Title: Editing digital images utilizing a neural network with an in-network rendering layer
Inventor: Mehmet Yumer
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: Modified images are generated from input images (1002) by a NN with rendering layer trained to generate synthesized images from input images portraying diffuse and specular materials. At least two of a material property set, a surface orientation map, or an illumination environment map are NN predicted from the input image (1004). A set, map, or map is replaced (1006) with a target set, a target map, or a target map. The rendering layer generates (1010) a modified image from the input image based on the target set, target map, or target map. Also disclosed is rendering an image reflecting an input image with modified material, surface normal direction or illumination environment properties, using a NN with trained rendering layer generating target digital images portraying diffuse and specular layers. Also disclosed is generating a trained NN for rendering modified images, by determining a loss measure from a comparison of a synthesized training image, a training input image, and training set, map and map. A physical property for a target property (e.g. a modified material, illumination, or shape) can be substituted. A trained rendering layer generates a modified digital image based on the target property and the remaining (unsubstituted) properties.

Title: Automatic vehicle leak detection
Inventor: Jinesh J Jain
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2017-12-13
Abstract: A vehicle controller receives images from a camera upon arrival 402 and upon departure 404. The departure image is compared to an arrival image captured closest to the same location. A residual image 410 based on a difference between the arrival and departure images is evaluated for anomalies 412. Attributes of the anomaly (for example texture 416 or colour) are identified and the controller determines if an anomaly indicates a fluid leak 420 (e.g. engine oil). Image stabilisation 406, 408 may be carried out on the images. A location of the vehicle may be tracked using GPS and movement information and images captured by the camera may be tagged with a location. An alert may be generated in response to the indication of a leak 422.

IPC: G01N29/44
Filed: 2017-10-27
Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for investigating a rock sample, in which wideband electromagnetic response data are obtained and processed by inversion in order to determine values for a plurality of parameters of the rock sample. The wideband electromagnetic response data is derived from electromagnetic measurements of the rock sample at frequencies that fall within a wideband of frequencies, wherein the wideband of frequencies includes a low frequency sub-band that is sensitive to conductivity of the rock sample and a high frequency sub-band that is sensitive to the permittivity of the rock sample. In one embodiment, the inversion can employ a wideband model that accounts for two different polarization mechanisms. The wideband model can be used to describe predicted electromagnetic response of the rock sample at frequencies that fall within the wideband of frequencies.
