WiMi Integrated Deep Learning Algorithm into Multi-Depth Hologram Generation

BEIJING, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that it integrated deep learning algorithm into multi-depth hologram generation to extract the depth information of the 3D scene from the input 2D image and convert it into a hologram to realize multi-depth hologram generation. The multi-depth hologram is a kind of 3D image generated using deep learning technology, which can provide a more realistic and three-dimensional display effect. Traditional holograms can only present one depth of information, while multi-depth holograms can present multiple depths of information at the same time, allowing the observer to observe the image from different angles and perceive different depths, which has a wide range of application prospects in the fields of virtual reality, augmented reality, and medical imaging.

The deep learning algorithm is the key to the multi-depth hologram generation. It can automatically learn and optimize the model parameters from the training data, reducing manual intervention and improving the generation efficiency. Deep learning achieves efficient learning and characterization of complex data by constructing multi-layer neural network models and using a large amount of labeled data for training. In multi-depth hologram generation, deep learning algorithms can be used to learn the mapping relationship between the input image and the corresponding multi-depth information, thus realizing the generation of multi-depth holograms for the input image. The advantage of the multi-depth hologram generation technology based on the deep learning algorithm is that it can generate holograms through computer simulation, avoiding the complex process of traditional hologram production. At the same time, the deep learning algorithm can learn complex feature representations from a large amount of data, and therefore can generate more realistic and detailed holograms.

The model needs to be trained first using a deep learning model. Once the training is complete, new 2D images can be fed into the model for prediction. The model will convert the input 2D image into a realistic hologram based on the knowledge and experience gained from training. In this process, the model will use the texture, color, depth and other features in the image to restore the 3D shape and structure of the object. Firstly, a multi-depth image dataset needs to be collected, including images of different depths. The collected image data are pre-processed, including operations such as denoising and image enhancement, to improve the training effect of the model. These images can then be trained using deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) or generative adversarial networks (GAN). During the training process, the model learns the relationships and features between images of different depths so that it can generate holograms with multi-depth information. And the parameters of the model are continuously optimized by the backpropagation algorithm so that it can better generate multi-depth holograms. After the training is completed, the trained model can be used to predict and generate multi-depth holograms for new images.

With the continuous optimization of the algorithm, the multi-depth hologram generation technology based on deep learning algorithms will usher in a broader development prospect and play a more important role in a number of industry fields. Currently, multi-depth hologram generation is mainly used in scientific research, medical imaging and game entertainment. However, with the advancement of technology and the expansion of applications, multi-depth hologram generation technology will be applied in more fields in the future, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, education and industry.

In the future, WiMi will also continue to explore the field of multi-depth hologram generation algorithms and promote the multi-depth hologram generation technology based on deep learning algorithms to achieve greater breakthroughs and applications.

Project Sound Lift, a Leap Forward in AI-Powered Audio Editing

Project Sound Lift, which was announced on stage at Adobe MAX, is poised to change the world of audio processing. This cutting-edge AI-powered tool will change the way audio layers are split in recordings, making it possible to separate voices from background noise with unmatched accuracy.

media 135ded458086148ece79276b9eb2d94f80e04ae02.jpeg

Users are able to isolate different components of sound like laughter, alarms, speech, crowds, traffic, typing, and more with Project Sound Lift. With the built-in AI, the tool is able to instantly find each layer of sound and make separate files for each one.

Adobe’s Project Sound Lift, on the other hand, focuses on specific sounds, making the audio editing process more tailored and precise. Adobe differentiates the tool with its many filters while other tools like Supertone’s Clear and Goyo’s Voice Separator focus on separating and changing background noise, voices, and vocal reverb.

#AdobeMAX Sneaks: Introducing Project Sound Lift | Adobe

The technology is already being used by the industry to restore older tracks. Of course, it comes as no surprise that the Beatles continue to break new ground with the restoration of their hit song “Now and Then”. The track is available on streaming platforms like TIDAL and Spotify. The track producers used a similar AI-based method to separate John Lennon’s voice from the piano music of the original track from a cassette recording.

Adobe showed off what Project Sound Lift could do during Adobe MAX, which also can be viewed on their YouTube channel.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link Coming to Mobile

Detection engine-agnostic, the Sensa Investigation Hub works seamlessly with existing financial crime solutions to provide a single, unified view of risk, regulator-friendly auditing, and end-to-end transparency.

Global resources suffer a cost of around $1.6 trillion per year due to money laundering efforts worldwide, according to the Financial Accountability Transparency & Integrity panel (FACTI) – a United Nations-affiliated body dedicated to combatting financial crime.

“SymphonyAI Sensa-NetReveal is disrupting the compliance technology sector with our latest cloud-native, generative AI-enabled investigation platform to solve real-world money laundering problems in Asia Pacific,” said Gerard O’Reilly, Regional Director, APAC. “Our integrated end-to-end AML solution offers a holistic view of risk and financial crime in a single integrated platform. Coupled with SymphonyAI’s generative AI-enabled software, customers can reduce the time and cost of investigation while increasing efficiency and consistency.”

Sensa Investigation Hub’s market-leading features and benefits include:

  • Generative AI-powered investigation: The Sensa Investigation Hub’s built-in Sensa Copilot accelerates investigations by ~70% by sourcing, summarizing, and analyzing data at scale – while surfacing results in interrogatable, natural language.
  • Seamlessly augments existing solutions: The Sensa Investigation Hub’s detection-agnostic, flexible data ingestion works with existing detection solutions.
  • Enterprise-wide risk management: SaaS-led, the Sensa Investigation Hub consolidates the risk and compliance tech stack with a single platform, managing all types of financial crime detection and compliance risks across business units and asset classes, reducing complexity, and streamlining operations.
  • Entity-centric investigation: The Sensa Investigation Hub combines an end-to-end view of risk, starting with anti-money laundering and rapidly including sanctions, know your customer (KYC), customer due diligence (CDD), and fraud.
  • Transparent and auditable decisioning and reporting: The Sensa Investigation Hub delivers end-to-end transparency aligned with organizational processes, policies, and regulations, ensuring consistency, auditability, and explainability.

With the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s push for increased AI use in combating money laundering, AI will be centre stage at the 2023 Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF). “The center of gravity for global financial activities is moving away from the West towards the Asia Pacific[1], and this trend is set to accelerate over the next decade,” said Mike Foster, President and CEO of SymphonyAI Sensa-NetReveal. “With the financial world becoming more integrated, the sophistication of financial criminals and malicious actors is also rising. As a result, the sector is under increasing pressure to improve its anti-money laundering and financial crime detection capabilities.

“With bold innovation, our unique financial crime AI models, and breakthrough predictive and generative AI capabilities, SymphonyAI has delivered breathtaking power, simplicity, and effectiveness for every role and tier of organizations engaged in detecting and preventing financial crimes and money-laundering,” he added.

SymphonyAI will demonstrate the Sensa Investigation Hub, along with the rest of the Sensa-NetReveal product portfolio, this week at the SFF from 15th – 17th November 2023. Sensa- NetReveal expert David Lehmani will be speaking at the Regulation Stage on Unshackling Compliance Operations, Wednesday 15th November at 12:15 pm.
