Abstract: The present disclosure relates to training and utilizing an image exposure transformation network to generate a long-exposure image from a single short-exposure image (e.g., still image). In various embodiments, the image exposure transformation network is trained using adversarial learning, long-exposure ground truth images, and a multi-term loss function. In some embodiments, the image exposure transformation network includes an optical flow prediction network and/or an appearance guided attention network. Trained embodiments of the image exposure transformation network generate realistic long-exposure images from single short-exposure images without additional information.

Abstract: Font replacement based on visual similarity is described. In one or more embodiments, a font descriptor includes multiple font features derived from a visual appearance of a font by a font visual similarity model. The font visual similarity model can be trained using a machine learning system that recognizes similarity between visual appearances of two different fonts. A source computing device embeds a font descriptor in a document, which is transmitted to a destination computing device. The destination compares the embedded font descriptor to font descriptors corresponding to local fonts. Based on distances between the embedded and the local font descriptors, at least one matching font descriptor is determined. The local font corresponding to the matching font descriptor is deemed similar to the original font. The destination computing device controls presentations of the document using the similar local font. Computation of font descriptors can be outsourced to a remote location.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for identification of fonts include receiving a selection of an area of an image including text, where the selection is received from within an application. The selected area of the image is input to a font matching module within the application. The font matching module identifies one or more fonts similar to the text in the selected area using a convolutional neural network. The one or more fonts similar to the text are displayed within the application and the selection and use of the one or more fonts is enabled within the application.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tag-based font recognition system that utilizes a multi-learning framework to develop and improve tag-based font recognition using deep learning neural networks. In particular, the tag-based font recognition system jointly trains a font tag recognition neural network with an implicit font classification attention model to generate font tag probability vectors that are enhanced by implicit font classification information. Indeed, the font recognition system weights the hidden layers of the font tag recognition neural network with implicit font information to improve the accuracy and predictability of the font tag recognition neural network, which results in improved retrieval of fonts in response to a font tag query. Accordingly, using the enhanced tag probability vectors, the tag-based font recognition system can accurately identify and recommend one or more fonts in response to a font tag query.

Abstract: A style of a digital image is transferred to another digital image of arbitrary resolution. A high-resolution (HR) content image is segmented into several low-resolution (LR) patches. The resolution of a style image is matched to have the same resolution as the LR content image patches. Style transfer is then performed on a patch-by-patch basis using, for example, a pair of feature transforms—whitening and coloring. The patch-by-patch style transfer process is then repeated at several increasing resolutions, or scale levels, of both the content and style images. The results of the style transfer at each scale level are incorporated into successive scale levels up to and including the original HR scale. As a result, style transfer can be performed with images having arbitrary resolutions to produce visually pleasing results with good spatial consistency.

Abstract: In implementations of transferring image style to content of a digital image, an image editing system includes an encoder that extracts features from a content image and features from a style image. A whitening and color transform generates coarse features from the content and style features extracted by the encoder for one pass of encoding and decoding. Hence, the processing delay and memory requirements are low. A feature transfer module iteratively transfers style features to the coarse feature map and generates a fine feature map. The image editing system fuses the fine features with the coarse features, and a decoder generates an output image with content of the content image in a style of the style image from the fused features. Accordingly, the image editing system efficiently transfers an image style to image content in real-time, without undesirable artifacts in the output image.

Abstract: Font recognition and similarity determination techniques and systems are described. In a first example, localization techniques are described to train a model using machine learning (e.g., a convolutional neural network) using training images. The model is then used to localize text in a subsequently received image, and may do so automatically and without user intervention, e.g., without specifying any of the edges of a bounding box. In a second example, a deep neural network is directly learned as an embedding function of a model that is usable to determine font similarity. In a third example, techniques are described that leverage attributes described in metadata associated with fonts as part of font recognition and similarity determinations.

Abstract: In implementations of recognizing text in images, text recognition systems are trained using noisy images that have nuisance factors applied, and corresponding clean images (e.g., without nuisance factors). Clean images serve as supervision at both feature and pixel levels, so that text recognition systems are trained to be feature invariant (e.g., by requiring features extracted from a noisy image to match features extracted from a clean image), and feature complete (e.g., by requiring that features extracted from a noisy image be sufficient to generate a clean image). Accordingly, text recognition systems generalize to text not included in training images, and are robust to nuisance factors. Furthermore, since clean images are provided as supervision at feature and pixel levels, training requires fewer training images than text recognition systems that are not trained with a supervisory clean image, thus saving time and resources.

Abstract: High resolution style transfer techniques and systems are described that overcome the challenges of transferring high resolution style features from one image to another image, and of the limited availability of training data to perform high resolution style transfer. In an example, a neural network is trained using high resolution style features which are extracted from a style image and are used in conjunction with an input image to apply the style features to the input image to generate a version of the input image transformed using the high resolution style features.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for ranking images against queries. A visual modality ranking of visual features of a digital image against a query is generated. A language modality ranking of text features of text associated with the digital image against the query is also generated. A multi-modal neural network determines importance weightings of the language modality ranking and the visual modality ranking against the query. The visual modality ranking and the language modality ranking are combined into a multi-modal ranking of the digital image against the query based on the importance weightings. The digital image is provided as a search result of the query based on the multi-modal ranking.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the synthesis of a full set of slotted content, based upon only partial observations of the slotted content. With respect to a font, the slots may comprise particular letters or symbols or glyphs in an alphabet. Based upon partial observations of a subset of glyphs from a font, a full set of the glyphs corresponding to the font may be synthesized and may further be ornamented.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed at providing a font similarity preview for non-resident fonts. In one embodiment, a font is selected on a computing device. In response to the selection of the font, a pre-computed font list is checked to determine what fonts are similar to the selected font. In response to a determination that similar fonts are not local to the computing device, a non-resident font list is sent to a font vendor. The font vendor sends back previews of the non-resident fonts based on entitlement information of a user. Further, a full non-resident font can be synced to the computing device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a font recognition system that employs a multi-task learning framework and adversarial training to improve font classification and remove negative side effects caused by intra-class variances of glyph content. For example, in one or more embodiments, the font recognition system adversarial trains a font recognition neural network by minimizing font classification loss while at the same time maximizing glyph classification loss. By employing an adversarially trained font classification neural network, the font recognition system can improve overall font recognition by removing the negative side effects from diverse glyph content.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for converting a low resolution image to a high resolution image include receiving a low resolution image having one or more noise artifacts at a neural network. A noise reduction level is received at the neural network. The neural network determines a network parameter based on the noise reduction level. The neural network converts the low resolution image to a high resolution image and removes one or more of the noise artifacts from the low resolution image during the converting by the using the network parameter. The neural network outputs the high resolution image.
