Computing systems may support image classification and image detection services, and these services may utilize object detection/image classification machine learning models. The described techniques provide for normalization of confidence scores corresponding to manipulated target images and for non-max suppression within the range of confidence scores for manipulated images. In one example, the techniques provide for generating different scales of a test image, and the system performs normalization of confidence scores corresponding to each scaled image and non-max suppression per scaled image These techniques may be used to provide more accurate image detection (e.g., object detection and/or image classification) and may be used with models that are not trained on modified image sets. The model may be trained on a standard (e.g. non-manipulated) image set but used with manipulated target images and the described techniques to provide accurate object detection.

The present invention enables the automatic generation and recommendation of embedded images. An embedded image includes a visual representation of a context-appropriate object embedded within a scene image. The context and aesthetic properties (e.g., the colors, textures, lighting, position, orientation, and size) of the visual representation of the object may be automatically varied to increase an associated objective compatibility score that is based on the context and aesthetics of the scene image. The scene image may depict a visual representation of a scene, e.g., a background scene. Thus, a scene image may be a background image that depicts a background and/or scene to automatically pair with the object. The object may be a three-dimensional (3D) physical or virtual object. The automatically generated embedded image may be a composite image that includes at least a partially optimized visual representation of a context-appropriate object composited within the scene image.
