    摘要: A system and method for expansion and reduction of images uses an absolute value associated with each pixel of an input image (e.g., a color and/or intensity value) to determine a respective energy value for each pixel. For example, a given color or range of colors (e.g., skin tones, or other high-priority colors) may be assigned higher energy values than other colors and/or color ranges, and may be protected during image reduction and/or expansion. These energy values may be used to determine a cost associated with various seams of the image, which may represent the priority of the seams in the image. One or more low-cost seams may be identified for removal or replication to produce a resized image. The methods may be used in conjunction with an automated skin tone detector or a user interface that allows selection of one or more high priority colors or color ranges.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for generating a location-weighted mask based on a color model comprising spatial dimensions. In one embodiment, a selection of at least one pixel in an input image is received, wherein the selection of the at least one pixel comprises a color and a location within the input image. A color model may be determined based on the color and the location of the at least one pixel, wherein the color model comprises one or more truncated Gaussian functions. A mask may be generated based on the color model. The mask may indicate a degree of membership in the mask for each pixel in the input image as a function of a similarity in color to the at least one pixel in the selection and a proximity to the location of the at least one pixel in the selection.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for automatically detecting skin tones in an input image are disclosed. An initial skin tone mask for the image may be created dependent on a general skin tone model. An upper threshold and/or a lower threshold may be applied to the initial skin tone mask to identify pixels most likely to be skin pixels and least likely to be skin pixels, respectively. These pixels may be used to produce an image-specific skin tone model, including one or more truncated Gaussian models for skin pixels and/or non-skin pixels defined in a three-dimensional color space. The image-specific skin tone model may be applied to the image to generate a final skin tone mask. Skin tone detection may be automatically or selectively performed in conjunction with image editing or image feature identification operations to target or exclude skin pixels or non-skin pixels during execution of the operations.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for temporal matte filtering. Temporal matte filtering methods are described that improve the temporal coherence of alpha mattes for a video sequence while maintaining the matte structures on individual frames. The temporal matte filter may implement a level-set-based matte averaging method. In the level-set-based matte averaging method, two or more input alpha mattes are obtained. Level set curves are generated for the two or more alpha mattes. An averaged level set is computed from the two or more level sets according to a distance-transform-based technique. A temporally smoothed alpha matte may then be reconstructed by interpolating pixel alpha values between the inner and outer level set curves of the averaged level set. The alpha mattes can be optionally warped towards a center frame according to an optical flow technique before the averaging operation performed by the temporal matte filter.
