  • Patent number: 12347116
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that utilize a progressive refinement network to refine alpha mattes generated utilizing a mask-guided matting neural network. In particular, the disclosed systems can use the matting neural network to process a digital image and a coarse guidance mask to generate alpha mattes at discrete neural network layers. In turn, the disclosed systems can use the progressive refinement network to combine alpha mattes and refine areas of uncertainty. For example, the progressive refinement network can combine a core alpha matte corresponding to more certain core regions of a first alpha matte and a boundary alpha matte corresponding to uncertain boundary regions of a second, higher resolution alpha matte. Based on the combination of the core alpha matte and the boundary alpha matte, the disclosed systems can generate a final alpha matte for use in image matting processes.

  • Publication number: 20250078229
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments are directed to deriving an albedo output image from an input image based on deriving an inverse shading map. For example, an input image can be a photograph of a human face (i.e., the geometric features) with RGB values representing the color values of the face as well as pixels representing shadows (i.e., the shadow features) underneath the chin of the human face. The inverse shading map may be a black and white pixel value image that contains pixels representing the same human face without the RGB values and the shadows underneath the chin. The inverse shading map thus relies on the geometric space, rather than RGB space. Geometric space, for example, allows embodiments to capture the geometric features of a face, as opposed to those geometric features' RGB or shadow details.
