  • Patent number: 11263791
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for generation of an interactive color workspace, the method including: generating a workspace; receiving successive inputs from a user to create two or more controllable color swatches, the controllable color swatches including an associated color; generating the controllable color swatches on the workspace; and upon receiving a command from a user to select and associate at least two of the controllable color swatches, generating a gradient of colors with the colors of the selected controllable color swatches as endpoints to the gradient.

  • Patent number: 11176715
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for color representation generation. In an aspect, the method includes: receiving three base colors; receiving a patchwork parameter; and generating a color representation having each of the three base colors at a vertex of a triangular face, the triangular face having a color distribution therein, the color distribution discretized into discrete portions, the amount of discretization based on the patchwork parameter, each discrete portion having an interpolated color determined to be a combination of the base colors at respective coordinates of such discrete portion. In further aspects, one or more color representations are generated based on an input image and can be used to modify colors of a reconstructed image.

  • Patent number: 11087503
    Abstract: An interactive palette interface includes a color picker for digital paint applications. A user can create, modify and select colors for creating digital artwork using the interactive palette interface. The interactive palette interface includes a mixing dish in which colors can be added, removed and rearranged to blend together to create gradients and gamuts. The mixing dish is a digital simulation of a physical palette on which an artist adds and mixes various colors of paint before applying the paint to the artwork. Color blobs, which are logical groups of pixels in the mixing dish, can be spatially rearranged and scaled by a user to create and explore different combinations of colors. The color, position and size of each blob influences the color of other pixels in the mixing dish. Edits to the mixing dish are non-destructive, and an infinite history of color combinations is preserved.

  • Publication number: 20200302250
    Abstract: A generative model can be used for generation of spatial layouts and graphs. Such a model can progressively grow these layouts and graphs based on local statistics, where nodes can represent spatial control points of the layout, and edges can represent segments or paths between nodes, such as may correspond to road segments. A generative model can utilize an encoder-decoder architecture where the encoder is a recurrent neural network (RNN) that encodes local incoming paths into a node and the decoder is another RNN that generates outgoing nodes and edges connecting an existing node to the newly generated nodes. Generation is done iteratively, and can finish once all nodes are visited or another end condition is satisfied. Such a model can generate layouts by additionally conditioning on a set of attributes, giving control to a user in generating the layout.

  • Patent number: 9324323
    Abstract: Speech recognition techniques may include: receiving audio; identifying one or more topics associated with audio; identifying language models in a topic space that correspond to the one or more topics, where the language models are identified based on proximity of a representation of the audio to representations of other audio in the topic space; using the language models to generate recognition candidates for the audio, where the recognition candidates have scores associated therewith that are indicative of a likelihood of a recognition candidate matching the audio; and selecting a recognition candidate for the audio based on the scores.
