    摘要: A virtual puppeteering system includes a portable device including a camera, a display, a hardware processor, and a system memory storing an object animation software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the object animation software code to, using the camera, generate an image in response to receiving an activation input, using the display, display the image, and receive a selection input selecting an object shown in the image. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the object animation software code to determine a distance separating the selected object from the portable device, receive an animation input, identify, based on the selected object and the received animation input, a movement for animating the selected object, generate an animation of the selected object using the determined distance and the identified movement, and render the animation of the selected object.

    摘要: According to one implementation, a system for performing re-noising and neural network (NN) based image enhancement includes a computing platform having a processing hardware and a system memory storing a software code, a noise synthesizer, and an image restoration NN. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive a denoised image component and a noise component extracted from a degraded image, to generate, using the noise synthesizer and the noise component, synthesized noise corresponding to the noise component, and to interpolate, using the noise component and the synthesized noise, an output image noise. The processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to enhance, using the image restoration NN, the denoised image component to provide an output image component, and to re-noise the output image component, using the output image noise, to produce an enhanced output image corresponding to the degraded image.

    摘要: Embodiments provide for improved stream generation. A target average bitrate (TAB) segment is generated by encoding a first segment, of a plurality of segments in a video, using a first maximum average bitrate (MAB) of a plurality of MABs specified in an encoding ladder. An intermediate average bitrate (IAB) segment is generated by encoding the first segment using a first intermediate bitrate, wherein the first intermediate bitrate is lower than the first MAB. Upon receiving a request for the first segment at the first MAB, the IAB segment is output based at least in part on determining that a first quality score of the IAB segment is within a predefined tolerance of a second quality score of the TAB segment.
