  • Patent number: 11544831
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to training and utilizing an image exposure transformation network to generate a long-exposure image from a single short-exposure image (e.g., still image). In various embodiments, the image exposure transformation network is trained using adversarial learning, long-exposure ground truth images, and a multi-term loss function. In some embodiments, the image exposure transformation network includes an optical flow prediction network and/or an appearance guided attention network. Trained embodiments of the image exposure transformation network generate realistic long-exposure images from single short-exposure images without additional information.

  • Patent number: 11436775
    Abstract: Predicting patch displacement maps using a neural network is described. Initially, a digital image on which an image editing operation is to be performed is provided as input to a patch matcher having an offset prediction neural network. From this image and based on the image editing operation for which this network is trained, the offset prediction neural network generates an offset prediction formed as a displacement map, which has offset vectors that represent a displacement of pixels of the digital image to different locations for performing the image editing operation. Pixel values of the digital image are copied to the image pixels affected by the operation.

  • Publication number: 20220245824
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generate refined segmentation masks for digital visual media items. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize a segmentation refinement neural network to generate an initial segmentation mask for a digital visual media item. The disclosed systems further utilize the segmentation refinement neural network to generate one or more refined segmentation masks based on uncertainly classified pixels identified from the initial segmentation mask. To illustrate, in some implementations, the disclosed systems utilize the segmentation refinement neural network to redetermine whether a set of uncertain pixels corresponds to one or more objects depicted in the digital visual media item based on low-level (e.g., local) feature values extracted from feature maps generated for the digital visual media item.

  • Publication number: 20220164666
    Abstract: A method for performing efficient mixed-precision search for an artificial neural network (ANN) includes training the ANN by sampling selected candidate quantizers of a bank of candidate quantizer and updating network parameters for a next iteration based on outputs of layers of the ANN. The outputs are computed by processing quantized data with operators (e.g., convolution). The quantizers converge to optimal bit-widths that reduce classification losses bounded by complexity constrains.

  • Patent number: 11334971
    Abstract: Digital image completion by learning generation and patch matching jointly is described. Initially, a digital image having at least one hole is received. This holey digital image is provided as input to an image completer formed with a dual-stage framework that combines a coarse image neural network and an image refinement network. The coarse image neural network generates a coarse prediction of imagery for filling the holes of the holey digital image. The image refinement network receives the coarse prediction as input, refines the coarse prediction, and outputs a filled digital image having refined imagery that fills these holes. The image refinement network generates refined imagery using a patch matching technique, which includes leveraging information corresponding to patches of known pixels for filtering patches generated based on the coarse prediction. Based on this, the image completer outputs the filled digital image with the refined imagery.

  • Publication number: 20220138913
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for accurately and efficiently removing objects from digital images taken from a camera viewfinder stream. For example, the disclosed systems access digital images from a camera viewfinder stream in connection with an undesired moving object depicted in the digital images. The disclosed systems generate a temporal window of the digital images concatenated with binary masks indicating the undesired moving object in each digital image. The disclosed systems further utilizes a 3D to 2D generator as part of a 3D to 2D generative adversarial neural network in connection with the temporal window to generate a target digital image with the region associated with the undesired moving object in-painted. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed systems provide the target digital image to a camera viewfinder display to show a user how a future digital photograph will look without the undesired moving object.

  • Patent number: 11321847
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an image manipulation application receives an incomplete image that includes a hole area lacking image content. The image manipulation application applies a contour detection operation to the incomplete image to detect an incomplete contour of a foreground object in the incomplete image. The hole area prevents the contour detection operation from detecting a completed contour of the foreground object. The image manipulation application further applies a contour completion model to the incomplete contour and the incomplete image to generate the completed contour for the foreground object. Based on the completed contour and the incomplete image, the image manipulation application generates image content for the hole area to generate a completed image.

  • Publication number: 20220124257
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for generating artistic images by applying an artistic-effect to one or more frames of a video stream or digital images. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed system captures a video stream utilizing a camera of a computing device. The disclosed system deploys a distilled artistic-effect neural network on the computing device to generate an artistic version of the captured video stream at a first resolution in real time. The disclosed system can provide the artistic video stream for display via the computing device. Based on an indication of a capture event, the disclosed system utilizes the distilled artistic-effect neural network to generate an artistic image at a higher resolution than the artistic video stream. Furthermore, the disclosed system tunes and utilizes an artistic-effect patch generative adversarial neural network to modify parameters for the distilled artistic-effect neural network.

  • Publication number: 20220121841
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing a machine learning model trained to determine subtle pose differentiations to analyze a repository of captured digital images of a particular user to automatically capture digital images portraying the user. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a convolutional neural network to determine a pose/facial expression similarity metric between a sample digital image from a camera viewfinder stream of a client device and one or more previously captured digital images portraying the user. The disclosed systems can determine that the similarity metric satisfies a similarity threshold, and automatically capture a digital image utilizing a camera device of the client device. Thus, the disclosed systems can automatically and efficiently capture digital images, such as selfies, that accurately match previous digital images portraying a variety of unique facial expressions specific to individual users.
