Abstract
Methods and devices for manipulating an image are described. The method comprises receiving image data, the image data including a first image obtained from a first camera and a second image obtained from a second camera, the first camera and the second camera being oriented in a common direction; identifying one or more boundaries of an object in the image data by analyzing the first image and the second image; and displaying a manipulated image based on the image data, wherein the manipulated image includes manipulation of at least a portion of the first image based on boundaries of the object.
Claims16
A method implemented by a processor of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving image data, the image data including a first image obtained from a first camera and a second image obtained from a second camera, the first camera and the second camera being oriented in a common direction;
- and
- performing image segmentation by analyzing the second image to obtain depth information and identifying one or more boundaries of an object in the first image based on the depth information.
An electronic device comprising:
- a memory;
- a display;
- a first camera and a second camera, the first camera and the second camera being oriented in a common direction;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the display, the first camera, and the second camera, the processor being configured to:
- receive image data, the image data including a first image obtained from the first camera and a second image obtained from the second camera;
- and
- perform image segmentation by analyzing the second image to obtain depth information and identifying one or more boundaries of an object in the first image based on the depth information.
A non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium encoded with computer executable instructions, wherein execution of the computer executable instructions is for:
- receiving image data, the image data including a first image obtained from a first camera and a second image obtained from a second camera, the first camera and the second camera being oriented in a common direction;
- and
- performing image segmentation by analyzing the second image to obtain depth information and identifying one or more boundaries of an object in the first image based on the depth information.
