Abstract: A media application receives user input that indicates one or more objects to be erased from a media item. The media application translates the user input to a bounding box. The media application provides a crop of the media item based on the bounding box to a segmentation machine-learning model. The segmentation machine-learning model outputs a segmentation mask for one or more segmented objects in the crop of the media item and a corresponding segmentation score that indicates a quality of the segmentation mask.

Abstract: A media application generates training data that includes a first set of media items and a second set of media items, where the first set of media items correspond to the second set of media items and include distracting objects that are manually segmented. The media application trains a segmentation machine-learning model based on the training data to receive a media item with one or more distracting objects and to output a segmentation mask for one or more segmented objects that correspond to the one or more distracting objects.

Abstract: A device automatically segments an image into different regions and automatically adjusts perceived exposure-levels or other characteristics associated with each of the different regions, to produce pictures that exceed expectations for the type of optics and camera equipment being used and in some cases, the pictures even resemble other high-quality photography created using professional equipment and photo editing software. A machine-learned model is trained to automatically segment an image into distinct regions. The model outputs one or more masks that define the distinct regions. The mask(s) are refined using a guided filter or other technique to ensure that edges of the mask(s) conform to edges of objects depicted in the image. By applying the mask(s) to the image, the device can individually adjust respective characteristics of each of the different regions to produce a higher-quality picture of a scene.
