  • Publication number: 20250061626
    Abstract: Techniques for performing a digital operation on a digital image are described along with methods and systems employing such techniques. According to the techniques, an input (e.g., an input stroke) is received by, for example, a processing system. Based upon the input, an area of the digital image upon which a digital operation (e.g., for removal of a distractor within the area) is to be performed is determined. In an implementation, one or more metrics of an input stroke are analyzed, typically in real time, to at least partially determine the area upon which the digital operation is to be performed. In an additional or alternative implementation, the input includes a first point, a second point and a connector, and the area is at least partially determined by a location of the first point relative to a location of the second point and/or by locations of the first point and/or second point relative to one or more edges of the digital image.

  • Publication number: 20240428384
    Abstract: Inpainting dispatch techniques for digital images are described. In one or more examples, an inpainting system includes a plurality of inpainting modules. The inpainting modules are configured to employ a variety of different techniques, respectively, as part of performing an inpainting operation. An inpainting dispatch module is also included as part of the inpainting system that is configured to select which of the plurality of inpainting modules are to be used to perform an inpainting operation for one or more regions in a digital image, automatically and without user intervention.

  • Publication number: 20240338869
    Abstract: An image processing system obtains an input image (e.g., a user provided image, etc.) and a mask indicating an edit region of the image. A user selects an image editing mode for an image generation network from a plurality of image editing modes. The image generation network generates an output image using the input image, the mask, and the image editing mode.

  • Publication number: 20240331214
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image processing (e.g., image extension or image uncropping) using neural networks are described. One or more aspects include obtaining an image (e.g., a source image, a user provided image, etc.) having an initial aspect ratio, and identifying a target aspect ratio (e.g., via user input) that is different from the initial aspect ratio. The image may be positioned in an image frame having the target aspect ratio, where the image frame includes an image region containing the image and one or more extended regions outside the boundaries of the image. An extended image may be generated (e.g., using a generative neural network), where the extended image includes the image in the image region as well as generated image portions in the extended regions and the one or more generated image portions comprise an extension of a scene element depicted in the image.

  • Publication number: 20240281577
    Abstract: Discontinuity modeling techniques of computing functions of a program are described. In one example, a program has a computing function that includes a discontinuity. An input is received by the data modeling system that identifies an axis. A plurality of samples is then generated by the data modeling system along the axis based on an output of the program. The samples are then used as a basis by the data modeling system to generate a data model that models the discontinuity. The data model includes, in one example, one or more gradients and models the discontinuity using a 1D box kernel.

  • Publication number: 20240169500
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image processing are described. Embodiments of the present disclosure receive an image comprising a first region that includes content and a second region to be inpainted. Noise is then added to the image to obtain a noisy image, and a plurality of intermediate output images are generated based on the noisy image using a diffusion model trained using a perceptual loss. The intermediate output images predict a final output image based on a corresponding intermediate noise level of the diffusion model. The diffusion model then generates the final output image based on the intermediate output image. The final output image includes inpainted content in the second region that is consistent with the content in the first region.

  • Patent number: 11869173
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments are directed to inpainting one or more portions of a target image based on merging (or selecting) one or more portions of a warped image with (or from) one or more portions of an inpainting candidate (e.g., via a learning model). This, among other functionality described herein, resolves the inaccuracies of existing image inpainting technologies.
