Automatic Identification of Distracting Vivid Regions in An Image

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a process, the process comprising:

• performing vividness scoring for a plurality of pixels pixel of a digital image;
• determining one or more candidate pixels based on the vividness scoring for the plurality of pixels;
• agglomerating the one or more candidate pixels into one or more suggested agglomerates;
• determining at least one subject of the digital image;
• removing at least one agglomerate from the one or more suggested agglomerates based on at least one of the at least one subject of the digital image or one or more characteristics of the at least one agglomerate;
• generating a modified digital image with the one or more suggested agglomerates modified;
• and
• outputting the modified digital image.

A computing system for modifying a digital image, the computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory, computer-readable memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a process, the process comprising:
• performing vividness scoring for a plurality of pixels of the digital image;
• determining one or more candidate pixels based on the vividness scoring for the plurality of pixels;
• agglomerating the one or more candidate pixels into one or more suggested agglomerates;
• determining at least one subject of the digital image;
• removing at least one agglomerate from the one or more suggested agglomerates based on at least one of the at least one subject of the digital image or one or more characteristics of the at least one agglomerate;
• generating a modified digital image with the one or more suggested agglomerates modified;
• and
• outputting the modified digital image.
