Abstract
An image creation and editing tool can use the data produced from training a neural network to add stylized representations of an object to an image. An object classification will correspond to an object representation, and pixel values for the object representation can be added to, or blended with, the pixel values of an image in order to add a visualization of a type of object to the image. Such an approach can be used to add stylized representations of objects to existing images or create new images based on those representations. The visualizations can be used to create patterns and textures as well, as may be used to paint or fill various regions of an image. Such patterns can enable regions to be filled where image data has been deleted, such as to remove an undesired object, in a way that appears natural for the contents of the image.
