  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20180137624
    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.
