Patent number: 11989650Abstract: According to one implementation, a system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code including a trained neural network (NN). The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an input image including a pixel anomaly, identify, using the trained NN, one or more salient regions of the input image, and determine whether the pixel anomaly is located inside any of the one or more salient regions. The hardware processor further executes the software code to assign a first priority to the pixel anomaly when it is determined that the pixel anomaly is located inside any of the one or more salient regions, and to assign a second priority, lower than the first priority, to the pixel anomaly when it is determined that the pixel anomaly is not located inside any of the one or more salient regions.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Erika Varis Doggett, David T. Nguyen, Binghao Tang, Hailing Zhou, Anna M. Wolak, Erick Keyu Qi

Patent number: 11797649Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code including a predictive model. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an input including an image having a pixel anomaly, and image data identifying the location of the pixel anomaly in the image. The software code uses the predictive model to extract a global feature map of a global image region of the image, the pixel anomaly being located within the global image region; to extract a local feature map of a local image region of the image, the pixel anomaly being located within the local image region and the local image region being smaller than the global image region; and to predict, based on the global feature map and the local feature map, a distraction level of the pixel anomaly within the image.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Erika Varis Doggett, David T.
