ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,488,555, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to Adobe Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).
"Efficient object segmentation" was invented by Zichuan Liu (San Jose, Calif.), Xin Lu (Saratoga, Calif.) and Mingyuan Wu (Champaign, Ill.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In implementations of systems for efficient object segmentation, a computing device implements a segment system to receive a user input specifying coordinates of a digital image. The segment system computes receptive fields of a machine learning model based on the coordinates of the digital image. The machine learning model is trained on training data to generate segment masks for objects depicted i...
