Publication number: 20240070884Abstract: An image processing system uses a depth-conditioned autoencoder to generate a modified image from an input image such that the modified image maintains an overall structure from the input image while modifying textural features. An encoder of the depth-conditioned autoencoder extracts a structure latent code from an input image and depth information for the input image. A generator of the depth-conditioned autoencoder generates a modified image using the structure latent code and a texture latent code. The modified image generated by the depth-conditioned autoencoder includes the structural features from the input image while incorporating textural features of the texture latent code. In some aspects, the autoencoder is depth-conditioned during training by augmenting training images with depth information. The autoencoder is trained to preserve the depth information when generating images.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Taesung PARK, Sylvain PARIS, Richard ZHANG, Elya SHECHTMAN

Patent number: 11880957Abstract: One example method involves operations for receiving a request to transform an input image into a target image. Operations further include providing the input image to a machine learning model trained to adapt images. Training the machine learning model includes accessing training data having a source domain of images and a target domain of images with a target style. Training further includes using a pre-trained generative model to generate an adapted source domain of adapted images having the target style. The adapted source domain is generated by determining a rate of change for parameters of the target style, generating weighted parameters by applying a weight to each of the parameters based on their respective rate of change, and applying the weighted parameters to the source domain. Additionally, operations include using the machine learning model to generate the target image by modifying parameters of the input image using the target style.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Yijun Li, Richard Zhang, Jingwan Lu, Elya Shechtman
