  • Patent number: 12272031
    Abstract: An image inpainting system is described that receives an input image that includes a masked region. From the input image, the image inpainting system generates a synthesized image that depicts an object in the masked region by selecting a first code that represents a known factor characterizing a visual appearance of the object and a second code that represents an unknown factor characterizing the visual appearance of the object apart from the known factor in latent space. The input image, the first code, and the second code are provided as input to a generative adversarial network that is trained to generate the synthesized image using contrastive losses. Different synthesized images are generated from the same input image using different combinations of first and second codes, and the synthesized images are output for display.

  • Patent number: 12266132
    Abstract: Seismic image data acquired for a subsurface formation from a data acquisition system is input into a deep neural network to generate fault detection data for the subsurface formation comprising probability values at a grid of locations in the subsurface formation. The fault detection data is preprocessed via downsampling and distributed weighted factors and inputted into a generative adversarial network (GAN) upscaling generator to create high resolution fault detection data with minimized distortion and artifacts. The GAN upscaling generator is pre trained on synthetic fault data in a GAN training system using adversarial training against a GAN upscaling discriminator, and both the GAN upscaling generator and the GAN upscaling discriminator learn to approximate the distribution of the synthetic fault data.
