  • Patent number: 11734805
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize context-aware sensors and multi-dimensional gesture inputs across a digital image to generate enhanced digital images. In particular, the disclosed systems can provide a dynamic sensor over a digital image within a digital enhancement user interface (e.g., a user interface without visual elements for modifying parameter values). In response to selection of a sensor location, the disclosed systems can determine one or more digital image features at the sensor location. Based on these features, the disclosed systems can select and map parameters to movement directions. Moreover, the disclosed systems can identify a user input gesture comprising movements in one or more directions across the digital image. Based on the movements and the one or more features at the sensor location, the disclosed systems can modify parameter values and generate an enhanced digital image.
