    摘要: This disclosure describes an integrated framework for class-unsupervised object segmentation. The class-unsupervised object segmentation occurs by integrating top-down constraints and bottom-up constraints on object shapes using an algorithm in an integrated manner. The algorithm describes a relationship among object parts and superpixels. This process forms object shapes with object parts and oversegments pixel images into the superpixels, with the algorithm in conjunction with the constraints. This disclosure describes computing a mask map from a hybrid graph, segmenting the image into a foreground object and a background, and displaying the foreground object from the background.

    摘要: Systems and methods of segmenting images are disclosed. The similarity of images in a set of images is compared. A group of images is selected from the set of images. The images in the group of images are selected based on compared similarities among the images. An informative image is selected from the group of images. User-defined semantic information of the informative image is received. The group of images is modeled as a graph. Each image in the group of images denotes a node in the graph. Edges of the graph denote a foreground or background relationship between images. One or more images in the group of images may be automatically segmented by propagating semantic information of the informative image to images in the group having a graph node corresponding to the informative image. Segmentation results can be refined according to user provided image semantics.

    摘要: Digital video effects are described. In one aspect, a foreground object in a video stream is identified. The video stream comprises multiple image frames. The foreground object is modified by rendering a 3-dimensional (3-D) visual feature over the foreground object for presentation to a user in a modified video stream. Pose of the foreground object is tracked in 3-D space across respective ones of the image frames to identify when the foreground object changes position in respective ones of the image frames. Based on this pose tracking, aspect ratio of the 3-D visual feature is adaptively modified and rendered over the foreground object in corresponding image frames for presentation to the user in the modified video stream.

    摘要: Exemplary systems and methods use micro-structure modeling of an image for extracting image features. The micro-structure in an image is modeled as a Markov Random Field, and the model parameters are learned from training images. Micro-patterns adaptively designed from the modeled micro-structure capture spatial contexts of the image. In one implementation, a series of micro-patterns based on the modeled micro-structure can be automatically designed for each block of the image, providing improved feature extraction and recognition because of adaptability to various images, various pixel attributes, and various sites within an image.

    摘要: A search includes comparing a query image provided by a user to a plurality of stored images of faces stored in a stored image database, and determining a similarity of the query image to the plurality of stored images. One or more resultant images of faces, selected from among the stored images, are displayed to the user based on the determined similarity of the stored images to the query image provided by the user. The resultant images are displayed based at least in part on one or more facial features.

    摘要: The present video tracking technique outputs a Maximum A Posterior (MAP) solution for a target object based on two object templates obtained from a start and an end keyframe of a whole state sequence. The technique first minimizes the whole state space of the sequence by generating a sparse set of local two-dimensional modes in each frame of the sequence. The two-dimensional modes are converted into three-dimensional points within a three-dimensional volume. The three-dimensional points are clustered using a spectral clustering technique where each cluster corresponds to a possible trajectory segment of the target object. If there is occlusion in the sequence, occlusion segments are generated so that an optimal trajectory of the target object can be obtained.

    摘要: A flash-based strategy is used to separate foreground information from background information within image information. In this strategy, a first image is taken without the use of flash. A second image is taken of the same subject matter with the use of flash. The foreground information in the flash image is illuminated by the flash to a much greater extent than the background information. Based on this property, the strategy applies processing to extract the foreground information from the background information. The strategy supplements the flash information by also taking into consideration motion information and color information.

    摘要: Systems and methods perform automatic 3D face modeling. In one implementation, a brief video clip of a user's head turning from front to side provides enough input for automatically achieving a model that includes 2D feature matches, 3D head pose, 3D face shape, and facial textures. The video clip of the user may be of poor quality. In a two layer iterative method, the video clip is divided into segments. Flow-based feature estimation and model-based feature refinement are applied recursively to each segment. Then the feature estimation and refinement are iteratively applied across all the segments. The entire modeling method is automatic and the two layer iterative method provides speed and efficiency, especially when sparse bundle adjustment is applied to boost efficiency.
