  • Publication number: 20230259587
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230237088
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an object selection system that accurately detects and optionally automatically selects user-requested objects (e.g., query objects) in digital images. For example, the object selection system builds and utilizes an object selection pipeline to determine which object detection neural network to utilize to detect a query object based on analyzing the object class of a query object. In particular, the object selection system can identify both known object classes as well as objects corresponding to unknown object classes.

  • Publication number: 20230214600
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and non-transitory computer storage media for parsing a given input referring expression into a parse structure and generating a semantic computation graph to identify semantic relationships among and between objects. At a high level, when embodiments of the preset invention receive a referring expression, a parse tree is created and mapped into a hierarchical subject, predicate, object graph structure that labeled noun objects in the referring expression, the attributes of the labeled noun objects, and predicate relationships (e.g., verb actions or spatial propositions) between the labeled objects. Embodiments of the present invention then transform the subject, predicate, object graph structure into a semantic computation graph that may be recursively traversed and interpreted to determine how noun objects, their attributes and modifiers, and interrelationships are provided to downstream image editing, searching, or caption indexing tasks.

  • Patent number: 11681919
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an object selection system that automatically detects and selects objects in a digital image utilizing a large-scale object detector. For instance, in response to receiving a request to automatically select a query object with an unknown object class in a digital image, the object selection system can utilize a large-scale object detector to detect potential objects in the image, filter out one or more potential objects, and label the remaining potential objects in the image to detect the query object. In some implementations, the large-scale object detector utilizes a region proposal model, a concept mask model, and an auto tagging model to automatically detect objects in the digital image.

  • Publication number: 20230136913
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a class-agnostic object segmentation system that automatically detects, segments, and selects objects within digital images irrespective of object semantic classifications. For example, the object segmentation system utilizes a class-agnostic object segmentation neural network to segment each pixel in a digital image into an object mask. Further, in response to detecting a selection request of a target object, the object segmentation system utilizes a corresponding object mask to automatically select the target object within the digital image. In some implementations, the object segmentation system utilizes a class-agnostic object segmentation neural network to detect and automatically select a partial object in the digital image in response to a target object selection request.

  • Publication number: 20230128792
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generates object masks for digital objects portrayed in digital images utilizing a detection-masking neural network pipeline. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize detection heads of a neural network to detect digital objects portrayed within a digital image. In some cases, each detection head is associated with one or more digital object classes that are not associated with the other detection heads. Further, in some cases, the detection heads implement multi-scale synchronized batch normalization to normalize feature maps across various feature levels. The disclosed systems further utilize a masking head of the neural network to generate one or more object masks for the detected digital objects. In some cases, the disclosed systems utilize post-processing techniques to filter out low-quality masks.

  • Patent number: 11551384
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve flow-based color transfers from a source graphic to target graphic. For instance, a palette flow is computed that maps colors of a target color palette to colors of the source color palette (e.g., by minimizing an earth-mover distance with respect to the source and target color palettes). In some embodiments, such color palettes are extracted from vector graphics using path and shape data. To modify the target graphic, the target color from the target graphic is mapped, via the palette flow, to a modified target color using color information of the source color palette. A modification to the target graphic is performed (e.g., responsive to a preview function or recoloring command) by recoloring an object in the target color with the modified target color.

  • Publication number: 20220414142
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an object selection system that automatically detects and selects objects in a digital image based on natural language-based inputs. For instance, the object selection system can utilize natural language processing tools to detect objects and their corresponding relationships within natural language object selection queries. For example, the object selection system can determine alternative object terms for unrecognized objects in a natural language object selection query. As another example, the object selection system can determine multiple types of relationships between objects in a natural language object selection query and utilize different object relationship models to select the requested query object.

  • Publication number: 20220383037
    Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more implementations of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that extract multiple attributes from an object portrayed in a digital image utilizing a multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network. For example, the disclosed systems utilize a multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network that includes an embedding neural network, a localizer neural network, a multi-attention neural network, and a classifier neural network. In some cases, the disclosed systems train the multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network utilizing a multi-attribute, supervised-contrastive loss. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate negative attribute training labels for labeled digital images utilizing positive attribute labels that correspond to the labeled digital images.
