Publication number: 20240135511Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For example, in one or more embodiments the disclosed systems utilize generative machine learning models to create modified digital images portraying human subjects. In particular, the disclosed systems generate modified digital images by performing infill modifications to complete a digital image or human inpainting for portions of a digital image that portrays a human. Moreover, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems perform reposing of subjects portrayed within a digital image to generate modified digital images. In addition, the disclosed systems in some embodiments perform facial expression transfer and facial expression animations to generate modified digital images or animations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Krishna Kumar Singh, Yijun Li, Jingwan Lu, Duygu Ceylan Aksit, Yangtuanfeng Wang, Jimei Yang, Tobias Hinz, Qing Liu, Jianming Zhang, Zhe Lin

Publication number: 20240127410Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for panoptically guiding digital image inpainting utilizing a panoptic inpainting neural network. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize a panoptic inpainting neural network to generate an inpainted digital image according to panoptic segmentation map that defines pixel regions corresponding to different panoptic labels. In some cases, the disclosed systems train a neural network utilizing a semantic discriminator that facilitates generation of digital images that are realistic while also conforming to a semantic segmentation. The disclosed systems generate and provide a panoptic inpainting interface to facilitate user interaction for inpainting digital images. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems iteratively update an inpainted digital image based on changes to a panoptic segmentation map.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Zhe Lin, Haitian Zheng, Elya Shechtman, Jianming Zhang, Jingwan Lu, Ning Xu, Qing Liu, Scott Cohen, Sohrab Amirghodsi

Patent number: 11958764Abstract: Processes are provided for the kinetically efficient reduction of selenate species to selenide species using chromous ions in acidic solution. This reduction may advantageously be carried out in the presence of sulphate species, with selective selenate reduction in preference to the reduction of sulfate. The reduced selenate may be removed from the chromous-treated solution, for example by precipitation of a copper-selenide solid. The chromic ions formed by reaction of chromous ions in the reduction of selenate may also be removed from solution, for example by addition of a base to form an insoluble chromic hydroxide solid. The chromic hydroxide may be recycled to regenerate chromous ions, for example by electrolysis. In this way, systems are provided for continuously removing dissolved selenium from wastewater streams.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Seabridge Gold Inc.Inventors: Maryam Mohammadi, Berend Wassink, Jianming Lu, David Dreisinger
