Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional digital image systems using diffusion neural networks fail to accurately preserve color harmony and image composition when generating new images, leading to inaccurate image search results.

Innovation Solution

An image context modification system that generates a blurred digital image from a sample image to obscure content while retaining color harmony and composition, using a diffusion neural network to denoise this blurred image and generate new content based on a text prompt, ensuring the new image maintains the original color themes and visual element arrangement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional diffusion neural networks generate new images from random noise, then image content diversity is improved, but color harmony and composition preservation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by extracting color palettes and composition structures from source images before the diffusion generation process. These extracted features are then preserved and applied during image generation, ensuring that color harmony and composition are maintained while allowing content diversity through the diffusion process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components including a color palette extractor that captures color relationships, a composition structure extractor that identifies spatial arrangements, and a feature preserver that maintains these extracted features throughout the diffusion process. These intermediaries act as mediators between the source image and generated images, ensuring fidelity in color and composition while enabling content variation.

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating digital images utilizing a diffusion neural network to preserve color harmony and image composition from a sample digital image while modifying image content. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive, via user input, a text prompt defining query image content and a sample digital image depicting a color harmony. In some cases, the disclosed systems generate a blurred digital image by blurring pixels of the sample digital image while preserving the color harmony. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate, utilizing a diffusion neural network, a modified digital image depicting the query image content having the color harmony of the sample digital image by denoising the blurred digital image toward a noise vector of the text prompt.
