Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating content. The system identifies first and second objects in a plurality of frames of a source content segment. The system creates a data structure for each object, where data structures comprise attributes of the respective objects. Furthermore, the data structures are generated such that each object may be reconstructed based on the data of the respective data structure. Later, one of the data structures is modified by changing an attribute. Then, a resulting content segment is generated by a system that reconstructs a first modified object based on the first modified data structure and reconstructs the second object based on the second data structure.

Claims (38)

1. A method for generating content, the method comprising:

identifying a first object depicted in at least one frame of a source content segment;

generating a first data structure that comprises a first plurality of attributes of the first object, wherein the first object can be reconstructed based on the first data structure;

accessing a second data structure that comprises a second plurality of attributes of a second object, wherein the second object can be reconstructed based on the second data structure;

modifying the first data structure by changing a first attribute of the first plurality of attributes based on a second attribute of the second plurality of attributes, such that an object that is reconstructed based on the first modified data structure is visually different from the first object, wherein the first attribute is expressed in the depiction of the first object in the at least one frame of the source content segment; and

generating a resulting content segment by reconstructing a first modified object based on the first modified data structure and replacing the first object in the at least one frame with the first modified object.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the second object depicted in the at least one frame of the source content segment;

generating the second data structure that comprises the second plurality of attributes of the second object, wherein the second object can be reconstructed based on the second data structure; and

wherein generating the resulting content segment further comprises reconstructing the second object based on the second data structure.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one attribute of the first plurality of attributes is a vectorized representation of the first object.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein modifying the first data structure comprises modifying the vectorized representation of the first object.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein modifying the vectorized representation of the first object comprises removing a portion of vectors of the vectorized representation of the first object and adding new vectors to the vectorized representation of the first object.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein modifying the vectorized representation of the object comprises changing a color of a portion of vectors of the vectorized representation of the first object.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein modifying the vectorized representation of the object comprises resizing a portion of vectors of the vectorized representation of the first object.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein modifying the vectorized representation of the object comprises replacing the vectorized representation of the first object with a vectorized representation of a third object, wherein the third object is resized to be the same size as the first object.

9. The method of claim 3 , wherein the vectorized representation of the first object comprises a vectorized representation of a sub-portion of the first object.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein modifying the first data structure comprises modifying the vectorized representation of the sub-portion of the first object.

11. A system for generating content, the system comprising:

storage circuitry configured to store a data structure; and

control circuitry configured to:

identify a first object depicted in at least one frame of a source content segment;

generate a first data structure that comprises a first plurality of attributes of the first object, wherein the first object can be reconstructed based on the first data structure;

access a second data structure that comprises a second plurality of attributes of a second object, wherein the second object can be reconstructed based on the second data structure;

modify the first data structure by changing a first attribute of the first plurality of attributes based on a second attribute of the second plurality of attributes, such that an object that is reconstructed based on the first modified data structure is visually different from the first object, wherein the first attribute is expressed in the depiction of the first object in the at least one frame of the source content segment; and

generate a resulting content segment by reconstructing a first modified object based on the first modified data structure and replacing the first object in the at least one frame with the first modified object.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

identify a second object depicted in the at least one frame of the source content segment;

generate a second data structure that comprises a second plurality of attributes of the second object, wherein the second object can be reconstructed based on the second data structure; and

wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate the resulting content segment by reconstructing the second object based on the second data structure.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein one attribute of the first plurality of attributes is a vectorized representation of the first object.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the first data structure, is configured to modify the vectorized representation of the first object.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the vectorized representation of the first object, is configured to remove a portion of vectors of the vectorized representation of the first object and add new vectors to the vectorized representation of the first object.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the vectorized representation of the object, is configured to change a color of a portion of vectors of the vectorized representation of the first object.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the vectorized representation of the object, is configured to resize a portion of vectors of the vectorized representation of the first object.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the vectorized representation of the object, is configured to replace the vectorized representation of the first object with a vectorized representation of a third object, wherein the third object is resized to be the same size as the first object.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the vectorized representation of the first object comprises a vectorized representation of a sub-portion of the first object.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the first data structure, is configured to modify the vectorized representation of the sub-portion of the first object.
