REPOSITIONING, REPLACING, AND GENERATING OBJECTS IN AN IMAGE

Smart overview of the Invention

A media application is designed to enhance images by repositioning, replacing, and generating objects. It begins by identifying an incomplete object within an image, often one that is partially cut off or obscured. The application then creates an object mask highlighting the incomplete object pixels. These pixels are removed from the original image, and an inpainted image is generated, filling the gaps with new pixels. The result is a complete object, which can be blended with the inpainted image to produce a modified version.

Method and Process

The process involves a computer-implemented method that starts with selecting an incomplete object in an image. This object is associated with a specific location and may be partially obscured. An object mask is generated to identify and remove the incomplete pixels. The application then creates an inpainted image to replace these pixels. A diffusion model uses this information to output a complete object, which is then integrated into the image at a new location, different from the original.

Additional Features

The application offers additional features, such as removing or moving objects within the modified image. Users can request the removal of selected objects, and the application will generate a new image without them. Similarly, objects can be moved to new locations within the image. These operations utilize models associated with the diffusion model to ensure seamless integration and realistic results.

Object Addition and Resizing

Users can also add new objects to the image using text prompts that describe the desired object. The application outputs these objects and blends them into the image. Additionally, resizing of objects is possible when moving them to new locations within the image. This ensures that the modified image maintains proportion and visual coherence.

Advanced Modifications

Further modifications include uncropping images to extend borders and adjusting lighting to add shadows based on the direction of light. These enhancements are executed through commands that extend the image's borders and adjust lighting conditions, providing a more natural and realistic appearance. The application is designed to perform these operations efficiently, ensuring high-quality image edits.
