Application: Reconstruction of occluded regions of a face using machine learning (Patent ID: US20240198230A1)
The patent filed by Sony Group Corp. describes a method and apparatus for generating a full-face image of a computer game player wearing a headset that partially occludes the face. This involves inputting the occluded image to a machine learning model, receiving the full-face image as output, and presenting it on a display. The ML model can include recurrent neural networks (RNN) or long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and the full-face image can be further processed by overlaying a transparent headset or using additional player-related information.
The apparatus and method outlined in the patent aim to address the issue of occlusion caused by headsets in images of computer game players. By utilizing machine learning models like RNN or LSTM, the technology can generate full-face images for social network settings or other applications. The post-processing capabilities allow for modifications to the full-face image, such as overlaying a transparent headset or incorporating additional player-related information obtained from inward-facing cameras on the headset.
