Abstract

This disclosure includes technologies for image processing, specifically for generating layout variations that are different but visually consistent with the input layout. The disclosed system determines a visual flow of the design blocks in the input layout, and then generates layout variations based on the visual flow. Advantageously, the disclosed technologies enable both novices and seasoned designers to efficiently create alternative layout variations, even in real-time with intricate designs.
