    Abstract: Image modification using detected symmetry is described. In example implementations, an image modification module detects multiple local symmetries in an original image by discovering repeated correspondences that are each related by a transformation. The transformation can include a translation, a rotation, a reflection, a scaling, or a combination thereof. Each repeated correspondence includes three patches that are similar to one another and are respectively defined by three pixels of the original image. The image modification module generates a global symmetry of the original image by analyzing an applicability to the multiple local symmetries of multiple candidate homographies contributed by the multiple local symmetries. The image modification module associates individual pixels of the original image with a global symmetry indicator to produce a global symmetry association map. The image modification module produces a manipulated image by manipulating the original image under global symmetry constraints imposed by the global symmetry association map.

    Abstract: Various embodiments describe video object segmentation using a neural network and the training of the neural network. The neural network both detects a target object in the current frame based on a reference frame and a reference mask that define the target object and propagates the segmentation mask of the target object for a previous frame to the current frame to generate a segmentation mask for the current frame. In some embodiments, the neural network is pre-trained using synthetically generated static training images and is then fine-tuned using training videos.

    Abstract: Matching an illumination of an embedded virtual object (VO) with current environment illumination conditions provides an enhanced immersive experience to a user. To match the VO and environment illuminations, illumination basis functions are determined based on preprocessing image data, captured as a first combination of intensities of direct illumination sources illuminates the environment. Each basis function corresponds to one of the direct illumination sources. During the capture of runtime image data, a second combination of intensities illuminates the environment. An illumination-weighting vector is determined based on the runtime image data. The determination of the weighting vector accounts for indirect illumination sources, such as surface reflections. The weighting vector encodes a superposition of the basis functions that corresponds to the second combination of intensities. The method illuminates the VO based on the weighting vector. The resulting illumination of the VO matches the second combination of the intensities and surface reflections.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the technology described herein, make unknown material-maps in a Physically Based Rendering (PBR) asset usable through an identification process that relies, at least in part, on image analysis. In addition, when a desired material-map type is completely missing from a PBR asset the technology described herein may generate a suitable synthetic material map for use in rendering. In one aspect, the correct map type is assigned using a machine classifier, such as a convolutional neural network, which analyzes image content of the unknown material map and produce a classification. The technology described herein also correlates material maps into material definitions using a combination of the material-map type and similarity analysis. The technology described herein may generate synthetic maps to be used in place of the missing material maps. The synthetic maps may be generated using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN).

    Abstract: Enhanced methods and systems for generating both a geometry model and an optical-reflectance model (an object reconstruction model) for a physical object, based on a sparse set of images of the object under a sparse set of viewpoints. The geometry model is a mesh model that includes a set of vertices representing the object's surface. The reflectance model is SVBRDF that is parameterized via multiple channels (e.g., diffuse albedo, surface-roughness, specular albedo, and surface-normals). For each vertex of the geometry model, the reflectance model includes a value for each of the multiple channels. The object reconstruction model is employed to render graphical representations of a virtualized object (a VO based on the physical object) within a computation-based (e.g., a virtual or immersive) environment. Via the reconstruction model, the VO may be rendered from arbitrary viewpoints and under arbitrary lighting conditions.
