HARMONIZING COMPOSITE IMAGES UTILIZING A SEMANTIC-GUIDED TRANSFORMER NEURAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18053027 titled 'HARMONIZING COMPOSITE IMAGES UTILIZING A SEMANTIC-GUIDED TRANSFORMER NEURAL NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a system, computer-readable media, and methods for implementing a multi-branch harmonization neural network architecture to harmonize composite images. The system includes a convolutional branch, a transformer branch, and a semantic branch to generate a harmonized composite image based on an input composite image and a corresponding segmentation mask.
- Convolutional branch: Extracts localized information from the input composite image using convolutional neural network layers followed by a style normalization layer.
- Transformer branch: Extracts global information based on different resolutions of the input composite image using transformer neural network layers.
- Semantic branch: Generates semantic features through a visual neural network to inform the harmonization of the composite images.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that implement a multi-branch harmonization neural network architecture to harmonize composite images. For example, in one or more implementations, the semantic-guided transformer-based harmonization system uses a convolutional branch, a transformer branch, and a semantic branch to generate a harmonized composite image based on an input composite image and a corresponding segmentation mask. More particularly, the convolutional branch comprises a series of convolutional neural network layers followed by a style normalization layer to extract localized information from the input composite image. Further, the transformer branch comprises a series of transformer neural network layers to extract global information based on different resolutions of the input composite image. The semantic branch includes a visual neural network that generates semantic features that inform the harmonization of the composite images.
