    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards performing depth estimation within a digital camera system based on interpolation of inverse focus statistics. After an image is captured, various statistics or focus measure may be calculated using, for example, a high pass filter. Depth is estimated by interpolating the inverse of the statistics for three positions of focus for the image. The inverse of the statistics, St(n), may be 1/St(n), or 1/St2(n), or even 1/StZ(n), where Z≧1. Several approaches to interpolating the inverse values of the statistics to obtain a depth estimate are disclosed, including a general parabolic minimum approach, using a parabolic minimum within a progressive scheme, or within a continuous AF scheme. The depth estimate may then be used for a variety of applications, including automatic focusing, as well as converting 2D images to 3D images.

    Abstract: A processor-implemented method includes obtaining, with a backbone artificial neural network, an original feature map of point cloud data. The method also includes deforming the point cloud data, with a deformation artificial neural network, into a number of deformed point cloud objects based on the original feature map of point cloud data. The method further includes combining the deformed point cloud objects into a mixed point cloud. The method still further includes extracting, with the backbone artificial neural network, a mixed feature map from the mixed point cloud. The method includes extracting a number of deformed feature maps from the deformed point cloud objects. The method still further includes computing, with a contrastive module, a loss for the backbone artificial neural network and for the deformation artificial neural network based on the mixed feature map and the deformed feature maps.

    Abstract: Image Signal Processing (ISP) optimization framework for computer vision applications is disclosed. The tuning of the ISP is performed automatically and presented as a nonlinear multi-objective optimization problem, followed by solving the problem using an evolutionary stochastic solver. An improved ISP of the embodiments of the invention includes at least features of search space reduction for reducing a number of ISP configurations, remapping the generated population to the reduced search space via mirroring, and global optimization function processing, which allow tuning all the blocks of the ISP at the same time instead of the prior art tuning of each ISP block separately. Also shown that an ISP tuned for image quality performs inferior compared with an ISP trained for a specific downstream image recognition task.

    Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may divide at least one scene into a plurality of meshlets, each of the meshlets including a plurality of primitives, and each of the primitives including plurality of vertices. The apparatus may also calculate a pair of texture coordinates for each of the plurality of vertices. Further, the apparatus may select a size of each of the plurality of meshlets in the at least one scene based on the pair of the texture coordinates and based on a perspective projection of each of the plurality of meshlets. The apparatus may also calculate layout information in a meshlet atlas for each of the meshlets in the at least one scene. Moreover, the apparatus may shade each of a plurality of pixels in the meshlet atlas based on the calculated layout information.

    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments enable a MEMS transducer to quickly recover from, acoustic overload events by quickly resetting signal processing circuitry downstream from a MEMS transducer. An acoustic overload sensor detects occurrence of an acoustic overload event, and triggers a reset circuit to operate a set of switches to rapidly drain charge from a corresponding set of capacitances within the transducer, or within the signal processing circuitry, thereby resetting the signal processing circuitry more rapidly than would occur if said transducer or circuitry were allowed to recover on its own.
