  • Patent number: 11328523
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image composite system that employs a generative adversarial network to generate realistic composite images. For example, in one or more embodiments, the image composite system trains a geometric prediction neural network using an adversarial discrimination neural network to learn warp parameters that provide correct geometric alignment of foreground objects with respect to a background image. Once trained, the determined warp parameters provide realistic geometric corrections to foreground objects such that the warped foreground objects appear to blend into background images naturally when composited together.

  • Patent number: 11314969
    Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods categorize text regions of an electronic document into document object types based on a combination of semantic information and appearance information from the electronic document. A page segmentation application executing on a computing device provides a textual feature representation and a visual feature representation to a neural network. The application identifies a correspondence between a location of the set of pixels in the electronic document and a location of a particular document object type in an output page segmentation. The application further outputs a classification of the set of pixels as being the particular document object type based on the identified correspondence.

  • Patent number: 10692265
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing manipulation of facial images using an artificial neural network. A facial rendering and generation network and method learns one or more compact, meaningful manifolds of facial appearance, by disentanglement of a facial image into intrinsic facial properties, and enables facial edits by traversing paths of such manifold(s). The facial rendering and generation network is able to handle a much wider range of manipulations including changes to, for example, viewpoint, lighting, expression, and even higher-level attributes like facial hair and age—aspects that cannot be represented using previous models.

  • Patent number: 10467760
    Abstract: This disclosure involves generating and outputting a segmentation model using 3D models having user-provided labels and scene graphs. For example, a system uses a neural network learned from the user-provided labels to transform feature vectors, which represent component shapes of the 3D models, into transformed feature vectors identifying points in a feature space. The system identifies component-shape groups from clusters of the points in the feature space. The system determines, from the scene graphs, parent-child relationships for the component-shape groups. The system generates a segmentation hierarchy with nodes corresponding to the component-shape groups and links corresponding to the parent-child relationships. The system trains a point classifier to assign feature points, which are sampled from an input 3D shape, to nodes of the segmentation hierarchy, and thereby segment the input 3D shape into component shapes.

  • Patent number: 10430978
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for generating modified digital images utilizing a neural network that includes a rendering layer. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods can train a neural network to decompose an input digital image into intrinsic physical properties (e.g., such as material, illumination, and shape). Moreover, the systems and methods can substitute one of the intrinsic physical properties for a target property (e.g., a modified material, illumination, or shape). The systems and methods can utilize a rendering layer trained to synthesize a digital image to generate a modified digital image based on the target property and the remaining (unsubstituted) intrinsic physical properties. Systems and methods can increase the accuracy of modified digital images by generating modified digital images that realistically reflect a confluence of intrinsic physical properties of an input digital image and target (i.e., modified) properties.
