Patent number: 11922544Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that utilize an optimization model for generating vector patterns with complex vector structures. For example, the disclosed systems iteratively optimize the similarity between local input and output neighborhoods that account for clusters. Specifically, based on an input exemplar vector image, the disclosed systems generate a sample input cluster representation for more robust iterative sample optimization and pattern reconstruction. To illustrate, the disclosed systems optimize output cluster configurations based on input clusters such that the output clusters minimize a shape energy and a link energy (e.g., to better preserve shape and structure details from the original vector pattern in the input exemplar vector image). From the output clusters, the disclosed systems can reconstruct additional vector elements to create a new vector image with a synthetic vector pattern.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Peihan Tu, Li-Yi Wei
