    摘要: Videos are retargeted to a target display for viewing with little to no geometric distortion or video information loss. Salient regions of video frames may be determined using scale-space spatiotemporal information. Video information loss may be a result of spatial loss, due to cropping, and resolution loss, due to resizing. A desired cropping window may be determined using a coarse-to-fine searching strategy. Video frames may be cropped with a window that matches an aspect ratio of the target display, and resized isotropically to match a size of the target display.

    摘要: Efficient image display on a display screen (e.g., in terms of number, space, resolution, and/or distortion) is facilitated by implementing one or more specialized select and pack routines for images. That is, representative images are selected from an image database, based on desired resolution and distortion, then resized and packed into a display arrangement that enhances use of display screen space. This allows, for example, images to be sent to a user from an image database more quickly, with more desirable resolution, and less distortion than traditional display techniques.

    摘要: A subregion-based image parameter recovery system and method for recovering image parameters from a single image containing a face taken under sub-optimal illumination conditions. The recovered image parameters (including albedo, illumination, and face geometry) can be used to generate face images under a new lighting environment. The method includes dividing the face in the image into numerous smaller regions, generating an albedo morphable model for each region, and using a Markov Random Fields (MRF)-based framework to model the spatial dependence between neighboring regions. Different types of regions are defined, including saturated, shadow, regular, and occluded regions. Each pixel in the image is classified and assigned to a region based on intensity, and then weighted based on its classification. The method decouples the texture from the geometry and illumination models, and then generates an objective function that is iteratively solved using an energy minimization technique to recover the image parameters.

    摘要: An “Image Segmenter” provides a variational energy formulation for segmentation of natural objects from images. In general, the Image Segmenter operates by adopting Gaussian mixture models (GMM) to capture the appearance variation of objects in one or more images. A global image data likelihood potential is then computed and combined with local region potentials to obtain a robust and accurate estimation of pixel foreground and background distributions. Iterative minimization of a “global-local energy function” is then accomplished by evolution of a foreground/background boundary curve by level set, and estimation of a foreground/background model by fixed-point iteration, termed “quasi-semi-supervised EM.” In various embodiments, this process is further improved by providing general object shape information for use in rectifying objects segmented from the image.

    摘要: A system and method for mapping facial expressions. Facial expressions exhibit not only facial feature motions, but also subtle changes in illumination and appearance (e.g., facial creases and wrinkles). These details are important visual cues, but they are difficult to synthesize. Traditional expression mapping techniques consider feature motions while the details in illumination changes are ignored. A novel technique for facial expression mapping is presented. The illumination change of one person's expression is captured in what is called expression ratio image (ERI). Together with geometric warping, an ERI is mapped to any other person's face image to generate more expressive facial expressions.

    摘要: A system and method, called Image-Based Surface Detail Transfer, to transfer geometric details from one surface of an object in an image to another with simple 2D image operations. The basic observation is that, without knowing its 3D geometry, geometric details (local deformations) can be extracted from a single image of an object in a way independent of its surface reflectance, and furthermore, these geometric details can be transferred to modify the appearance of other objects directly in images. Examples are shown including surface detail transfer between real objects, as well as between real and synthesized objects.
