Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatic sky replacement with edge lighting enhancements. A method of automatic sky replacement includes generating a clean mask and a compositing mask for an input image using a mask generation network. A plurality of layers is generated using the clean mask and the compositing mask. The plurality of layers includes an edge lighting layer generated based on a subset of the plurality of layers and the clean mask. A composite image is generated by combining the input image and the plurality of layers including the edge lighting layer.

Abstract: Some disclosed embodiments are directed to methods and systems for performing pair-wise delta compression. For example, systems obtain a set of files to be compressed into a single compressed file. The system identifies different attributes related to the set of files. For each file in the set of files, the system predicts an optimized set of candidate compression files and calculates a delta between each file in the optimized set and the target file corresponding to the optimized set. After identifying the smallest delta, the system compresses the selected pair of files associated with the smallest delta in order to generate the single compressed file for the set of files.

Abstract: A system and method of capturing electroencephalograms (EEG) in real-time are disclosed. The system includes an EEG controller. A user wears or puts on the carrier. The carrier includes a casing for receiving the EEG controller, and includes a plate for connecting an image capturing unit. The EEG controller connects to cables having EEG sensors placed over the head of the user. The EEG sensors collect EEG signals and send them to the EEG controller via the cables. The image capturing unit captures images or video surrounding the user. The EEG controller captures data from the EEG sensors and the image capturing unit to monitor and evaluate the clinical status of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for image editing. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image editing system for perform image object replacement or image region replacement (e.g., an image editing system for replacing an object or region of an image with an object or region from another image). For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. The original image and the replacement image (e.g., the image including a desirable object or region) include layers of masks. A sky from the replacement image may replace the sky of the image to produce an aesthetically pleasing composite image.

For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. According to some embodiments described herein, thumbnails, region location information, and image metadata from multiple preset images can be stored together and loaded for presentation and selection of a preset image for replacing a region of an image. Once a preset image (e.g., an image with a replacement sky) is selected, a high-resolution version of the image can be loaded and used to generate a composite image.

For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. According to some embodiments described herein, real-time color harmonization based on the visible sky region may be used to produce more natural colorization. In some examples, horizon-aware sky alignment and placement with advanced padding may also be used. For example, the horizons of the original image and the replacement image may be automatically detected and aligned, and color harmonization may be performed based on the aligned images.
