Systems and methods for generative video reconstruction using multimodal latent sensor data
A system and method for generating synthetic video from diverse sensor inputs within a unified computational framework. The system receives heterogeneous data such as acoustic, thermal, and textual streams, encodes each into modality-specific latent representations, and projects them into a shared geometric manifold. Within this manifold, convergence points known as multimodal landmarks are established and used to compute geodesic trajectories that describe relationships among the inputs. The trajectories are verified for reversibility to ensure that forward and reverse mappings remain consistent. A Lorentzian autoencoder then decodes the validated trajectories into temporally coherent video sequences derived from the multimodal evidence rather than reconstructed imagery. The system records geometric states for auditability and persistently stores the resulting landmarks and trajectories for reuse, enabling reversible, verifiable generation of synthetic video that accurately reflects the integrated sensor data.
