MUMBAI, India, June 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517040489 A) filed by Interdigital Vc Holdings, Inc., Wilmington, U.S.A., on April 26, for 'ai-based video conferencing using robust face restoration with adaptive quality control.'
Inventor(s) include Jiang, Wei; Choi, Hyomin; and Racape, Fabien.
The application for the patent was published on June 13, under issue no. 24/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A video conferencing framework based on face restoration uses information such as pose and expressions instead of using information from different source frames and driving frames. In an embodiment, this information comes from the current target frame. In another embodiment, the proposed system uses a discrete codebook-based representation comprising a generic branch that generates and transmits an integer vector indicating the indices of codewords, from which the decoder retrieves a rich high-quality codebook-based feature based on the same shared codebook with an encoder. An adaptive branch optionally provides additional detailed fidelity and expressive features using a low-quality low-bitrate downsized face input and further aggressively compressed. The low-quality feature is weighted and combined with the high-quality feature for final reconstruction. In another embodiment, an online adaptive learning mechanism adjusts the low-quality input and the combining weight for the adaptive branch on the encoder side at test time."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 30, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/081843.
