Abstract
A face beautification system and a method of face beautification. On embodiment of the face beautification system includes: (1) a coarse feature detector configured to generate an approximation of facial features in an image, (2) an edge-preserving filter configured to reduce distortions in the approximation, and (3) a feature enhancer operable to selectively filter a facial feature from said approximation and carry out an enhancement.
Claims20
A face beautification system, comprising:
- a coarse feature detector configured to generate an approximation of facial features in an image;
- an edge-preserving filter configured to reduce distortions in said approximation;
- and
- a feature enhancer operable to selectively filter a facial feature from said approximation and carry out an enhancement.
1 more element
A method of face beautification for an image, comprising:
- applying a coarse feature mask to said image;
- filtering said coarse feature mask to preserve boundaries of facial features;
- detecting precise facial features in said coarse feature mask;
- and
- employing a feature enhancement on said precise facial features.
2 more elements
A computing device, comprising:
- a camera operable to capture an image;
- and
- a graphics processing unit (GPU) having:
- coarse feature masks operable to generate an approximation of facial features in said image,
- an edge-preserving filter configured to reduce distortions in said approximation,
- a precise feature mask operable to extract a facial feature from said approximation, and
- an enhancement processor configured to apply an enhancement to said facial feature.
