  • Publication number: 20190114818
    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 by: determining the vectors pixels that correspond to the image pixels affected by the image editing operation and mapping the pixel values of the image pixels represented by the determined offset vectors to the affected pixels.

  • Publication number: 20190114687
    Abstract: A digital medium environment is described to facilitate recommendations based on vectors generated using feature word embeddings. A recommendation system receives data that describes at least one attribute for a user profile, at least one item, and an interaction between the user profile and the at least one item. The recommendation system associates each user profile attribute, each item, and each interaction between a user profile and an item as a word, using natural language processing, and combines the words into sentences. The sentences are input to a word embedding model to determine feature vector representations describing relationships between the user profile attributes, items, and explicit and implicit interactions. From the feature vector representations, the recommendation system ascertains a similarity between different features.

  • Publication number: 20190114795
    Abstract: A digital medium environment includes at least one computing device. Systems and techniques are described herein for reassembling and repairing image sections (e.g., torn pieces of an image) by generating masks for the image sections that do not include content of the image sections, and matching image sections along contours (e.g., edges or sides of the image sections) based on shapes of the masks, features of content extracted from the image sections, or combinations thereof, depending on whether an ambiguity is determined. An ambiguity is determined when not all image sections included in the scans are matched by shape, or are redundantly matched. A composite image is reassembled from the image sections based on matching image sections. Furthermore, a composite image is repaired by adding material to the composite image from an additional image (e.g., an image other than the composite image and the image sections).

  • Publication number: 20190114748
    Abstract: Digital image completion using deep learning 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 framework that combines generative and discriminative neural networks based on learning architecture of the generative adversarial networks. From the holey digital image, the generative neural network generates a filled digital image having hole-filling content in place of holes. The discriminative neural networks detect whether the filled digital image and the hole-filling digital content correspond to or include computer-generated content or are photo-realistic. The generating and detecting are iteratively continued until the discriminative neural networks fail to detect computer-generated content for the filled digital image and hole-filling content or until detection surpasses a threshold difficulty.

  • Publication number: 20190108657
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described in which signed distance fields (SDFs) can be used to approximate multicolored vector art. A source image, represented as multicolored vector art is received and processed to provide a multicolored planar graph. The graph is processed to provide a SDF mask for each of the colors in the graph. For each of the colors in the graph, a color plane is generated, paired with the corresponding mask and represents the source image's color underneath the mask. Each color plane can be dilated and then one or more of the color planes or masks can be down sampled and then used to synthesize a source image which provides an approximated source image which retains the hard edges of the original image.
