Towards object-based image editing.
Hailing Zhou · 2012
With the increasing use of images in web design, document processing, entertainment, medical analysis, virtual environment creation, etc., the demand is dramatically growing for effective editing techniques that can fast and accurately create, compose, render and manipulate image contents.In recent years, plenty of research has been conducted for these tasks.However, the current techniques for these tasks are still far away from being satisfactory.It usually needs extensive user guidance, with painstaking time and effort, to produce a desired result.Our research thus investigates new techniques and tools for effective creation, extraction, composition, and other manipulations of image contents.We introduce an object oriented and vector based image editing framework.With the framework, we perceive an image as a set of objects represented by vector graphics so that image editing can be performed easily and semantically.The framework consists of four technical components: image segmentation, shape completion, image completion I would like to thank Dr. Jianmin Zheng, my supervisor, for his time, effort and constant support during this research.His great knowledge and serious attitude to research work benefit me well, in particular pushing me to understand problems deeply and write high quality papers.
