  • Publication number: 20240169624
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate utilizing a segmentation neural network, an object mask for each object of a plurality of objects of a digital image. The disclosed systems detect a first user interaction with an object in the digital image displayed via a graphical user interface. The disclosed systems surface, via the graphical user interface, the object mask for the object in response to the first user interaction. The disclosed systems perform an object-aware modification of the digital image in response to a second user interaction with the object mask for the object.

  • Publication number: 20240135613
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that implement perspective-aware object move operations for digital image editing. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a vanishing point associated with a digital image portraying an object. Additionally, the disclosed systems detect one or more user interactions for moving the object within the digital image. Based on moving the object with respect to the vanishing point, the disclosed systems perform a perspective-based resizing of the object within the digital image.

  • Publication number: 20240135561
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that implement depth-aware object move operations for digital image editing. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a first object depth for a first object portrayed within a digital image and a second object depth for a second object portrayed within the digital image. Additionally, the disclosed systems move the first object to create an overlap area between the first object and the second object within the digital image. Based on the first object depth and the second object depth, the disclosed systems modify the digital image to occlude the first object or the second object within the overlap area.

  • Patent number: 10979676
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods that enable users to virtually experience an environment at a destination location from their own user device, control their experience and even interact with others that are physically located within the environment. Likewise, the user's experience may even be improved with the inclusion of enhancements that are presented to the user as the user experiences the environment. User's may interact with the enhancements to obtain additional enhancements, interact with others physically located within the environment, interact with and direct a guide that is physically located within the environment, and receive near real-time video and audio that is transmitted from a guide device located within the environment.

  • Patent number: 10970930
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for aligning and concurrently presenting guide device video data of an environment and an enhancement corresponding to the environment. With the described implementations, users may virtually experience an environment at a destination location from their own user device and also concurrently view historical and/or future representations of that environment (enhancement) concurrently with current representations of the environment. The user may select the amount of the enhancement or the guide device video data that is presented to the user as part of the experience. Likewise, the guide device video data and enhancement remain aligned as they are presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 10970545
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and surfacing augmented reality cues associated with physical items for presentation to users during augmented reality experiences are described. In order to provide a more immersive augmented reality experience, physical items that a user may touch, taste, smell, see, and/or hear may be provided to a user within compartments of a container as part of the experience. During the augmented reality experience, particular locations along a path may be recognized using image recognition techniques, and augmented reality cues associated with particular physical items related to the recognized locations may be presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 6604887
    Abstract: An adjustable steering tie rod assembly for a motorized vehicle is disclosed. The steering tie rod assembly has at one end a threaded steering terminal connected to a tube that has a ring-like cavity and an intermediate tubular member. The intermediate member has an internal thread and a ring-like projection on the external surface. The threaded steering terminal, the intermediate member, and the tube are connected in a concentric arrangement. The internal thread and the ring-like projection of the intermediate member allow, through the rotative movement, to adjust the length of the assembly with no axial movement of the intermediate member. A clamping mechanism is provided to ensure that the three components be fastened adequately and that a solid assembly is formed for ensuring safety for the users.
