Highly automated image recomposition: the picture you wish you had taken
Jiebo Luo, Phoury Lei · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2007
Have you ever lamented, "I wish I had taken a different picture of that 'Kodak Moment' when everyone was smiling and no one blinked"? With image recomposition, we strive to deliver the "one-click fix" experience to customers so they can easily create the perfect pictures that they never actually took. To accomplish this, a graphic user interface was created that integrates existing and new algorithms, including face detection, facial feature location, face recognition, expression recognition, face appearance and pose matching, and seamless blending. Advanced modes include face relighting. This system is capable of performing image recomposition from a mixture of videos and still photos, with ease of use and a high degree of automation.
