  • Publication number: 20200082221
    Abstract: Systems and methods for domain adaptation are provided. The system aligns image level features between a source domain and a target domain based on an adversarial learning process while training a domain discriminator. The system selects, using the domain discriminator, unlabeled samples from the target domain that are far away from existing annotated samples from the target domain. The system selects, based on a prediction score of each of the unlabeled samples, samples with lower prediction scores. The system annotates the samples with the lower prediction scores.

  • Publication number: 20190354807
    Abstract: Systems and methods for domain adaptation for structured output via disentangled representations are provided. The system receives a ground truth of a source domain. The ground truth is used in a task loss function for a first convolutional neural network that predicts at least one output based on inputs from the source domain and a target domain. The system clusters the ground truth of the source domain into a predetermined number of clusters, and predicts, via a second convolutional neural network, a structure of label patches. The structure includes an assignment of each of the at least one output of the first convolutional neural network to the predetermined number of clusters. A cluster loss is computed for the predicted structure of label patches, and an adversarial loss function is applied to the predicted structure of label patches to align the source domain and the target domain on a structural level.

  • Patent number: 10311574
    Abstract: A digital medium environment includes an image processing application that performs object segmentation on an input image. An improved object segmentation method implemented by the image processing application comprises receiving an input image that includes an object region to be segmented by a segmentation process, processing the input image to provide a first segmentation that defines the object region, and processing the first segmentation to provide a second segmentation that provides pixel-wise label assignments for the object region. In some implementations, the image processing application performs improved sky segmentation on an input image containing a depiction of a sky.

  • Publication number: 20190158884
    Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed for identifying residual video data. This data describes data that is lost during a compression of original video data. For example, the original video data may be compressed and then decompressed, and this result may be compared to the original video data to determine the residual video data. This residual video data is transformed into a smaller format by means of encoding, binarizing, and compressing, and is sent to a destination. At the destination, the residual video data is transformed back into its original format and is used during the decompression of the compressed original video data to improve a quality of the decompressed original video data.

  • Publication number: 20180374199
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a sky editing system and related processes for sky editing. The sky editing system includes a composition detector to determine the composition of a target image. A sky search engine in the sky editing system is configured to find a reference image with similar composition with the target image. Subsequently, a sky editor replaces content of the sky in the target image with content of the sky in the reference image. As such, the sky editing system transforms the target image into a new image with a preferred sky background.

  • Publication number: 20180260668
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating harmonized images for input composite images. A neural network system can be trained, where the training includes training a neural network that generates harmonized images for input composite images. This training is performed based on a comparison of a training harmonized image and a reference image, where the reference image is modified to generate a training input composite image used to generate the training harmonized image. In addition, a mask of a region can be input to limit the area of the input image that is to be modified. Such a trained neural network system can be used to input a composite image and mask pair for which the trained system will output a harmonized image.
