Abstract: Certain aspects and features of this disclosure relate to providing a vector graphics entity component system that supports collaborative editing in real time or near real time. Graphical constructs are efficiently described by integer-based identifiers, and graphical constructs of the same type are stored in a definitional component. Each client maintains both a pending state representation and a synchronized state representation of the graphical design to independently track the state of the representation at a live editing server. The use of integer-based identifiers for graphical constructs provides an efficient change representation that can be communicated with minimal network traffic. All copies of the graphical design represented among clients reach a consistent state quickly even when multiple users are making changes to the same vector path, eliminating the need to track changes manually or to move large files.

Abstract: Systems and methods seamlessly blend edited and unedited regions of an image. A computing system crops an input image around a region to be edited. The system applies an affine transformation to rotate the cropped input image. The system provides the rotated cropped input image as input to a machine learning model to generate a latent space representation of the rotated cropped input image. The system edits the latent space representation and provides the edited latent space representation to a generator neural network to generate a generated edited image. The system applies an inverse affine transformation to rotate the generated edited image and aligns an identified segment of the rotated generated edited image with an identified corresponding segment of the input image to produce an aligned rotated generated edited image. The system blends the aligned rotated generated edited image with the input image to generate an edited output image.

The editing handle can be displayed in association with one of the salient geometric features of the feature set.

Abstract: Techniques for incorporating a black-box function into a neural network are described. For example, an image editing function may be the black-box function and may be wrapped into a layer of the neural network. A set of parameters and a source image are provided to the black-box function, and the output image that represents the source image with the set of parameters applied to the source image is output from the black-box function. To address the issue that the black-box function may not be differentiable, a loss optimization may calculate the gradients of the function using, for example, a finite differences calculation, and the gradients are used to train the neural network to ensure the output image is representative of an expected ground truth image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for improved patch validity testing for patch-based synthesis applications using similarity transforms. The improved patch validity tests are used to validate (or invalidate) candidate patches as valid patches falling within a sampling region of a source image. The improved patch validity tests include a hole dilation test for patch validity, a no-dilation test for patch invalidity, and a comprehensive pixel test for patch invalidity. A fringe test for range invalidity can be used to identify pixels with an invalid range and invalidate corresponding candidate patches. The fringe test for range invalidity can be performed as a precursor to any or all of the improved patch validity tests. In this manner, validated candidate patches are used to automatically reconstruct a target image.
