This invention describes a way to change digital images using artificial intelligence. It works by first creating a detailed map of an image that labels what each part of the picture represents, like a person or a background. Then, it uses specialized AI models called diffusion neural networks, one to process this semantic map and another to generate a new, modified image based on the changes suggested by the map.
Why it matters: Since its filing in 2023, the capabilities and efficiency of diffusion neural networks, particularly for semantic image manipulation and conditioning, have advanced significantly. This makes the specific two-stage diffusion process described, involving both semantic map and image diffusion networks, more practical and performant to implement today.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
