Abstract: In some embodiments, a given frame or picture may have different shading rates. In one embodiment in some areas of the frame or picture the shading rate may be less than once per pixel and in other places it may be once per pixel. Examples where the shading rate may be reduced include areas where there is motion and camera defocus, areas of peripheral blur, and in general, any case where the visibility is reduced anyway. The shading rate may be changed in a region, such as a shading quad, by changing the size of the region.

Abstract: A visual lens system is described that identifies, automatically and without user intervention, digital tool parameters for achieving a visual appearance of an image region in raster image data. To do so, the visual lens system processes raster image data using a tool region detection network trained to output a mask indicating whether the digital tool is useable to achieve a visual appearance of each pixel in the raster image data. The mask is then processed by a tool parameter estimation network trained to generate a probability distribution indicating an estimation of discrete parameter configurations applicable to the digital tool to achieve the visual appearance. The visual lens system generates an image tool description for the parameter configuration and incorporates the image tool description into an interactive image for the raster image data. The image tool description enables transfer of the digital tool parameter configuration to different image data.

Abstract: This application is directed to matching edges of polygons representing neighboring regions in a map user application. A computer system obtains a first polygon and a second polygon, and the second polygon is connected to the first polygon via polygon edges that are at least partially mismatched. Automatically and without user intervention, the computer system combines the first polygon and the second polygon to form a joined polygon defined by an outline of the first polygon and the second polygon. A region defined by the second polygon is subtracted from a region defined by the joined polygon to form a new region. The computer system defines an updated first polygon as an outline of the new region and renders, on a screen, the updated first polygon and the second polygon with matching edges.
