  • Patent number: 11468298
    Abstract: Described techniques for multi-label classification, in which sequential data includes characters that have two or more aspects that require classification, are capable of providing separate classifications for different categories of components. Using an appropriately-trained neural network, the described techniques perform aligning and otherwise combining two or more classifications (e.g., categories, or types of labels) to obtain multi-label characters.

  • Patent number: 11468110
    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.

  • Patent number: 11461638
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to generating figure captions for electronic figures, generating a training dataset to train a set of neural networks for generating figure captions, and training a set of neural networks employable to generate figure captions. A set of neural networks is trained with a training dataset having electronic figures and corresponding captions. Sequence-level training with reinforced learning techniques are employed to train the set of neural networks configured in an encoder-decoder with attention configuration. Provided with an electronic figure, the set of neural networks can encode the electronic figure based on various aspects detected from the electronic figure, resulting in the generation of associated label map(s), feature map(s), and relation map(s).

  • Patent number: 11462040
    Abstract: A distractor detector includes a heatmap network and a distractor classifier. The heatmap network operates on an input image to generate a heatmap for a main subject, a heatmap for a distractor, and optionally a heatmap for the background. Each object is cropped within the input image to generate a corresponding cropped image. Regions within the heatmaps that correspond to the objects are identified, and each of the regions is cropped within each of the heatmaps to generate cropped heatmaps. The distractor classifier then operates on the cropped images and the cropped heatmaps to classify each of the objects as being either a main subject or a distractor.

  • Publication number: 20220237799
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multi-model object segmentation system that provides a multi-model object segmentation framework for automatically segmenting objects in digital images. In one or more implementations, the multi-model object segmentation system utilizes different types of object segmentation models to determine a comprehensive set of object masks for a digital image. In various implementations, the multi-model object segmentation system further improves and refines object masks in the set of object masks utilizing specialized object segmentation models, which results in more improved accuracy and precision with respect to object selection within the digital image. Further, in some implementations, the multi-model object segmentation system generates object masks for portions of a digital image otherwise not captured by various object segmentation models.

  • Publication number: 20220230321
    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.

  • Patent number: 11379987
    Abstract: A temporal object segmentation system determines a location of an object depicted in a video. In some cases, the temporal object segmentation system determines the object's location in a particular frame of the video based on information indicating a previous location of the object in a previous video frame. For example, an encoder neural network in the temporal object segmentation system extracts features describing image attributes of a video frame. A convolutional long-short term memory neural network determines the location of the object in the frame, based on the extracted image attributes and information indicating a previous location in a previous frame. A decoder neural network generates an image mask indicating the object's location in the frame. In some cases, a video editing system receives multiple generated masks for a video, and modifies one or more video frames based on the locations indicated by the masks.

  • Publication number: 20210319255
    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: 20210272331
    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.
