Patent number: 11972512Abstract: Directional propagation editing techniques are described, in one example, a digital image, a depth map, and a direction are obtained by an image editing system. The image editing system then generates features. To do so, the image editing system generates features from the digital image and the depth map for each pixel based on the direction, e.g., until an edge of the digital image is reached. In an implementation, instead of storing a value of the depth directly, a ratio is stored based on a depth in the depth map and a depth of a point along the direction. The image editing system then forms a feature volume using the features, e.g., as three dimensionally stacked features. The feature volume is employed by the image editing system as part of editing the digital image to form an edited digital image.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Julien Philip, David Nicholson Griffiths

Patent number: 11966472Abstract: A known-deployed file metadata repository (KDFMR) and analysis engine enumerates reference lists of files stored on a software delivery point (SDP) and compares the enumerated list of files and associated metadata to previously stored values in the KDFMR. If newly stored or modified files are identified, the analysis engine acquires the files from the SDP. Each file is analyzed to determine whether the file is an atomic file or a container file and metadata is generated or extracted. Each file stored in a container file is recursively extracted and analyzed, where metadata is generated for each extracted file and each container file. The KDFMR periodically analyzes the files stored on the SDP for differences to maintain the currency of the KDFMR data with respect to files stored on the SDP. Storage or modification of files on the SDP triggers analysis of the associated file. KDFMR data is updated with metadata determined based on sandbox detonation of files and/or identified artifacts of known-deployed files.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Dan E. Summers, Jeffrey Texada, Matthew E. Kelly, Steven Dimaria
