    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and techniques directed to optical image stabilization movement to create a super-resolution image of a scene. The systems and techniques include a user device (102) introducing (502), through an optical image stabilization system (114), movement to one or more components of a camera system (112) of the user device (102). The user device (102) then captures (504) respective and multiple frames (306) of an image of a scene, where the respective and multiple frames (306) of the image of the scene have respective, sub-pixel offsets of the image of the scene across the multiple frames (306) as a result of the introduced movement to the one or more components of the camera system (112). The user device (102) performs (506), based on the respective, sub-pixel offsets of the image of the scene across the respective, multiple frames (306), super-resolution computations and creates (508) the super-resolution image of the scene based on the super-resolution computations.

    Abstract: The technology employs a patch-based multi-scale Transformer (300) that is usable with various imaging applications. This avoids constraints on image fixed input size and predicts the quality effectively on a native resolution image. A native resolution image (304) is transformed into a multi-scale representation (302), enabling the Transformer's self-attention mechanism to capture information on both fine-grained detailed patches and coarse-grained global patches. Spatial embedding (316) is employed to map patch positions to a fixed grid, in which patch locations at each scale are hashed to the same grid. A separate scale embedding (318) is employed to distinguish patches coming from different scales in the multiscale representation. Self-attention (508) is performed to create a final image representation. In some instances, prior to performing self-attention, the system may prepend a learnable classification token (322) to the set of input tokens.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that relate to extracting digital watermarks from images, irrespective of distortions introduced into these images. Methods can include inputting a first data item into a channel encoder that can generate a first encoded data item that is greater in length than the first data item and that (1) includes the input data item and (2) new data this is redundant of the input data item. Based on the first encoded data item and a first image, an encoder model can generate a first encoded image into which the first encoded data is embedded as a digital watermark. A decoder model can decode the first encoded data item to generate a second data, which can be decoded by the channel decoder to generate data that is predicted to be the first data.

    Abstract: A trained model is retrained for video quality assessment and used to identify sets of adaptive compression parameters for transcoding user generated video content. Using transfer learning, the model, which is initially trained for image object detection, is retrained for technical content assessment and then again retrained for video quality assessment. The model is then deployed into a transcoding pipeline and used for transcoding an input video stream of user generated content. The transcoding pipeline may be structured in one of several ways. In one example, a secondary pathway for video content analysis using the model is introduced into the pipeline, which does not interfere with the ultimate output of the transcoding should there be a network or other issue. In another example, the model is introduced as a library within the existing pipeline, which would maintain a single pathway, but ultimately is not expected to introduce significant latency.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for upscaling an image. One of the methods includes upscaling a low resolution image, creating first pixel subsets of the first upscaled image, creating second pixel subsets of a high resolution image, determining, for each subset in the pixel subsets, a value of a property of the pixel subset, determining, for each subset in the pixel subsets, a group of subsets to which the corresponding pixel subset belongs using the value of the property, and determining, for each of the groups of subsets, a filter to apply to each of the first pixel subsets that correspond to the pixel subsets in the group to create a final pixel subset that approximates the corresponding second pixel subset using the first pixel subset, a combination of all of the final pixel subsets representing a second upscaled image.
