Abstract
A method for interactive image caricaturing by an electronic device is described. The method includes detecting at least one feature location of an image. The method further includes generating, based on the at least one feature location, an image mesh that comprises a grid of at least one horizontal line and at least one vertical line. The method additionally includes obtaining a gesture input. The method also includes determining at least one caricature action based on the at least one gesture input. The method further includes generating a caricature image based on the image mesh, the at least one caricature action and the image.

A method for interactive image editing by an electronic device, comprising:
- determining at least one facial feature location in an image;
- generating, based on the at least one facial feature location, an image mesh that comprises at least one vertex corresponding to the at least one facial feature location;
- obtaining at least one gesture input from a user via an image sensing device, wherein the at least one gesture input is not touch-based;
- determining at least one editing action based on the at least one gesture input, wherein the at least one editing action provides shifting information for the at least one vertex of the image mesh and provides a pixel map that maps an image vertex pixel to a corresponding edited image vertex pixel based on the shifting information, wherein eyes and a mouth in the image are moved in response to the gesture input;
- determining an updated image mesh based on the at least one gesture input;
- and
- generating an edited image based on the updated image mesh, wherein movement of the eyes and mouth are presented to the user on a display.
An electronic device for interactive image editing, comprising:
- feature location detection circuitry configured to determine at least one facial feature location in an image;
- image mesh generation circuitry coupled to the feature location detection circuitry, wherein the image mesh generation circuitry is configured to generate, based on the at least one facial feature location, an image mesh that comprises at least one vertex corresponding to the at least one facial feature location;
- sensing circuitry configured to obtain at least one gesture input from a user via an image sensing device, wherein the at least one gesture input is not touch-based;
- action determination circuitry coupled to the sensing circuitry, wherein the action determination circuitry is configured to determine at least one editing action based on the at least one gesture input, wherein the at least one editing action provides shifting information for the at least one vertex of the image mesh and provides a pixel map that maps an image vertex pixel to a corresponding edited image vertex pixel based on the shifting information, wherein eyes and a mouth in the image are moved in response to the gesture input, and to determine an updated image mesh based on the at least one gesture input;
- image generation circuitry coupled to the image mesh generation circuitry and the action determination circuitry, wherein the image generation circuitry is configured to generate an edited image based on the updated image mesh;
- and
- a display configured to present movement of the eyes and mouth to the user.
