Alon Shoshan, Manoj Aggarwal, Gerard Guy Medioni
