Abstract: Various embodiments provide for systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for annotating a digital image with a texture fill. An annotation system may receive a user input defining a border separating a first portion of a target digital image from a second portion of the target digital image. The annotation system may then generate a contour mask, such as a binary mask, for the target digital image based on the user-defined border. The annotation system may then apply a media overlay to the target image based on the contour mask. In particular, the contour mask can define portions of the target digital image such that the annotation system will apply a media overlay to at least one of those portions while not applying the media overlay to remaining portions of the target digital image.

Abstract: A dolly zoom effect can be applied to one or more images captured via a resource-constrained device (e.g., a mobile smartphone) by manipulating the size of a target feature while the background in the one or more images changes due to physical movement of the resource-constrained device. The target feature can be detected using facial recognition or shape detection techniques. The target feature can be resized before the size is manipulated as the background changes (e.g., changes perspective).

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to modify image content. One aspect includes identifying, by one or more electronic hardware processors, an image and content within the image, determining, by the one or more electronic hardware processors, a sky region of the image, determining, by the one or more electronic hardware processors, whether the content within the image is located within the sky region of the image, and in response to the content being within the sky region of the image, modifying, by the one or more electronic hardware processors, the content based on fractal Brownian motion.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to enhance an image on a mobile computing device. In some aspects, a user interface on the mobile computing device provides a plurality of image filters, each of the image filters associated with a different replacement sky type. Upon application of one of the plurality of image filters to an image, the mobile computing device is configured to identify a sky portion of the image, modify a color mapping of a non-sky portion of the image, and replace the sky portion of the image with replacement sky data corresponding to the applied image filter.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, device and non-transitory computer storage medium for processing an image. The method includes: obtaining an image by a monocular camera; extracting image features with different levels based on the image; determining a fused feature by fusing the image features with different levels; and determining a depth distribution feature map of the image based on the fused feature, where a pixel value of each pixel point in the depth distribution feature map is a depth value.

Abstract: An active depth detection system can generate a depth map from an image and user interaction data, such as a pair of clicks. The active depth detection system can be implemented as a recurrent neural network that can receive the user interaction data as runtime inputs after training. The active depth detection system can store the generated depth map for further processing, such as image manipulation or real-world object detection.
