Nvidia patents method to blend AI-edited images back into video streams
Nvidia describes a system that identifies specific parts of an image that have been altered by a neural network. It then aligns these modified sections with the original reference image to ensure they fit together seamlessly when displayed as a live content stream.
In the filing’s own words
In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to registering image processing with image registration for image generation and content stream applications. Systems and methods are disclosed for registering portions of images that are modified to incorporate content or features, with references images from which the portions of the images are identified. The systems and methods can transform the modified portions to more realistically and precisely merge back into the reference images, such as for presentation as a content stream.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A system, comprising: one or more processors to: identify a portion of a subimage comprising a subset of pixels modified from a reference image according to at least one of (i) a criterion for detection of a feature in the portion of the modified subimage or (ii) a criterion for expected movement of one or more pixels representing the feature in the portion of the modified subimage; perform registration of the portion of the modified subimage, with a corresponding portion of the reference image to meet at least one criterion for alignment between the portion of the modified subimage and the corresponding portion of the reference image; and transform the modified subimage based at least on the registration to obtain a transformed subimage.
