    摘要: The quality of sound recorded from a plurality of people speaking at the same time is improved by incorporating prior knowledge into an independent component analysis (ICA) separating algorithm. More particularly, prior knowledge is defined as a probability distribution according to some prior situation (e.g., prior distribution of people in a room). A mixture of sounds (e.g., mixture of voices) from a plurality of sources (e.g., people) captured by one or more recording devices (e.g., microphones) is separated into individual components (e.g., individual voices from respective people) by applying an maximum a posteriori (MAP) ICA algorithm which incorporates prior knowledge of the respective sources (e.g., location of sources) directly into the MAP ICA algorithm thereby allowing recovery of independent underlying sounds associated with individual sources from the mixture. Therefore, incorporating prior knowledge into an ICA algorithm provides sound quality substantially equal to existing ICA systems, but at reduced computational complexity.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for animating 3D characters using synthetic motion data generated by generative models in response to a high level description of a desired sequence of motion provided by an animator. An animation system is accessible via a server system that utilizes the ability of generative models to generate synthetic motion data across a continuum to enable multiple animators to effectively reuse the same set of previously recorded motion capture data to produce a wide variety of desired animation sequences. An animator can upload a custom model of a 3D character and the synthetic motion data generated by the generative model is retargeted to animate the custom 3D character.

One embodiment of the invention includes a server system configured to communicate with a database containing motion data including repeated sequences of motion, where the differences between the repeated sequences of motion are described using at least one high level characteristic. In addition, the server system is connected to a communication network, the server system is configured to train a generative model using the motion data, the server system is configured to generate a user interface that is accessible via the communication network, the server system is configured to receive a high level description of a desired sequence of motion via the user interface, the server system is configured to use the generative model to generate synthetic motion data based on the high level description of the desired sequence of motion, and wherein the server system is configured to transmit a stream via the communication network including information that can be used to display a 3D character animated using the synthetic motion data.

    摘要: A system for monitoring of vehicles and particularly heavy vehicles and their compliance with specific network (e.g. road) access conditions uses vehicle telematics solutions. The system includes an in-vehicle unit (IVU) associated with a vehicle being monitored. The IVU includes a receiver for receiving positioning signals, a processor for processing a time-marked log of vehicle data, a storage element for storing the time-marked log and a first wireless communication element for communicating time marked data to a Service Provider (SP) processing apparatus. One or more Service Providers operate Service Provider (SP) processing apparatus. The SP processing apparatus include a SP wireless communication element for receiving time-marked data from one or more IVUs and a SP processor for processing received data. The SP processor is adapted to compare received data from the time-marked log of a vehicle with one or more vehicle-use conditions applicable to that vehicle, and to generate a non-compliance report where the comparison indicates that non-compliant activity has occurred. A SP storage element stores non-compliance reports and relevant time-marked data.
