  • Publication number: 20240171848
    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 provide, for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, a digital image displaying a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects comprising a plurality of different types of objects. The disclosed systems generate, utilizing a segmentation neural network and without user input, an object mask for objects of the plurality of objects. The disclosed systems determine, utilizing a distractor detection neural network, a classification for the objects of the plurality of objects. The disclosed systems remove at least one object from the digital image, based on classifying the at least one object as a distracting object, by deleting the object mask for the at least one object.

  • Publication number: 20240169500
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image processing are described. Embodiments of the present disclosure receive an image comprising a first region that includes content and a second region to be inpainted. Noise is then added to the image to obtain a noisy image, and a plurality of intermediate output images are generated based on the noisy image using a diffusion model trained using a perceptual loss. The intermediate output images predict a final output image based on a corresponding intermediate noise level of the diffusion model. The diffusion model then generates the final output image based on the intermediate output image. The final output image includes inpainted content in the second region that is consistent with the content in the first region.

  • Publication number: 20240169501
    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 and without user input, object masks for objects in a digital image. The disclosed systems determine foreground and background abutting an object mask. The disclosed systems generate an expanded object mask by expanding the object mask into the foreground abutting the object mask by a first amount and expanding the object mask into the background abutting the object mask by a second amount that differs from the first amount. The disclosed systems inpaint a hole corresponding to the expanded object mask utilizing an inpainting neural network.

  • Publication number: 20240159956
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a head-mounted, near-eye display system comprises a stack of waveguides having integral spacers separating the waveguides. The waveguides may each include diffractive optical elements that are formed simultaneously with the spacers by imprinting. The spacers are disposed on one major surface of each of the waveguides and indentations are provided on an opposite major surface of each of the waveguides. The indentations are sized and positioned to align with the spacers, thereby forming a self-aligned stack of waveguides. Tops of the spacers may be provided with light scattering features, anti-reflective coatings, and/or light absorbing adhesive to prevent light leakage between the waveguides. As seen in a top-down view, the spacers may be elongated along the same axis as the diffractive optical elements. The waveguides may include structures (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20240155556
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can be a mobile terminating (MT) device that may receive data from another UE or other network element via a telecommunication network. When a small data payload is available for an MT UE, a base station of the telecommunication network can send a paging message to the UE that includes a Mobile Terminating Small Data Transmission (MT-SDT) paging cause. Based on the MT-SDT paging cause in the paging message, the UE can use Small Data Transmission (SDT) procedures to respond to the paging message. The SDT procedures can allow the UE to obtain the small data payload while the UE remains in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Inactive state.

  • Publication number: 20240135514
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via multi-layered scene completion techniques facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a digital image portraying a first object and a second object against a background, where the first object occludes a portion of the second object. Additionally, the disclosed systems pre-process the digital image to generate a first content fill for the portion of the second object occluded by the first object and a second content fill for a portion of the background occluded by the second object. After pre-processing, the disclosed systems detect one or more user interactions to move or delete the first object from the digital image. The disclosed systems further modify the digital image by moving or deleting the first object and exposing the first content fill for the portion of the second object.
