    Abstract: Techniques involving flexible video object boundary tracking are described. One or more curves, such as Bezier curves, are received as drawn by a user on an initial frame of video to define a boundary of an object in the frame. The curves are then mapped to a subsequent or previous frame of the video where the object is included but has a new or changed boundary. A segmentation boundary is determined for the object in the subsequent frame and endpoints of segments of the curves are snapped to the segmentation boundary. Additionally, confidence values are determined for subregions of the frame that include portions of the curves. These confidence values are used to update control points on the curve segments to fit the curve segments to the new or changed boundary of the object in the frame.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for image enhancement using self-examples in combination with external examples. In one embodiment, an image manipulation application receives an input image patch of an input image. The image manipulation application determines a first weight for an enhancement operation using self-examples and a second weight for an enhancement operation using external examples. The image manipulation application generates a first interim output image patch by applying the enhancement operation using self-examples to the input image patch and a second interim output image patch by applying the enhancement operation using external examples to the input image patch. The image manipulation application generates an output image patch by combining the first and second interim output image patches as modified using the first and second weights.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to methods and systems for facilitating control of smoothness of transitions between images. In embodiments, a difference of color values of pixels between a foreground image and the background image are identified along a boundary associated with a location at which to paste the foreground image relative to the background image. Thereafter, recursive down sampling of a region of pixels within the boundary by a sampling factor is performed to produce a plurality of down sampled images having color difference indicators associated with each pixel of the down sampled images. Such color difference indicators indicate whether a difference of color value exists for the corresponding pixel. To effectuate a seamless transition, the color difference indicators are normalized in association with each recursively down sampled image.

    Abstract: An image processing method separates an input image into a skeleton component, and residual component. In the method a local variation amount, which is a variation amount between a target pixel and a pixel adjacent to the target pixel, is calculated; a skeleton component extraction filter weight is calculated based on the local variation amount; an image feature amount of a gradient direction of a pixel value around the target pixel, and an image feature amount of a gradient strength of the pixel value around the target pixel, are calculated; the skeleton component extraction filter weight is corrected based on these image feature amount; a skeleton component extraction filter coefficient is calculated based on the corrected skeleton component extraction filter weight; and the skeleton component is extracted by applying skeleton component extraction filtering to the target pixel using the calculated skeleton component extraction filter coefficient.
