Publication number: 20230129341Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generate preliminary object masks for objects in an image, surface the preliminary object masks as object mask previews, and on-demand converts preliminary object masks into refined object masks. Indeed, in one or more implementations, an object mask preview and on-demand generation system automatically detects objects in an image. For the detected objects, the object mask preview and on-demand generation system generates preliminary object masks for the detected objects of a first lower resolution. The object mask preview and on-demand generation system surfaces a given preliminary object mask in response to detecting a first input. The object mask preview and on-demand generation system also generates a refined object mask of a second higher resolution in response to detecting a second input.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Betty Leong, Hyunghwan Byun, Alan L Erickson, Chih-Yao Hsieh, Sarah Kong, Seyed Morteza Safdarnejad, Salil Tambe, Yilin Wang, Zijun Wei, Zhengyun Zhang

Publication number: 20230132180Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that upsample and refine segmentation masks. Indeed, in one or more implementations, a segmentation mask refinement and upsampling system upsamples a preliminary segmentation mask utilizing a patch-based refinement process to generate a patch-based refined segmentation mask. The segmentation mask refinement and upsampling system then fuses the patch-based refined segmentation mask with an upsampled version of the preliminary segmentation mask. By fusing the patch-based refined segmentation mask with the upsampled preliminary segmentation mask, the segmentation mask refinement and upsampling system maintains a global perspective and helps avoid artifacts due to the local patch-based refinement process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Chih-Yao Hsieh, Yilin Wang

Patent number: 11551338Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward intelligently mixing and matching faces and/or people to generate an enhanced image that reduces or minimize artifacts and other defects. For example, the disclosed systems can selectively apply different alignment models to determine a relative alignment between a references image and a target image having an improved instance of the person. Upon aligning the digital images, the disclosed systems can intelligently identify a replacement region based on a boundary that includes the target instance and the reference instance of the person without intersecting other objects or people in the image. Using the size and shape of the replacement region around the target instance and the reference instance, the systems replace the instance of the person in the reference image with the target instance. The alignment of the images and the intelligent selection of the replacement region minimizes inconsistencies and/or artifacts in the final image.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Seyed Morteza Safdarnejad, Chih-Yao Hsieh

Patent number: 11537518Abstract: Constraining memory use for overlapping virtual memory operations is described. The memory use is constrained to prevent memory from exceeding an operational threshold, e.g., in relation to operations for modifying content. These operations are implemented according to algorithms having a plurality of instructions. Before the instructions are performed in relation to the content, virtual memory is allocated to the content data, which is then loaded into the virtual memory and is also partitioned into data portions. In the context of the described techniques, at least one of the instructions affects multiple portions of the content data loaded in virtual memory. When this occurs, the instruction is carried out, in part, by transferring the multiple portions of content data between the virtual memory and a memory such that a number of portions of the content data in the memory is constrained to the memory that is reserved for the operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Chih-Yao Hsieh, Zhaowen Wang
