Patent number: 11776184Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for image editing. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image editing system for perform image object replacement or image region replacement (e.g., an image editing system for replacing an object or region of an image with an object or region from another image). For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. The original image and the replacement image (e.g., the image including a desirable object or region) include layers of masks. A sky from the replacement image may replace the sky of the image to produce an aesthetically pleasing composite image.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: ADOBE, INC.Inventors: Jianming Zhang, Alan Erickson, I-Ming Pao, Guotong Feng, Kalyan Sunkavalli, Frederick Mandia, Hyunghwan Byun, Betty Leong, Meredith Payne Stotzner, Yukie Takahashi, Quynn Megan Le, Sarah Kong

Patent number: 8493508Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processor includes a generator, a high-resolution image generator, a separator, a texture generator, and a combiner. The generator compresses an input image to generate a low-resolution image. The high-resolution image generator generates, from the input image, a high-resolution image that is higher in resolution than the input image. The separator separates the low-resolution image generated by the generator into a texture component image and a frame component image. The texture generator generates texture component from the texture component image and the frame component image separated by the separator. The combiner combines the texture component generated by the texture generator with the high-resolution image generated by the high-resolution image generator to generate an output image.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Yukie Takahashi
