Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for generating artistic images by applying an artistic-effect to one or more frames of a video stream or digital images. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed system captures a video stream utilizing a camera of a computing device. The disclosed system deploys a distilled artistic-effect neural network on the computing device to generate an artistic version of the captured video stream at a first resolution in real time. The disclosed system can provide the artistic video stream for display via the computing device. Based on an indication of a capture event, the disclosed system utilizes the distilled artistic-effect neural network to generate an artistic image at a higher resolution than the artistic video stream. Furthermore, the disclosed system tunes and utilizes an artistic-effect patch generative adversarial neural network to modify parameters for the distilled artistic-effect neural network.

Generating stylized images on mobile devices

A method for performing efficient mixed-precision search for an artificial neural network (ANN) includes training the ANN by sampling selected candidate quantizers of a bank of candidate quantizer and updating network parameters for a next iteration based on outputs of layers of the ANN. The outputs are computed by processing quantized data with operators (e.g., convolution). The quantizers converge to optimal bit-widths that reduce classification losses bounded by complexity constrains.

Efficient mixed-precision search for quantizers in artificial neural networks

The present disclosure describes systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for accurately and efficiently removing objects from digital images taken from a camera viewfinder stream. For example, the disclosed systems access digital images from a camera viewfinder stream in connection with an undesired moving object depicted in the digital images. The disclosed systems generate a temporal window of the digital images concatenated with binary masks indicating the undesired moving object in each digital image. The disclosed systems further utilizes a generator as part of a 3D to 2D generative adversarial neural network in connection with the temporal window to generate a target digital image with the region associated with the undesired moving object in-painted. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed systems provide the target digital image to a camera viewfinder display to show a user how a future digital photograph will look without the undesired moving object.
