  • Publication number: 20220122306
    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: 20220121931
    Abstract: Systems and methods train and apply a specialized encoder neural network for fast and accurate projection into the latent space of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The specialized encoder neural network includes an input layer, a feature extraction layer, and a bottleneck layer positioned after the feature extraction layer. The projection process includes providing an input image to the encoder and producing, by the encoder, a latent space representation of the input image. Producing the latent space representation includes extracting a feature vector from the feature extraction layer, providing the feature vector to the bottleneck layer as input, and producing the latent space representation as output. The latent space representation produced by the encoder is provided as input to the GAN, which generates an output image based upon the latent space representation. The encoder is trained using specialized loss functions including a segmentation loss and a mean latent loss.

  • Patent number: 11261732
    Abstract: A mining machine applicable to fluidized mining and a mining method therefor are provided herein. A microwave transmitting mechanism, a liquid jet drill rod and a cutter-head are arranged at the head of a first excavation device of the mining machine. The ore body in front is first processed by the microwave transmitting mechanism and the liquid jet drill rod to reduce the strength of the ore body, which facilitates subsequent mining of the ore body, lowers the hardness requirements of the cutter-head, and reduces the wearing of the cutter-head. With this mining machine mining the ore body, the mined ores can be directly converted, under the ground, into resources in the easily transportable form, without transporting the ore to the surface for conversion, which saves the cost of transporting the ore to the surface.
