  • Publication number: 20230267696
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11538210
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11386685
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for identifying structural elements of a document. One Methodology includes generating a first channel of rasterized content by rasterizing a full page of the document and generating one or more additional channels of rasterized content from the page of the document by rasterizing one or more corresponding content types from the page of the document. Each of the one or more additional channels includes a specific type of content that is different from each of the other one or more additional channels. The methodology further includes inputting the first channel of rasterized content and the one or more additional channels of rasterized content into a machine learning (ML) model. The methodology continues with determining location and classification for each of a plurality of structural elements on the page of the document using the ML model.

  • Patent number: 10957103
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10929592
    Abstract: A design layout recommendation system is disclosed that evaluates layouts of design elements generated based on aspect ratios and relative areas. In an embodiment, the system enumerates possible arrangements of the design elements into columns or rows based on a layout preference. The system can then construct layouts of the design elements for each enumerated arrangement of the design elements based on relative areas of the design elements. The layouts of the design elements are in column-oriented reading order or row-oriented reading order based on the layout preference. The system can then recommend at least one layout of the design elements based on selection criteria.

  • Patent number: 10762674
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10552730
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10403015
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10152809
    Abstract: A method and systems of applying a contour gradient to a two-dimensional path are provided. A three-dimensional polygonal shell may be constructed from the two-dimensional path. Then the three-dimensional polygonal shell may be projected into two dimensions, resulting in a two-dimensional projected model, while saving values for a third dimension for each point in the two-dimensional projected model. Then a range of all values for the third dimension in the two-dimensional projected model is determined from the saved values. The range can then be mapped to a visual attribute. The two-dimensional projected model may be displayed using the mapped visual attribute.
