    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention facilitate automatically white-balancing images captured under mixed lighting conditions. More particularly, some embodiments are directed to leveraging flash photography to capture two images in quick succession, one with the flash activated and one without. By combining these two images, a per-pixel white balance kernel can be automatically determined and used to generate a white-balanced image without requiring any user input or user assumptions about the lighting in the scene. In embodiments, the white balance kernels for pixels that lie in the shadow or appear as specular spots are masked and can be interpolated from the white balance kernels at unmasked kernels. Motion effects between the flash and non-flash images may also be reduced.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed at relighting a target image based on a lighting effect from a reference image. In one embodiment, a target image and a reference image are received, the reference image includes a lighting effect desired to be applied to the target image. A lighting transfer is performed using color data and geometrical data associated with the reference image and color data and geometrical data associated with the target image. The lighting transfer causes generation of a relit image that corresponds with the target image having a lighting effect of the reference image. The relit image is provided for display to a user via one or more output devices. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: In embodiments of image color and tone style transfer, a computing device implements an image style transfer algorithm to generate a modified image from an input image based on a color style and a tone style of a style image. A user can select the input image that includes color features, as well as select the style image that includes an example of the color style and the tone style to transfer to the input image. A chrominance transfer function can then be applied to transfer the color style to the input image, utilizing a covariance of an input image color of the input image to control modification of the input image color. A luminance transfer function can also be applied to transfer the tone style to the input image, utilizing a tone mapping curve based on a non-linear optimization to estimate luminance parameters of the tone mapping curve.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a sky editing system and related processes for sky editing. The sky editing system includes a composition detector to determine the composition of a target image. A sky search engine in the sky editing system is configured to find a reference image with similar composition with the target image. Subsequently, a sky editor replaces content of the sky in the target image with content of the sky in the reference image. As such, the sky editing system transforms the target image into a new image with a preferred sky background.
