Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for determining image handle locations. An image is provided to a neural network as input, and the neural network translates the input image to an output image that includes clusters of pixels against a background that have intensities greater than an intensity of the background and that indicate candidate handle locations. Intensities of clusters of pixels in an output image are compared to a threshold intensity level to determine a set of the clusters of pixels satisfying an intensity constraint. The threshold intensity level can be user-selectable, so that a user can control a density of handles. A handle location for each cluster of the set of clusters is determined from a centroid of each cluster. Handle locations include a coordinate for the handle location and an attribute classifying a degree of freedom for a handle at the handle location.

Abstract: A cloud computing architecture for managing data privacy includes multiple cloud cores for the segregation of data sets. The data sets may be segregated by, for example, client or line of business. Identified and de-identified data is segregated and provided different access authorizations through a corresponding compute cluster. Each core may be managed through a separate cloud account. Cores corresponding to data collected in different regions are physically hosted in the corresponding regions, such that the architecture cloud cores are at known physical locations rather than anonymously hosted. Likewise, applications specific to a region and used for processing of data in that region are physically hosted in that region in conjunction with the corresponding data.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for removing an anchor point from a Bezier spline while preserving the shape of the Bezier spline. For example, the disclosed systems can replace adjacent input segments of an initial Bezier spline that are connected at an anchor point with a new contiguous segment that does not include an anchor point and that spans the portion of the spline covered by the adjacent segments. The disclosed systems can utilize an objective function to determine tangent vectors that indicate locations of control points for generating the new segment to replace the adjacent segments. In addition, the disclosed systems can generate a modified Bezier spline that includes the new segment in place of the adjacent segments of the initial Bezier spline.
