Publication number: 20230267696Abstract: Techniques for responsive video canvas generation are described to impart three-dimensional effects based on scene geometry to two-dimensional digital objects in a two-dimensional design environment. A responsive video canvas, for instance, is generated from input data including a digital video and scene data. The scene data describes a three-dimensional representation of an environment and includes a plurality of planes. A visual transform is generated and associated with each plane to enable digital objects to interact with the underlying scene geometry. In the responsive video canvas, an edit positioning a two-dimensional digital object with respect to a particular plane of the responsive video canvas is received. A visual transform associated with the particular plane is applied to the digital object and is operable to align the digital object to the depth and orientation of the particular plane. Accordingly, the digital object includes visual features based on the three-dimensional representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2022Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Cuong D.

Patent number: 11538210Abstract: In aspects of text importance spatial layout, a computing device implements a processing device to receive a text importance vector that includes designations of visual properties for constituent words of a text phrase. Spatial layouts of the text phrase are determined, with each spatial layout being a different displayable representation of the constituent words arranged based on the designations of the visual properties in the text importance vector for each of the constituent words. Feature vectors are generated, each feature vector represents a spatial layout of the text phrase and includes measurement properties of each of the constituent words in the respective spatial layout. The spatial layouts are ranked based on a metric that indicates a degree of similarity of the measurement properties of each of the constituent words in a respective spatial layout matching to the visual properties for the constituent words as designated in the text importance vector.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Cheryl Lao, William F.

Patent number: 10957103Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for performing dynamic mapping between a virtual environment and a real-world space. During dynamic mapping, a current virtual scene of the virtual environment that is within view of a user is prioritized over areas of the virtual environment that are out of view. The dynamic mapping between the virtual environment and the real-world space can be utilized to render a virtual scene for user in real-time. As a user interacts and/or moves within the virtual environment, dynamic mapping can be performed in real-time to capture any dynamic changes to the real-world space and/or the virtual environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Qi Sun, Paul John Asente, Li-Yi Wei, Jingwan Lu

Patent number: 10762674Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to beautifying freeform input paths in accordance with paths existing in the drawing (i.e., resolved paths). In some embodiments of the present invention, freeform input paths of a curved format can be modified or replaced to more precisely illustrate a path desired by a user. As such, a user can provide a freeform input path that resembles a path of interest by the user, but is not as precise as desired. Based on existing paths in the electronic drawing, a path suggestion(s) can be generated to rectify, modify, or replace the input path with a more precise path. In some cases, a user can then select a desired path suggestion, and the selected path then replaces the initially provided freeform input path.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Paul John Asente, Stephen Schiller, Jakub Fiser

Patent number: 10552730Abstract: An intuitive object-generation experience is provided by employing an autoencoder neural network to reduce the dimensionality of a procedural model. A set of sample objects are generated using the procedural model. In embodiments, the sample objects may be selected according to visual features such that the sample objects are uniformly distributed in visual appearance. Both procedural model parameters and visual features from the sample objects are used to train an autoencoder neural network, which maps a small number of new parameters to the larger number of procedural model parameters of the original procedural model. A user interface may be provided that allows users to generate new objects by adjusting the new parameters of the trained autoencoder neural network, which outputs procedural model parameters. The output procedural model parameters may be provided to the procedural model to generate the new objects.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Mehmet Ersin Yumer, Radomir Mech, Paul John Asente, Gavin Stuart Peter Miller

Patent number: 10403015Abstract: A procedural model enables a user to configure a global space organization function for the generation of decorative ornaments. The user provides data to seed the generation of the ornaments, as well as localized interactive edits to the generated ornaments. The procedural model iteratively places decorative elements at a subset of locations within an ornament area (or domain) based on generalized placement functions employed by the global space organization function. As such, the user is enabled to interactively generate and edit decorative ornaments via configuring the global space organization function and employing editing tools. Such functionality significantly decreases the effort typically required to generate ornate ornaments, while retaining control of the aesthetic organization and structure of the ornament. The generalized placement functions and heuristics of the global space organization function enable such control.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Paul John Asente, Jingwan Lu, Lena Edith Elfriede Gieseke
