  • Publication number: 20240143835
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating anonymized digital images utilizing a face anonymization neural network. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize a face anonymization neural network to extract or encode a face anonymization guide that encodes face attribute features, such as gender, ethnicity, age, and expression. In some cases, the disclosed systems utilize the face anonymization guide to inform the face anonymization neural network in generating synthetic face pixels for anonymizing a digital image while retaining attributes, such as gender, ethnicity, age, and expression. The disclosed systems learn parameters for a face anonymization neural network for preserving face attributes, accounting for multiple faces in digital images, and generating synthetic face pixels for faces in profile poses.

  • Patent number: 11887216
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for image processing. Embodiments of the present disclosure include an image processing apparatus configured to generate modified images (e.g., synthetic faces) by conditionally changing attributes or landmarks of an input image. A machine learning model of the image processing apparatus encodes the input image to obtain a joint conditional vector that represents attributes and landmarks of the input image in a vector space. The joint conditional vector is then modified, according to the techniques described herein, to form a latent vector used to generate a modified image. In some cases, the machine learning model is trained using a generative adversarial network (GAN) with a normalization technique, followed by joint training of a landmark embedding and attribute embedding (e.g., to reduce inference time).

  • Patent number: 11880766
    Abstract: An improved system architecture uses a pipeline including a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) including a generator neural network and a discriminator neural network to generate an image. An input image in a first domain and information about a target domain are obtained. The domains correspond to image styles. An initial latent space representation of the input image is produced by encoding the input image. An initial output image is generated by processing the initial latent space representation with the generator neural network. Using the discriminator neural network, a score is computed indicating whether the initial output image is in the target domain. A loss is computed based on the computed score. The loss is minimized to compute an updated latent space representation. The updated latent space representation is processed with the generator neural network to generate an output image in the target domain.

  • Patent number: 11875221
    Abstract: Systems and methods generate a filtering function for editing an image with reduced attribute correlation. An image editing system groups training data into bins according to a distribution of a target attribute. For each bin, the system samples a subset of the training data based on a pre-determined target distribution of a set of additional attributes in the training data. The system identifies a direction in the sampled training data corresponding to the distribution of the target attribute to generate a filtering vector for modifying the target attribute in an input image, obtains a latent space representation of an input image, applies the filtering vector to the latent space representation of the input image to generate a filtered latent space representation of the input image, and provides the filtered latent space representation as input to a neural network to generate an output image with a modification to the target attribute.

  • Publication number: 20230386114
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for detecting user interactions to edit a digital image from a client device and modify the digital image for the client device by using a web-based intermediary that modifies a latent vector of the digital image and an image modification neural network to generate a modified digital image from the modified latent vector. In response to user interaction to modify a digital image, for instance, the disclosed systems modify a latent vector extracted from the digital image to reflect the requested modification. The disclosed systems further use a latent vector stream renderer (as an intermediary device) to generate an image delta that indicates a difference between the digital image and the modified digital image. The disclosed systems then provide the image delta as part of a digital stream to a client device to quickly render the modified digital image.

  • Publication number: 20230360299
    Abstract: Face anonymization techniques are described that overcome conventional challenges to generate an anonymized face. In one example, a digital object editing system is configured to generate an anonymized face based on a target face and a reference face. As part of this, the digital object editing system employs an encoder as part of machine learning to extract a target encoding of the target face image and a reference encoding of the reference face. The digital object editing system then generates a mixed encoding from the target and reference encodings. The mixed encoding is employed by a machine-learning model of the digital object editing system to generate a mixed face. An object replacement module is used by the digital object editing system to replace the target face in the target digital image with the mixed face.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for intelligently enhancing details in edited images. The disclosed system iteratively updates residual detail latent code for segments in edited images where detail has been lost through the editing process. More particularly, the disclosed system enhances an edited segment in an edited image based on details in a detailed segment of an image. Additionally, the disclosed system may utilize a detail neural network encoder to project the detailed segment and a corresponding segment of the edited image into a residual detail latent code. In some embodiments, the disclosed system generates a refined edited image based on the residual detail latent code and a latent vector of the edited image.
