  • Publication number: 20250061582
    Abstract: A method includes uploading an image and a final edge map to a computing device, the image being a scene having at least one wall, at least one shadow, and at least one highlight, processing the image using a Segment-Anything model forming a processed image, performing wall segmentation on the processed image using the segment-anything model, performing segmentations of the processed image to generate a coarse wall mask, establishing a dynamic threshold of high confidence pixels to exclude small wall contours coordinates, performing a semi-random seed point generation, running the processed image through a second pass of the segment-anything model to remove additional segments below predetermined acceptable thresholds for noise before establishing a final predicted wall, generating the final predicted wall including a colorized image by applying color to the segmented wall to paint the at least one wall, and displaying the colorized image on a display.
