Abstract
A method and apparatus for image processing includes receiving images, detecting non-stationary objects in the images, displaying a first image that includes a non-stationary object, selecting a frame region including the non-stationary object in the first image, selecting a second image based on a low similarity with the first image, and replacing image data in the frame region of the first image with image data represented in the frame region of the second image.
Claims17
A method of image processing, the method comprising:
- receiving images including a non-stationary object, each image taken at a different time;
- detecting the non-stationary object in the images;
- displaying a first image including the non-stationary object among the images;
- detecting a selection of a frame region including a portion of the non-stationary object in the first image and displaying a graphic indicator of the frame region on the display;
- selecting a second image having a lowest similarity among the images with image data of the frame region;
- replacing the image data of the frame region of the first image with image data of the frame region of the second image such that the portion of the non-stationary object is removed from the first image and another portion of the non-stationary object is maintained in the first image;
- and
- displaying the first image with the replaced image data on a display,
- wherein the second image having the lowest similarity indicates an image that is absent the portion of the non-stationary object within the frame region of each of the images, and
- wherein the graphic indicator is defined by a radius centered on a point of the non-stationary object indicated by a user input, the radius further modifiable in response to a user gesture.
An electronic device comprising:
- an obtaining module configured to receive images of a non-stationary object;
- a display configured to display a first image including the non-stationary object among the images;
- a region module configured to detect a selection of a frame region including a portion of the non-stationary object in the first image such that a graphic indicator of the frame region is displayed on the display;
- a detection module configured to detect the non-stationary object in the images, and select a second image having a lowest similarity among the images with image data of the frame region;
- and a manipulation module configured to replace the image data of the frame region of the first image with image data of the frame region of the second image such that the portion of the non-stationary object is removed from the first image and another portion of the non-stationary object is maintained in the first image, and display the first image with the replaced image data via the display,
- wherein the second image having the lowest similarity indicates an image that is absent the portion of the non-stationary object within the frame region of each of the images, and
- wherein the graphic indicator is defined by a radius centered on a point of the non-stationary object indicated by a user input, the radius further modifiable in response to a user gesture.
An electronic device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one display;
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one program stored in the memory and configured to be executable by the at least one processor to:
- receive images including a non-stationary object, each image taken at a different time,
- detect the non-stationary object in the images,
- display a first image including the non-stationary object among the images,
- detect a selection of a frame region including a portion of the non-stationary object in the first image such that a graphic indicator of the frame region is displayed on the at least one display,
- select a second image having a lowest similarity among the images with image data of the frame region,
- replace the image data of the frame region of the first image with image data of the frame region of the second image such that the portion of the non-stationary object is removed from the first image and another portion of the non-stationary object is maintained in the first image, and
- display the first image with the replaced image data on a display,
- wherein the second image having the lowest similarity indicates an image that is absent the portion of the non-stationary object within the frame region of each of the images, and
- wherein the graphic indicator is defined by a radius centered on a point of the non-stationary object indicated by a user input, the radius further modifiable in response to a user gesture.
