Bart, what is the magic sauce here? I mean, how it it different from the conventional mask and replace? Is the AI deployed in mask generation?
Rajan, what I understand of it from reading bits and pieces here and there, the AI attempts to detect light-direction/angle in the (landscape) image, then looks up a sky image that roughly had the same light angle (presumably with horizontal flipping), then masks out the bland sky and replaces that with the more cloudy version it looked up from its database. I also assume it changes color temperature some to get a better match.
But I have no inside knowledge of how they actually implemented it, or how well it performs in this first implementation.
Cheers,
Bart
