Abstract: Techniques for modifying a garment based on gestures are presented herein. An access module can access a first set of sensor data from a first sensor, and a second set of sensor data from a second sensor. A garment simulation module can generate a three-dimensional (3D) garment model of a garment available for sale draped on an avatar based on the first set of sensor data and the second set of sensor data. A display module can cause a presentation, on a display of a device, of the 3D garment model draped on the avatar. Additionally, the garment simulation module can determine a modification gesture associated with the 3D garment model draped on the avatar based on the first set of sensor data and the second set of sensor data. Furthermore, the garment simulation module can modify the 3D garment model based on the determined modification gesture.

Abstract: In accordance with techniques for controlling hallucinations in generated images, a generative image model receives an input image depicting an object and having a first background, and the generative image model produces a generated image depicting the object by replacing the first background with a second background. Further, a salient object detection model generates a first object mask and a second object mask. The first object mask defines a first positioning of the object within the input image, while the second object mask defines a second positioning of the object within the generated image. A hallucination metric capturing an amount of deformation introduced into the object by the generative image model is determined based on a comparison of the first object mask and the second object mask. In one or more implementations, the generated image is output based on the hallucination metric meeting a threshold.

Abstract: Physical object boundary detection techniques and systems are described. In one example, an augmented reality module generates three dimensional point cloud data. This data describes depths at respective points within a physical environment that includes the physical object. A physical object boundary detection module is then employed to filter the point cloud data by removing points that correspond to a ground plane. The module then performs a nearest neighbor search to locate a subset of the points within the filtered point cloud data that correspond to the physical object. Based on this subset, the module projects the subset of points onto the ground plane to generate a two-dimensional boundary. The two-dimensional boundary is then extruded based on a height determined from a point having a maximum distance from the ground plane from the filtered cloud point data.

Abstract: In accordance with the described techniques, a configuration update is received changing configuration parameters of a data stream processing application from a source configuration to a target configuration. In addition, the configuration update specifies incremental update parameters indicating how different partitions of the data stream processing application are to be incrementally updated. The computing device is configured to incrementally update the data stream processing application. During a time interval indicated by the incremental update parameters, for instance, the target configuration is applied to a first partition, and the source configuration is applied to a second partition. Thus, during the time interval, the first partition processes events of a data stream in accordance with the target configuration, and the second partition processes events of the data stream in accordance with the source configuration.

Abstract: Linked packet tracing techniques for software load balancers are described, as leveraging a client identifier generated to link packet traces between packets of a service provider system. In one example, a client-side packet is received from a client device by a processing system. From this, a client identifier is generated by the processing system based on the client device. In response, a modified client-side packet is generated by the processing system by modifying the client-side packet to include the client identifier. The modified client-side packet is transmitted by the processing system to a server system. A server-side packet is then received by the processing system from the server system. In response, the server-side packet is detected as including the client-identifier. From this, the server-side packet is linked to at least the modified client-side packet based on the detecting, and the processing system outputs a result of the linked packets.
