Patent number: 9330476Abstract: An image is displayed in a computer system. The image includes contents having a feature visible therein. The contents have a region thereof defined to be provided with additional content in generating a modified image. An input is received comprising a semantic mark to be placed on the image. The semantic mark indicates an inside-region part inside the region and an outside-region part outside the region. The additional content for the region is determined using a patch-based optimization algorithm applied to the image. The patch-based optimization algorithm (i) identifies the additional content for the inside-region part based on the outside-region part and not on an area of the image that the semantic mark does not indicate, and (ii) identifies the additional content for a remainder of the region without being restricted to the outside-region part. The modified image having the additional content in the region is stored.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2009Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Eli Shechtman, Dan Goldman

Patent number: 8811771Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium for performing content based transitions between images. Image content within each image of a set of images are analyzed to determine at least one respective characteristic metric for each image. A respective transition score for each pair of at least a subset of the images is determined with respect to each transition effect of a plurality of transition effects based on the at least one respective characteristic metric for each image. Transition effects implementing transitions between successive images for a sequence of the images are determined based on the transition scores. An indication of the determined transition effects is stored. The determined transition effects are useable to present the images in a slideshow or other image sequence presentation.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Eli Shechtman, Shai Bagon, Aseem O.

Patent number: 8355592Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a modified image includes initiating, in a computer device, a patch-based optimization algorithm for using a first image to generate a second image. The method includes identifying, in a computer device, a first feature of a first image. The identification corresponds to a constraint on the first feature for generating a second image, The constraint restricts at least one of location and geometric orientation in the second image of patches representing the first feature. The method includes identifying, using the computer device, contents for the second image by processing patches in the image in iterations of the patch-based optimization algorithm. The patch-based optimization complies with the constraint, The method includes generating the second image from the identified contents based on the iterations of the patch-based optimization algorithm. The second image includes a second feature generated to represent the first feature and complying with the constraint.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2009Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Eli Shechtman, Dan Goldman

Patent number: 8244063Abstract: A method includes measuring the likelihood that two different space-time video segments could have resulted from a similar underlying motion field without computing the field. The method may be employed to identify locations in a video sequence where at least one behavioral phenomenon similar to that demonstrated in the video segment occurs. For example, the phenomenon might be a dynamic behavior, an action, a rigid motion, and/or a non-rigid motion.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2006Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Yeda Research & Development Co. Ltd. at the Weizmann Institute of ScienceInventors: Eli Shechtman, Michal Irani

Patent number: 8189866Abstract: The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods and program products applying a plurality of low-level feature detectors to an image where each low-level feature detector produces a respective low-level feature vector that represents a detection result. The low-level feature vectors are provided to a plurality of higher-level feature detectors where each higher-level feature detector produces a respective higher-level feature vector that represents a detection result based on a distribution of features in one or more of the low-level feature vectors. The higher-level feature vectors are then provided to a classifier in order to classify a human-action in the image.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Chunhui Gu, Eli Shechtman

Publication number: 20100104158Abstract: A method includes matching at least portions of first, second signals using local self-similarity descriptors of the signals. The matching includes computing a local self-similarity descriptor for each one of at least a portion of points in the first signal, forming a query ensemble of the descriptors for the first signal and seeking an ensemble of descriptors of the second signal which matches the query ensemble of descriptors. This matching can be used for image categorization, object classification, object recognition, image segmentation, image alignment, video categorization, action recognition, action classification, video segmentation, video alignment, signal alignment, multi-sensor signal alignment, multi-sensor signal matching, optical character recognition, image and video synthesis, correspondence estimation, signal registration and change detection. It may also be used to synthesize a new signal with elements similar to those of a guiding signal synthesized from portions of the reference signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2007Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventors: Eli Shechtman, Michal Irani

Patent number: 7428019Abstract: A system and method for increasing space or time resolution of an image sequence by combination of a plurality input sources with different space-time resolutions such that the single output displays increased accuracy and clarity without the calculation of motion vectors. This system of enhancement may be used on any optical recording device, including but not limited to digital video, analog video, still pictures of any format and so forth. The present invention includes support for example for such features as single frame resolution increase, combination of a number of still pictures, the option to calibrate spatial or temporal enhancement or any combination thereof, increased video resolution by using high-resolution still cameras as enhancement additions and may optionally be implemented using a camera synchronization method.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2002Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Yeda Research And Development Co. Ltd.Inventors: Michal Irani, Yaron Caspi, Eli Shechtman
