  • Patent number: 12190467
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for modifying parametric continuity between portions of a digital image in piecewise parametric patch deformations. For example, the disclosed system determine parametric patches in a parametric quilt corresponding to a digital image in response to a request to deform the digital image. The disclosed system divides the digital image into a plurality of separate portions along edges of the parametric patches, each parametric patch comprising a separate set of control points. The disclosed system generates sets of interactive handles for each anchor control point in the parametric patch corresponding to metadata flags that determine parametric continuities between portions of the digital image. Additionally, in response to a user input, the disclosed system modifies the parametric continuity at a portion of the digital image corresponding to an anchor control point by modifying a metadata flag for the control point.
