ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,315,031, issued on May 27, was assigned to Intel Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"High fidelity interactive segmentation for video data with deep convolutional tessellations and context aware skip connections" was invented by Anthony Rhodes (Portland, Ore.) and Manan Goel (Portland, Ore.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques related to automatically segmenting video frames into per pixel fidelity object of interest and background regions are discussed. Such techniques include applying tessellation to a video frame to generate feature frames corresponding to the video frame and applying a segmentation network implementing context aware s...
