  • Patent number: 12190412
    Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for generating interactive visualizations for multi-nodal transfers that may involve terminal nodes and multiple transitional nodes by using various protocols to acquire data from computing systems or devices associated with each node. A first visualization layer comprising a set of geographic or physical indicators in a multi-nodal transfer route (which comprises a set of three or more nodes) may be generated. API protocols (and/or non-API protocols) corresponding to each node in the transfer route may be identified. The protocols may be executed to obtain, from computing systems and devices associated with the nodes, data packets used to generate a second visualization layer, which may comprise graphics that visually depict details of a transfer along the transfer route. An overlay of visualization layers may be displayed such that the graphics are displayed in association with multiple nodes.

  • Patent number: 12136151
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating digital images depicting photorealistic scenes utilizing a digital image collaging neural network.

In some cases, the disclosed systems break down the process of generating a collage digital into generating images representing different regions such as a background and a foreground to be collaged into a final result. For example, utilizing the digital image collaging neural network, the disclosed systems determine scene layouts and pixel colors for both foreground digital images and background digital images to ultimately collage the foreground and background together into a collage digital image depicting a real-world scene.
