Patent number: 9305382Abstract: Methods for providing drawing assistance to a user sketching an image include geometrically correcting and parametrically adjusting user strokes to improve their placement and appearance. As a user draws a stroke, the stroke is geometrically corrected by moving the stroke toward a feature of the image the user is intending to draw. To further improve the user strokes, parametric adjustments are made to the geometrically-corrected stroke to emphasize “correctly” drawn lines and de-emphasize “incorrectly” drawn lines.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATEDInventors: Holger Winnemoeller, Jun Xie, Wilmot Wei-Mau Li, Aaron Phillip Hertzmann

Publication number: 20150221070Abstract: Methods for providing drawing assistance to a user sketching an image include geometrically correcting adjusting user strokes to improve their placement and appearance. In particular, one or more guidance maps indicate where the user “should” draw lines. As a user draws a stroke, the stroke is geometrically corrected by moving the stroke toward a portion of the guidance maps corresponding to the feature of the image the user is intending to draw based feature labels. To further improve the user drawn lines, parametric adjustments are optionally made to the geometrically-corrected stroke to emphasize “correctly” drawn lines and de-emphasize “incorrectly” drawn lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2014Publication date: August 6, 2015Applicant: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Holger Winnemoeller, Jun Xie, Wilmot Wei-Mau Li, Aaron Phillip Hertzmann

Patent number: 7616826Abstract: A computer method and system for deblurring an image is provided. The invention method and system of deblurring employs statistics on distribution of intensity gradients of a known model. The known model is based on a natural image which may be unrelated to the subject image to be deblurred by the system. Given a subject image having blur, the invention method/system estimates a blur kernel and a solution image portion corresponding to a sample area of the subject image, by applying the statistics to intensity gradients of the sample area and solving for most probable solution image. The estimation process is carried out at multiple scales and results in a blur kernel. In a last step, the subject image is deconvolved image using the resulting blur kernel. The deconvolution generates a deblurred image corresponding to the subject image.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of TorontoInventors: William T.
