Changing the speed of movement of individual objects in the video

15.10.2020

Computer technology that allows you to change the speed of the selected object in videos, created by a team of specialists from Google and the University of Oxford.

Scientists taught the neural network to slow down or speed up the speed of the selected objects relative to each other. At the same time, the frame does not deteriorate, and the fact that it was manipulated with a change in the speed of movement is completely imperceptible.

To implement this effect, the specialists had to teach the neural network to recognize individual objects and people in the frame, divide the video frames into layers and reproduce the sequential display of these layers at different speeds.

As an example of the operation of this machine algorithm, experts showed a video in which three children jump into the pool at random. The algorithm "corrected" the video, making the jump of the kids almost synchronous.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

SONY Unveils DVD Burner with Internet Access 23.04.2003

Sony has introduced a new digital recorder equipped with a DVD drive and 80 GB hard drive called the NDR-XR1.

This device differs from its counterparts in that it can connect to the Internet via a broadband channel. In addition, the NDR-XR1 is equipped with a built-in browser that allows the user to browse the web using a TV connected to this unit.

It's not so easy to find a suitable name for the NDR-XR1, the set of functions that this device has is extremely large. It allows you to record TV programs on the built-in hard drive, a signal from a camcorder via the DV input, as well as images from Memory Stick media. Of course, all this can then be rewritten to DVD discs. In addition to being able to read DVD-R/RW, DVD Video and many CD formats, the NDR-XR1 can burn DVD-R/RW discs. Through the Internet, the NDR-XR1 can connect to special servers containing TV programs, making it easy to automatically program it to record specific TV broadcasts.

In addition, the user will be able to control the NDR-XR1 via the Internet using his mobile phone, which must also have access to the Network. In general, this device can do almost everything related to playing and recording video and TV programs.

Perhaps its only drawback is its high price, which is about $1200.
