Abstract: Systems and method directed to generating a stylized image are disclosed. In particular, the method includes, in a first data path, (a) applying first stylization to an input image and (b) applying enlargement to the stylized image from (a). The method also includes, in a second data path, (c) applying segmentation to the input image to identify a face region of the input image and generate a mask image, and (d) applying second stylization to an entirety of the input image and inpainting to the identified face region of the stylized image. Machine-assisted blending is performed based on (1) the stylized image after the enlargement from the first data path, (2) the inpainted image from the second data path, and (3) the mask image, in order to obtain a final stylized image.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for authentication for logical overlay network traffic are described. In one example, a first computer system may detect an inner packet and generate authentication information associated with the inner packet based on control information from a management entity. The authentication information may indicate that the inner packet originates from a trusted zone. The first computer system may further generate an encapsulated packet by encapsulating the inner packet with an outer header that specifies the authentication information, and send the encapsulated packet towards the second virtualized computing instance to cause a second computer system to verify that the inner packet originates from the trusted zone based on the authentication information.
