BP4D: 4D Spontaneous Facial Expression Database
4D Spontaneous Facial Expression Database
Background:
Because posed and un-posed (aka “spontaneous”) 3D facial expressions differ along several dimensions including complexity and timing, well-annotated 3D video of un-posed facial behavior is needed. The BP4D dataset comprises videos of spontaneous facial expressions in a diverse...
FakeCatcher: Detection of Synthetic Portrait Videos using Biological Signals
Novel algorithm uses biological signals to determine the authenticity of videos
Background:
In recent years, technology development of deep learning has advanced to the level of high realism in creating synthetic videos. Such deep fake videos pose a big threat to video authentication for security, safety, privacy protection, as well as health-care...
Zero-Downtime Hypervisor and OS Update Framework for Virtualized Cloud Environments
This technology allows servers to be updated without downtime, solving the common problem that updating hypervisors or operating systems usually requires reboots or temporarily stopping applications. Instead of copying large amounts of memory, it switches memory control in place, enabling updates in under a second while applications keep running.
Background:...
Real-Time AR Negotiation for Human-Robot Teaming
This technology enables humans to negotiate robot actions instantly through an intuitive augmented reality interface. By visualizing robot intentions and allowing direct constraint input, it removes ambiguity and accelerates collaboration. The result is faster, clearer, and more flexible human-robot teamwork in dynamic, real-world environments.
Background:...
Multimodal AI Dataset for Emotion and Heart Rate Recognition in Real-World Conditions
This invention introduces the MMSE HR dataset along with a Self Adaptive Matrix Completion algorithm for remote heart rate estimation from facial videos in natural conditions. By combining synchronized spontaneous expression data with physiological signals, it enables accurate, non contact heart rate measurement and real time emotion analysis for robust...
Methods for Diverse Exploration in Reinforcement Learning
An autonomous system to learn how to perform a complex task from past experiences through reinforcement learning without human intervention
Background:
