Motion Capture Using Synchronized and Aligned Devices
19 Oct 23
A motion capture system comprising: a master clock configured to repeatedly generate and output, at a frame rate, a primary clock signal that conveys when a video frame starts; a first camera configured to capture light within a first set of wavelengths and operably coupled to receive the master clock signal and initiate an image capture sequence on a frame-by-frame basis in fixed phase relationship with the primary clock signal to generate a first set of images at the frame rate from light captured within the first set of wavelengths; a synchronization module operably coupled to receive the master clock signal from the master clock and configured to generate a synchronization signal offset in time from and in a fixed relationship with the primary clock signal; and a second camera configured to capture light within a second set of wavelengths, different than the first set of wavelengths, and operably coupled to receive the synchronization signal and initiate an image capture sequence on the frame-by-frame basis in a fixed phase relationship with the synchronization signal to generate a second set of images at the frame rate from light captured within the second set of wavelengths; wherein the amount of time the synchronization signal is offset from the master clock signal aligns, within each frame, the image capture sequence of the second camera with the image capture sequence of the first camera.

Method and System for Latent-space Facial Feature Editing In Deep Learning Based Face Swapping
5 Oct 23
A computer-implemented method of changing a face within an output image or video frame that includes: receiving an input image that includes a face presenting a facial expression in a pose; processing the image with a neural network encoder to generate a latent space point that is an encoded representation of the image; decoding the latent space point to generate an initial output image in accordance with a desired facial identity but with the facial expression and pose of the face in the input image; identifying a feature of the facial expression in the initial output image to edit; applying an adjustment vector to a latent space point corresponding to the initial output image to generate an adjusted latent space point; and decoding the adjusted latent space point to generate an adjusted output image in accordance with the desired facial identity but with the facial expression and pose of the face in the input image altered in accordance with the adjustment vector
