A method and system for providing synchronized input feedback, comprising receiving an input event, encoding the input event in an output stream wherein the encoding of the input event is synchronized to a specific event and reproducing the output stream through an output device whereby the encoded input event in the reproduced output stream is imperceptible to the user.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computer system (100) for determining the impact of herbicides on crop plants (11) in an agricultural field (10). The system includes an interface (110) to receive an image (20) with at least one crop plant representing a real world situation in the agricultural field (10) after herbicide application. An image pre-processing module (120) rescales the received image (20) to a rescaled image (20a) matching the size of an input layer of a first fully convolutional neural network (CNN1) referred to as the first CNN. The first CNN is trained to segment the rescaled image (20a) into crop (11) and non-crop (12, 13) portions, and provides a first segmented output (20s1) indicating the crop portions (20c) of the rescaled image with pixels belonging to representations of crop. A second fully convolutional neural network (CNN2), referred to as the second CNN, is trained to segment said crop portions into a second segmented output (20s2) with one or more sub-portions (20n, 20l) with each sub-portion including pixels associated with damaged parts of the crop plant showing a respective damage type (11-1, 11-2). A damage measurement module (130) determines a damage measure (131) for the at least one crop plant for each damage type (11-1, 11-2) based on the respective sub-portions of the second segmented output (20s2) in relation to the crop portion of the first segmented output (20s1).

A method is disclosed for evaluating a classifier used to determine a traffic light signal state in images. The method includes, by a computer vision system of a vehicle, receiving at least one image of a traffic signal device of an imminent intersection. The traffic signal device includes a traffic signal face including one or more traffic signal elements. The method includes classifying, by a traffic light classifier (TLC), a classification state of the traffic signal face using labeled images correlated to the received at least one image. The classification state controls an operation of the vehicle at the intersection. The method includes evaluating a performance of the classifying of the classification state generated by the TLC. The evaluation is a label-free performance evaluation based on unlabeled images. The method includes training the TLC based on the evaluated performance.

Techniques for tuning an image editing operator for reducing a distractor in raw image data are presented herein. The image editing operator can access the raw image data and a mask. The mask can indicate a region of interest associated with the raw image data. The image editing operator can process the raw image data and the mask to generate processed image data. Additionally, a trained saliency model can process at least the processed image data within the region of interest to generate a saliency map that provides saliency values. Moreover, a saliency loss function can compare the saliency values provided by the saliency map for the processed image data within the region of interest to one or more target saliency values. Subsequently, the one or more parameter values of the image editing operator can be modified based at least in part on the saliency loss function.
