SELF-PORTRAIT ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES

摘要

Systems and approaches are provided for optimizing self-portraiture. The background of the self-portrait can be enhanced by image registration or stitching techniques of images captured using one or more conventional cameras. Multiple standard resolution images can be stitched together to generate a panoramic or a composite image of a higher resolution. Foreground elements, such as one or more representations of users, can also be enhanced in various ways. The representations of the users can be composited to exclude undesirable elements, such as image data of one of the users extending her arm to capture the self-portrait. An ideal pose of the users can automatically be selected and other image enhancements, such as histogram optimization, brightness and contrast optimization, color-cast correction, or reduction or removal of noise, can automatically be performed to minimize user effort in capturing self-portraits.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining a plurality of images; determining one or more background elements from the plurality of images; determining a plurality of foreground elements from the plurality of images; generating a background image comprising a first composite of at least a portion of the one or more background elements; ranking the plurality of foreground elements according to one or more visual characteristics; and generating a self-portrait image, the self-portrait image comprising at least one of the plurality of foreground elements based on the ranking of the plurality of foreground elements and the background image.
