Title: Digital image completion using deep learning
Inventor: ZHE LIN
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2018-08-15
Abstract: Digital image completion using deep learning involving multiple neural networks is described. Initially, a digital image having at least one hole is received and this holey digital image is provided as input to an image completer formed with a framework that combines generative and discriminative neural networks based on learning architecture of the generative adversarial networks. From the holey digital image, the generative neural network generates a filled digital image having hole-filling content in place of holes. The discriminative neural networks detects whether the filled digital image and the hole-filling digital content correspond to or include computer-generated content or are photo-realistic. The generating and detecting are iteratively continued until the discriminative neural networks fail to detect computer-generated content for the filled digital image and hole-filling content or until detection surpasses a threshold difficulty. Responsive to this, the image completer outputs the filled digital image with hole-filling content in place of the holey digital image's holes.

Title: Persistant marking of a target
Inventor: ANTONY MROZICKI
IPC: F41H13/00
Filed: 2020-08-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of marking and identifying a target 110, and in particular, a method of using a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW), for example a laser beam 200, to heat a target without damaging it so that the target may be clearly identified by detectors and systems using thermally sensitive imaging. The temperature of the target may be increased with an identifiable pattern on the target surface (fig.4). Targets may be identified and distinguished from each other by thermal imaging equipment after the thermal designator has been disengaged. While the heat signature will decay over time, there will remain a window of opportunity after the thermal designator has been disengaged whereby the target can still be identified. A designated target may then be re-engaged (possibly in a new position amongst other targets, fig.3) after an interruption of the line of sight to the target.
