  • Patent number: 12254594
    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.

  • Patent number: 12254597
    Abstract: An item recommendation system receives a set of recommendable items and a request to select, from the set of recommendable items, a contrast group. The item recommendation system selects a contrast group from the set of recommendable items by applying a image modification model to the set of recommendable items. The image modification model includes an item selection model configured to determine an unbiased conversion rate for each item of the set of recommendable items and select a recommended item from the set of recommendable items having a greatest unbiased conversion rate. The image modification model includes a contrast group selection model configured to select, for the recommended item, a contrast group comprising the recommended item and one or more contrast items. The item recommendation system transmits the contrast group responsive to the request.

  • Publication number: 20240428482
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and composting pixels of a digital image that depict hair of an individual using generative neural networks. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive a modification to a face crop enclosing a face depicted within a digital image. In some cases, the disclosed systems determine, from the modification, modified hair pixels within the face crop of the digital image and unmodified hair pixels outside of the face crop of the digital image. The disclosed systems generate, for the unmodified hair pixels outside of the face crop, replacement hair pixels that resemble the modified hair pixels utilizing a generative neural network.

  • Patent number: 12014452
    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: 20240169499
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image processing are provided. Embodiments include identifying an image of a face that includes an artifact in a part of the face. A machine learning model generates an intermediate image based on the original image. The intermediate image depicts the part of the face in a closed position. Then the model generates a corrected image based on the intermediate image. The corrected image depicts the face with the part of the face in an open position and without the artifact.

  • Patent number: 11983628
    Abstract: Systems and methods dynamically adjust an available range for editing an attribute in an image. An image editing system computes a metric for an attribute in an input image as a function of a latent space representation of the input image and a filtering vector for editing the input image. The image editing system compares the metric to a threshold. If the metric exceeds the threshold, then the image editing system selects a first range for editing the attribute in the input image. If the metric does not exceed the threshold, a second range is selected. The image editing system causes display of a user interface for editing the input image comprising an interface element for editing the attribute within the selected range.

  • 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.
