  • USER INPUT BASED DISTRACTION REMOVAL IN MEDIA ITEMS
    Publication number: 20230118361
    Abstract: A media application receives user input that indicates one or more objects to be erased from a media item. The media application translates the user input to a bounding box. The media application provides a crop of the media item based on the bounding box to a segmentation machine-learning model. The segmentation machine-learning model outputs a segmentation mask for one or more segmented objects in the crop of the media item and a corresponding segmentation score that indicates a quality of the segmentation mask.

  • Method, apparatus and system for providing wireless network speed information
    Patent number: 10498615
    Abstract: A wireless device and method detect a current signal strength of each of a number of wireless networks, determine an expected end-to-end data speed for each of the wireless networks using wireless network end-to-end data speed information that was historically compiled from prior connections with the wireless networks and using the detected current signal strength of each of the wireless networks. The wireless device and method connects to at least one wireless network based on the determined expected end-to-end data speed and/or provides a user interface that includes the determined expected end-to-end data speed and the detected signal strength indication of each of the wireless networks.
