Title: Methods and systems for recipient-facilitated blockchain transactions
Inventor: JACK OWEN DAVIES
IPC: H04L9/00
Filed: 2021-12-23
Abstract: Blockchain transactions typically involve a transaction (gas) fee payable to the blockchain node (miner) that succeeds in including the transaction in a valid block. The invention enables the transaction fee to come from the recipient device but wherein neither the recipient device nor the sending device is exposing data that may be exploited (e.g. the transaction fee cannot be maliciously modified resulting in unauthorized digital transfers). The partially-complete transaction generated by the sender device is signed such that no changes may be made to the inputs or the outputs already in the partially-complete transaction, but one or more outputs may be added. The recipient device provides an outpoint from a previous transaction to the sender device such that the outpoint is included in a constructed partially-complete transaction as an input intended to offset anticipated transaction fees. That partially-complete transaction is signed and sent to the recipient device, which then inserts an output script referencing a recipient device address as an output for receiving at least any excess from its input outpoint to the extent it is greater than the transaction fee for the transaction.

Title: Generating segmentation masks for objects in digital videos using pose tracking data
Inventor: Seoung Wug Oh
IPC: G06V10/82
Filed: 2022-10-11
Abstract: In a digital medium environment for editing digital videos, a computer-implemented method for generating segmentation masks from identified object joints comprises: determining a set of joint coordinates corresponding to a digital object, e.g. person, portrayed in a frame of a digital video 1002; generating, using the set of joint coordinates, a joint heat map corresponding to the digital object; and generating a joint-based segmentation mask corresponding to the digital object using the joint heat map. Determining the set of joint coordinates uses a global pose tracking neural network and generating the joint based segmentation mask uses a local segmentation neural segmentation network with a multi-layer perceptron mixer layer, and mixer encodings for the digital object based on the joint heat map. A bounding box is generated, and a cropped frame used. Preceding frames may be used, and the technique may also involve centering a Gaussian distribution at each joint point. The method is intended to flexibly produce more accurate segmentation masks and can be applied to multiple objects, i.e. persons.
