  • Publication number: 20230206525
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes program code that is stored thereon. The program code is executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations including generating, using a model, a learned image representation of a target image. The operations further include generating, using a text embedding model, a text embedding of a text query. The text embedding and the learned image representation of the target image are in a same embedding space. Additionally, the operations include convolving the learned image representation of the target image with the text embedding of the text query. Moreover, the operations include generating an object-segmented image based on the convolving of the learned image representation of the target image with the text embedding.

  • Patent number: 11615567
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes program code that is stored thereon. The program code is executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations including generating, by a model that includes trainable components, a learned image representation of a target image. The operations further include generating, by a text embedding model, a text embedding of a text query. The text embedding and the learned image representation of the target image are in a same embedding space. Additionally, the operations include generating a class activation map of the target image by, at least, convolving the learned image representation of the target image with the text embedding of the text query. Moreover, the operations include generating an object-segmented image using the class activation map of the target image.

  • Patent number: 11574392
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image merging system that automatically and seamlessly detects and merges missing people for a set of digital images into a composite group photo. For instance, the image merging system utilizes a number of models and operations to automatically analyze multiple digital images to identify a missing person from a base image, segment the missing person from the second image, and generate a composite group photo by merging the segmented image of the missing person into the base image. In this manner, the image merging system automatically creates merged group photos that appear natural and realistic.

  • Publication number: 20220391633
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for accurately and efficiently generating groups of images portraying semantically similar objects for utilization in building machine learning models. In particular, the disclosed system utilizes metadata and spatial statistics to extract semantically similar objects from a repository of digital images. In some embodiments, the disclosed system generates color embeddings and content embeddings for the identified objects. The disclosed system can further group similar objects together within a query space by utilizing a clustering algorithm to create object clusters and then refining and combining the object clusters within the query space. In some embodiments, the disclosed system utilizes one or more of the object clusters to build a machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11138257
    Abstract: Object search techniques for digital images are described. In the techniques described herein, semantic features are extracted on a per-object basis form a digital image. This supports location of objects within digital images and is not limited to semantic features of an entirety of the digital image as involved in conventional image similarity search techniques. This may be combined with indications a location of the object globally with respect to the digital image through use of a global segmentation mask, use of a local segmentation mask to capture post and characteristics of the object itself, and so on.

  • Patent number: 10789569
    Abstract: Footprint data of an item that is representative of a boundary of the item and where that boundary is located is obtained using occlusion of a projected line. Line projectors are arranged at opposite sides of a conveyor belt and at an angle that is acute with respect to a plane of the conveyor belt and produce lines on the conveyor belt within a measurement area. As an item moves past the measurement area, the sides of the item occlude a portion of the projected lines. Cameras acquire a series of images as the object moves with respect to the measurement area. The images are processed to determine where the projected lines were occluded. An edge point is then determined representative of that location. One or more lines may be fitted to a plurality of edge points to determine the boundary of the item.
