摘要: Techniques are disclosed for generating photorealistic images of head portraits. A rendering application renders a set of images that include the skin of a face and corresponding masks indicating pixels associated with the skin in the images. An inpainting application performs a neural projection technique to optimize a set of parameters that, when input into a generator model, produces a set of projection images, each of which includes a head portrait in which (1) skin regions resemble the skin regions of the face in a corresponding rendered image; and (2) non-skin regions match the non-skin regions in the other projection images when the rendered set of images are standalone images, or transition smoothly between consecutive projection images in the case when the rendered set of images are frames of a video. The rendered images can then be blended with corresponding projection images to generate composite images that are photorealistic.

摘要: The present invention relates to energy storage systems and reactors useful in such systems. Inventive reactors comprise a reaction vessel defining an inner volume and a compensation element, whereby said inner volume is filled with a fixed bed that is free of cavities and that comprises particles of formula (I), FeOx (I), where 0≤x≤1.5; said compensation element is adapted to adjust said inner volume. The reactors are inherently explosion proof and thus suited for domestic use. The systems are useful for compensating long-term fluctuations observed in production of renewable energy.

摘要: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a software code and a content labeling predictive model. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to scan a database to identify content assets stored in the database, parse metadata stored in the database to identify labels associated with the content assets, and generate a graph by creating multiple first links linking each of the content assets to its corresponding label or labels. The hardware processor is configured to further execute the software code to train, using the graph, the content labeling predictive model, to identify, using the trained content labeling predictive model, multiple second links among the content assets and the labels, and to annotate the content assets based on the second links.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of cellulosic material. The method is comprising the steps of impregnation of the cellulosic material and treatment of the impregnated cellulosic material by a fumigation step or an evaporation step. Impregnation is performed with a metal ion M and at least one ion precursor Z yielding an impregnated cellulosic material. The at least one ion precursor Z provides an anion A or an anion A and a cation Y comprised within at least one metal salt solution I or with a metal salt solution II comprising a metal ion M. The fumigation or evaporation step is yielding a cellulosic composite material comprising a compound M(NH4)A, MYA or M(OH)x, wherein M is a metal.

摘要: A modeling engine generates a prediction model that quantifies and predicts secondary dynamics associated with the face of a performer enacting a performance. The modeling engine generates a set of geometric representations that represents the face of the performer enacting different facial expressions under a range of loading conditions. For a given facial expression and specific loading condition, the modeling engine trains a Machine Learning model to predict how soft tissue regions of the face of the performer change in response to external forces applied to the performer during the performance. The modeling engine combines different expression models associated with different facial expressions to generate a prediction model. The prediction model can be used to predict and remove secondary dynamics from a given geometric representation of a performance or to generate and add secondary dynamics to a given geometric representation of a performance.

摘要: According to one implementation, an image compression system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an input image, transform the input image to a latent space representation of the input image, and quantize the latent space representation of the input image to produce multiple quantized latents. The hardware processor further executes the software code to encode the quantized latents using a probability density function of the latent space representation of the input image, to generate a bitstream, and convert the bitstream into an output image corresponding to the input image. The probability density function of the latent space representation of the input image is obtained based on a normalizing flow mapping of one of the input image or the latent space representation of the input image.
