  • Patent number: 12354341
    Abstract: One or more aspects of the present disclosure enable high accuracy computer vision and image processing techniques with decreased system resource requirements (e.g., with decreased computational load, shallower neural network designs, etc.). As described in more detail herein, one or more aspects of the described techniques may leverage key layers (e.g., certain key layers of a neural network) and compressed tensor comparisons to efficiently exploit temporal redundancy in videos and other slow changing signals (e.g., to efficiently reduce neural network inference computational burden, with only minor increase in data transfer power consumption). For example, key layers of a neural network may be identified, and temporal/spatial redundancy across frames may be efficiently leveraged such that only a computation region in a subsequent frame n+1 is re-computed in layers between identified key layers, while remaining feature-map calculations may be disabled in the layers between the identified key layers.

  • Patent number: 12204610
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for training a generative inpainting neural network to accurately generate inpainted digital images via object-aware training and/or masked regularization. For example, the disclosed systems utilize an object-aware training technique to learn parameters for a generative inpainting neural network based on masking individual object instances depicted within sample digital images of a training dataset. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems also (or alternatively) utilize a masked regularization technique as part of training to prevent overfitting by penalizing a discriminator neural network utilizing a regularization term that is based on an object mask.
