Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating a depth image are provided. The apparatus receives an input image, extracts a feature corresponding to the input image, generates features for each depth resolution by decoding the feature using decoders corresponding to different depth resolutions, estimates probability distributions for each depth resolution by progressively refining the features for each depth resolution, and generates a target depth image corresponding to the input image based on a final estimated probability distribution from among the probability distributions for each depth resolution.
Abstract:
Face recognition of a face, to determine whether the face correlates with an enrolled face, may include generating a personalized three-dimensional (3D) face model based on a two-dimensional (2D) input image of the face, acquiring 3D shape information and a normalized 2D input image of the face based on the personalized 3D face model, generating feature information based on the 3D shape information and pixel color values of the normalized 2D input image, and comparing the feature information with feature information associated with the enrolled face. The feature information may include first and second feature information generated based on applying first and second deep neural network models to the pixel color values of the normalized 2D input image and the 3D shape information, respectively. The personalized 3D face model may be generated based on transforming a generic 3D face model based on landmarks detected in the 2D input image.
Abstract:
An apparatus and corresponding method are provided to match images and include assigning depth candidate values to a pixel in a first image, and reassigning third depth candidate values to a first pixel in the first image based on first depth candidate values assigned to the first pixel and second depth candidate values assigned to a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel. The apparatus and method also include determining one of the third depth candidate values to be a depth value of the first pixel, and matching the first pixel and a third pixel in a second image corresponding to the determined depth value of the first pixel.
Abstract:
A method of generating a three-dimensional (3D) face model includes extracting feature points of a face from input images comprising a first face image and a second face image; deforming a generic 3D face model to a personalized 3D face model based on the feature points; projecting the personalized 3D face model to each of the first face image and the second face image; and refining the personalized 3D face model based on a difference in texture patterns between the first face image to which the personalized 3D face model is projected and the second face image to which the personalized 3D face model is projected.
Abstract:
A method of adaptively updating an enrollment database is disclosed. The method may include extracting a first feature vector from an input image, the input image including a face of a user, determining whether to enroll the input image in the enrollment database based on the first feature vector, second feature vectors of enrollment images and a representative vector, the second feature vectors of the enrollment images being enrolled in the enrollment database, and the representative vector representing the second feature vectors, and enrolling the input image in the enrollment database based on a result of the determining.
Abstract:
A method of controlling an electronic device having a transparent display. The method includes controlling the electronic device to provide a first image through an optical display mode operation of the transparent display in which light incident from an object is transmitted, controlling the electronic device to acquire a second image through a video display mode operation of the transparent display in which an image captured from the object is displayed, and selectively displaying the first and second images using the transparent display by a mixing, by the electronic device, of the first and second images. The mixing may be dependent on a distance between the electronic device and the object or a display ratio between the first and second images. An image for an object may be displayed in a region of interest and an image for another object in a remaining region.
