Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for modifying a digital image. For example, systems and methods described herein involve identifying a target portion of a digital image to remove from the digital image. The systems and methods further involve identifying geometric features intersecting or surrounding the identified target portion. The systems and methods further involve analyzing and identifying a source portion having geometric properties that correspond to the identified geometric features intersecting the target portion. Further, the systems and methods involve removing the target portion and replacing the target portion with the source portion by aligning the geometric properties to blend together with the background surrounding the removed target portion. In this way, the output image includes a replacement portion in place of the removed target portion that blends together with the background of the output image.
