  • Publication number: 20240169630
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing to synthesize shadows for object(s). For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a digital image depicting a scene. The disclosed systems access an object mask of the object depicting in the digital image. The disclosed systems further combine the object mask, the digital image, and a noise representation to generate a combined representation. Moreover, the disclosed systems generate a shadow for the object from the combined representation and further generates the modified digital image by combining the shadow with the digital image.

  • Publication number: 20240169628
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that provides a graphical user interface experience to move objects and generate new shadows within a digital image scene. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a digital image depicting a scene. The disclosed systems receive a selection to position an object in a first location within the scene. Further, the disclosed systems composite an image by placing the object at the first location within the scene of the digital image. Moreover, the disclosed systems generate a modified digital image having a shadow of the object where the shadow is consistent with the scene and provides the modified digital image to the client device.

  • Publication number: 20240169631
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing to remove a shadow for an object. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a digital image depicting a scene. The disclosed systems access a shadow mask of the shadow in a first location. Further, the disclosed systems generate the modified digital image without the shadow by generating a fill for the first location that preserves a visible location of the first location. Moreover, the disclosed systems generate the digital image without the shadow for the object by combining the fill with the digital image.

  • Publication number: 20240147644
    Abstract: A foldable display device may have housing portions coupled by a hinge. A flexible display may overlap the hinge. The hinge may have portions that rotate relative to each other about rotational axes that lie above the hinge to help reduce stress to the display. The hinge may have gear plates with interlocked teeth that synchronize rotational movement between left and right halves of the hinge. The hinge may also have asymmetric friction clips that impose different amounts of rotational friction to the hinge depending on the direction of rotation of the hinge.

  • Patent number: 9146171
    Abstract: A method of calibrating an electronic wheel balancer includes mounting a calibration wheel on the balancer shaft, the calibration wheel including mounting pins configured to engage mounting holes on a face plate. The balancer emits a visible towards the calibration wheel, the beam indicating a home position for an inner plane calibration weight on the calibration wheel. The calibration wheel is rotated to the home position and an inner weight plane calibration weight is attached to the calibration wheel. The balancer shaft is automatically rotated to obtain sensor data from force transducers on the balancer. Using the sensor data, the balancer automatically calculates and stores inner weight plane reference data. The motor shaft is stopped and the inner plane calibration weight is moved to an outer weight plane position on the calibration wheel.
