    Abstract: In some implementations a neural network is trained to perform to directly predict thin boundaries of objects in images based on image characteristics. A neural network can be trained to predict thin boundaries of objects without requiring subsequent computations to reduce the thickness of the boundary prediction. Instead, the network is trained to make the predicted boundaries thin by effectively suppressing non-maximum values in normal directions along what might otherwise be a thick predicted boundary. To do so, the neural network can be trained to determine normal directions and suppress non-maximum values based on those determined normal directions.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to categorize a pixel (or other element) in an image into one of a number of different categories are described. In general, techniques are disclosed for using properties (e.g., statistics) of the regions being categorized to determine the appropriate size of window around a target pixel (element) and, when necessary, the manner in which the window may be changed if the current size is inappropriate. More particularly, adaptive window size selection techniques are disclosed for use when categorizing an image's pixels into one of two categories (e.g., black or white). Statistics of the selected region may be cascaded to determine whether the current evaluation window is acceptable and, if it is not, an appropriate factor by which to change the currently selected window's size

    Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide systems and methods that determine relationships between objects based on an original semantic mesh of vertices and faces that represent the 3D geometry of a physical environment. Such an original semantic mesh may be generated and used to provide input to a machine learning model that estimates relationships between the objects in the physical environment. For example, the machine learning model may output a graph of nodes and edges indicating that a vase is on top of a table or that a particular instance of a vase, V1, is on top of a particular instance of a table, T1.

    Abstract: Various implementations manage an electronic asset by creating a representation of an electronic asset and its variants. This may be accomplished by identifying variants of an electronic asset, identifying a portion of a feature space associated with the asset and variants, and providing a representation corresponding to that portion of feature space. A fixed function classifier may be used to determine the points in the feature space for the electronic asset and its variants. The set of points produced for an asset and its variants using such a fixed function classifier will be near one another in feature space. Moreover, the area around such points will also represent points for other similar variations of the asset and thus, the portion of the feature space around the points can be considered the area of ownership for the electronic asset, e.g., it defines a boundary of what the creator is asserting is his or her creation.

    Abstract: In one implementation, consumption of media content (such as video, audio, or text) is supplemented with an immersive synthesized reality (SR) map based on the media content. In various implementations described herein, the SR map includes a plurality of SR environment representations which, when selected by a user, cause display of a corresponding SR environment.

    Abstract: In an exemplary process for providing content in an augmented reality environment, image data correspond to a physical environment are obtained. Based on the image data, predefined entities of the plurality of predefined entities in the physical environment are identified using classifiers corresponding to predefined entities. Based on the one or more of the identified predefined entities, a geometric layout of the physical environment is determined. Based on the geometric layout, an area corresponding to a particular entity is determined. The particular entity corresponds to one or more identified predefined entities. Based on the area corresponding to the particular entity, the particular entity in the physical environment is identified using classifiers corresponding to the determined area. Based on the identified particular entity, a type of the physical environment is determined. Based on the type of the physical environment, virtual-reality objects are displayed corresponding to a representation of the physical environment.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method of training a type-agnostic object segmentation system is performed in a type-agnostic object segmentation system including one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining a data set; generating a respective embedding vector for each of a plurality of pixels of the image frame; mapping a plurality of embedding vector representations into a dataspace defined by a dimensionality of the plurality of embedding vector representations; comparing the at least one object instance representation candidate against the respective segmentation mask; and adjusting the type-agnostic object segmentation system in order to satisfy an error threshold across the plurality of image data frames according to a determination that the at least one object instance representation candidate and the respective segmentation mask differ by a threshold value.
