  • Publication number: 20250054116
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that generate inpainted digital images utilizing a cascaded modulation inpainting neural network. For example, the disclosed systems utilize a cascaded modulation inpainting neural network that includes cascaded modulation decoder layers. For example, in one or more decoder layers, the disclosed systems start with global code modulation that captures the global-range image structures followed by an additional modulation that refines the global predictions. Accordingly, in one or more implementations, the image inpainting system provides a mechanism to correct distorted local details. Furthermore, in one or more implementations, the image inpainting system leverages fast Fourier convolutions block within different resolution layers of the encoder architecture to expand the receptive field of the encoder and to allow the network encoder to better capture global structure.

  • Patent number: 12222966
    Abstract: A system analyzes user activity data generated by computing devices associated with a plurality of users in a messaging system to extract a random user from the plurality of users. Based on determining that user activity data associated with the random user comprises a consistent pattern, a cluster associated with the consistent pattern is generated and the random user is added to the cluster. Then user activity data for the other users in the plurality of users is analyzed to determine whether user activity data for each of the other users comprises a similar pattern as the generated cluster. Each user that is determined to be associated with user activity data comprising a similar pattern as the consistent pattern of the generated cluster is added to the generated cluster and user activity data associated with each user added to the generated cluster is removed from the user activity data.

  • Patent number: 12204610
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for training a generative inpainting neural network to accurately generate inpainted digital images via object-aware training and/or masked regularization. For example, the disclosed systems utilize an object-aware training technique to learn parameters for a generative inpainting neural network based on masking individual object instances depicted within sample digital images of a training dataset. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems also (or alternatively) utilize a masked regularization technique as part of training to prevent overfitting by penalizing a discriminator neural network utilizing a regularization term that is based on an object mask. In certain cases, the disclosed systems further generate an inpainted digital image utilizing a trained generative inpainting model with parameters learned via the object-aware training and/or the masked regularization.

  • Publication number: 20240169500
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image processing are described. Embodiments of the present disclosure receive an image comprising a first region that includes content and a second region to be inpainted. Noise is then added to the image to obtain a noisy image, and a plurality of intermediate output images are generated based on the noisy image using a diffusion model trained using a perceptual loss. The intermediate output images predict a final output image based on a corresponding intermediate noise level of the diffusion model. The diffusion model then generates the final output image based on the intermediate output image. The final output image includes inpainted content in the second region that is consistent with the content in the first region.
