FACE DETECTION GUIDED SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION PAN ANGLE POST PROCESSING FOR SMART CAMERA TALKER TRACKING AND FRAMING
20230025997 · 2023-01-26 ·

A videoconferencing system includes a camera acquiring image data and a microphone array acquiring audio data. Image data is used in conjunction with sound source localization (SSL) data to locate a talker depicted in the image data. SSL processes the audio data and determines SSL pan angle values indicative of an estimated direction of a sound. Columns of pixels in an image are associated with bins. A bin count is incremented for each SSL pan angle value of the audio data that falls within a given bin. A bounding box in the image data is determined that encompasses a face depicted in the image data. A range of pixels is determined for the bounding box, such as extending from a leftmost column to a rightmost column. The bin with the highest bin count that also overlaps a range of pixels for a bounding box is deemed to contain the talker.

11710343 · 2023-07-25 · ·

The image processing unit selects multiple subject areas from strobe-ON image data to be corrected, and, from the selected multiple subject areas, the image processing unit acquires a feature amount such as gloss information corresponding to each subject. Subsequently, from each subject area, the image processing unit selects a part of the subject area, based on the acquired feature amount. Then, regarding the partial area of each subject area, which is selected based on the feature amount, the image processing unit estimates the auxiliary light arrival rate corresponding to each subject, based on a pixel value of the strobe-ON image data and a pixel value of strobe-OFF image data. Thereafter, based on the estimated auxiliary light arrival rate, the image processing unit corrects the brightness of each subject area of the strobe-ON image data, in order to generate corrected image data.

Methods and systems for high-resolution image manipulation are disclosed. An original high-resolution image to be manipulated is obtained, as well as a driving signal indicating a manipulation result. The original high-resolution image is down-sampled to obtain a low-resolution image to be manipulated. Using a trained manipulation generator, a low-resolution manipulated image and a motion field are generated from the low-resolution image. The motion field represent pixel displacements of the low-resolution image to obtain the manipulation indicated by the driving signal. A high-frequency residual image is computed from the original high-resolution image. A high-frequency manipulated residual image is generated using the motion field. A high-resolution manipulated image is outputted by combining the high-frequency manipulated residual image and a low-frequency manipulated image generated from the low-resolution manipulated image by up-sampling.
