  • Publication number: 20240046532
    Abstract: Techniques for reducing a distractor object in a first image are presented herein. A system can access a mask and the first image. A distractor object in the first image can be inside a region of interest and can have a pixel with an original attribute. Additionally, the system can process, using a machine-learned inpainting model, the first image and the mask to generate an inpainted image. The pixel of the distractor object in the inpainted image can have an inpainted attribute in chromaticity channels. Moreover, the system can determine a palette transform based on a comparison of the first image and the inpainted image. The transform attribute can be different from the inpainted attribute. Furthermore, the system can process the first image to generate a recolorized image. The pixel in the recolorized image can have a recolorized attribute based on the transform attribute of the palette transform.

  • Publication number: 20230015117
    Abstract: Techniques for tuning an image editing operator for reducing a distractor in raw image data are presented herein. The image editing operator can access the raw image data and a mask. The mask can indicate a region of interest associated with the raw image data. The image editing operator can process the raw image data and the mask to generate processed image data. Additionally, a trained saliency model can process at least the processed image data within the region of interest to generate a saliency map that provides saliency values. Moreover, a saliency loss function can compare the saliency values provided by the saliency map for the processed image data within the region of interest to one or more target saliency values. Subsequently, the one or more parameter values of the image editing operator can be modified based at least in part on the saliency loss function.

  • Patent number: 9773473
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable medium, and method are provided for generating images based on adaptations of the human visual system. An input image is received, an effect provoking change is received, and an afterimage resulting from a cumulative effect of human visual adaptation is computed based on the effect provoking change and a per-photoreceptor type physiological adaptation of the human visual system. The computed afterimage may include a bleaching afterimage effect and/or a local adaptation afterimage effect. The computed afterimage is then accumulated into an output image for display.
