Content-aware selection

The computer-implemented method of claim Error! Reference source not found., further comprising:

• determining that the location is within a region of the digital image that includes a set of pixels representing the first object;
• identifying a first bounding box for the first object;
• determining that the region of the digital image is included in a second bounding box for an additional object from the plurality of objects, wherein an additional label is associated with the additional object;
• and
• responsive to determining that the region of the digital image is included in the second bounding box, including an additional option in the menu based upon the additional label.

A computing device executing a content-aware selection system, the computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory component configured to implement instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receiving metadata information for a plurality of objects depicted in a digital image, wherein, for each object in the plurality of objects, the metadata information comprises a label associated with that object;
• generating a set of hierarchical relationships among the labels identified in the metadata information for the plurality of objects;
• receiving a user input directed to a location within the digital image;
• based upon the location, identifying a first object from the plurality of objects and a first label associated with the first object;
• determining, based upon the set of hierarchical relationships, a second label that is included in the set of hierarchical relationships;
• generating a menu comprising a plurality of user-selectable options for selecting one or more of the plurality of objects, the plurality of user-selectable options comprising a first option based upon the first label and a second option based upon the second label;
• and
• outputting the menu including the plurality of user-selectable options via an output device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

• receiving metadata information for a plurality of objects depicted in a digital image, wherein, for each object in the plurality of objects, the metadata information comprises a label associated with that object;
• generating a set of hierarchical relationships among the labels identified in the metadata information for the plurality of objects;
• receiving a user input directed to a location within the digital image;
• based upon the location, identifying a first object from the plurality of objects and a first label associated with the first object;
• determining, based upon the set of hierarchical relationships, a second label that is included in the set of hierarchical relationships;
• generating a menu comprising a plurality of user-selectable options for selecting one or more of the plurality of objects, the plurality of user-selectable options comprising a first option based upon the first label and a second option based upon the second label;
• and
• outputting the menu including the plurality of user-selectable options via an output device.
