Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate utilizing a segmentation neural network, an object mask for each object of a plurality of objects of a digital image. The disclosed systems detect a first user interaction with an object in the digital image displayed via a graphical user interface. The disclosed systems surface, via the graphical user interface, the object mask for the object in response to the first user interaction. The disclosed systems perform an object-aware modification of the digital image in response to a second user interaction with the object mask for the object.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that implement depth-aware object move operations for digital image editing. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a first object depth for a first object portrayed within a digital image and a second object depth for a second object portrayed within the digital image. Additionally, the disclosed systems move the first object to create an overlap area between the first object and the second object within the digital image. Based on the first object depth and the second object depth, the disclosed systems modify the digital image to occlude the first object or the second object within the overlap area.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that implement perspective-aware object move operations for digital image editing. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a vanishing point associated with a digital image portraying an object. Additionally, the disclosed systems detect one or more user interactions for moving the object within the digital image. Based on moving the object with respect to the vanishing point, the disclosed systems perform a perspective-based resizing of the object within the digital image.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via multi-layered scene completion techniques facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a digital image portraying a first object and a second object against a background, where the first object occludes a portion of the second object. Additionally, the disclosed systems pre-process the digital image to generate a first content fill for the portion of the second object occluded by the first object and a second content fill for a portion of the background occluded by the second object. After pre-processing, the disclosed systems detect one or more user interactions to move or delete the first object from the digital image. The disclosed systems further modify the digital image by moving or deleting the first object and exposing the first content fill for the portion of the second object.

Abstract: Methods and systems for spinal radio frequency neurotomy. Systems include needles capable of applying RF energy to target volumes within a patient. Such target volumes may contain target medial branch nerves along vertebrae or rami proximate the sacrum. Such procedures may be used to ablate or cauterize a portion of the targeted nerve, thus blocking the ability of the nerve to transmit signals to the central nervous system. Disclosed needles may be operable to asymmetrically, relative to a central longitudinal axis of the needle, apply RF energy. Such asymmetry facilitates procedures where a tip of the needle is placed proximate to anatomical structures for location verification. Then RF energy may be applied in a selectable direction relative to the needle tip to ablate volumes that include the targeted medial branch nerves or rami, thus denervating facet joints or the sacroiliac joint, respectively, to relieve pain in a patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tissue ablation. Systems include needles with deployable filaments capable of producing asymmetrical offset lesions at target volumes, which may include a target nerve. Ablation of at least a portion of the target nerve may inhibit the ability of the nerve to transmit signals, such as pain signals, to the central nervous system. The offset lesion may facilitate procedures by directing energy towards the target nerve and away from collateral structures. Example anatomical structures include lumbar, thoracic, and cervical medial branch nerves and rami and the sacroiliac joint.

Abstract: The disclosed principles provide a platform providing subscribers the ability to send custom push notifications. The platform is application-based, using mobile applications for use on a mobile device. Subscribers are provided a subscriber-level application from the platform. That application could be customized for the subscriber, or the subscriber may have a given amount of customization in order to personalize their own application. Users of a subscriber's unique application download the application via the platform. The subscriber will have administrative access within that application, via user name and password, and can coordinate to whom push notifications may be sent. The subscriber can designate individual targets to receive those push notifications, or may create groups for receiving the push notifications. Users of that subscriber's application could be allowed to shop for the subscriber's products via their application, and can receive push notifications sent via the platform.
