Methods, systems, and computer readable storage media for using image processing to develop a library of facial expressions. The system can receive digital video of at least one speaker, then execute image processing on the video to identify landmarks within facial features of the speaker. The system can also identify vectors based on the landmarks, then assign each vector to an expression, resulting in a plurality of speaker expressions. The system then scores the expressions based on similarity to one another, and creates subsets based on the similarity scores.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a facial image deformation method and apparatuses, an electronic device, and a computer-readable media. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: determining an anchor point corresponding to a dragging operation in response to detecting the dragging operation on a target facial image, wherein the anchor point corresponds to a part displayed in the target facial image; determining an offset of the anchor point based on a movement amount corresponding to the dragging operation; and deforming the target facial image based on the offset of the anchor point.

A method performs zooming based on gesture detection. A visual stream is presented using a first zoom configuration for a zoom state. An attention gesture is detected from a set of first images from the visual stream. The zoom state is adjusted from the first zoom configuration to a second zoom configuration to zoom in on a person in response to detecting the attention gesture. The visual stream is presented using the second zoom configuration after adjusting the zoom state to the second zoom configuration. Whether the person is speaking is determined, from a set of second images from the visual stream. The zoom state is adjusted to the first zoom configuration to zoom out from the person in response to determining that the person is not speaking. The visual stream is presented using the first zoom configuration after adjusting the zoom state to the first zoom configuration.

A matching support apparatus 10 has a generation unit 11 that, in the case where a feature region indicating a facial feature of a person targeted for matching visible on the skin surface of the person targeted for matching is designated, using a reference face development image display region, displayed on the screen of a display device 30, for displaying a reference face development image generated based on three-dimensional data of a head serving as a reference, generates feature information relating to the designated feature region, a matching unit 12 that matches the feature information against matching information in which a matching-use face development image and matching-use feature region for each person registered in advance are associated with each other, and a selection unit 13 for selecting a person to serve as a candidate, based on a matching result.

An image processing method and device, and a computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: performing a channel expansion process on the input image to obtain a first intermediate image; performing a channel decomposition process for multiple times based on the first intermediate image, wherein each time of channel decomposition process includes: decomposing an image to be processed into a first decomposition image and a second decomposition image; concatenating first decomposition images generated in each time of channel decomposition process and second decomposition image generated in the last time of channel decomposition process to obtain a concatenated image; performing a post-processing process on the concatenated image to obtain a second intermediate image; and fusing the second intermediate image with the input image to obtain the first output image.

A camera system comprising a body that contains a lens with a range of focus settings and an image sensor operable to record an image. The camera system has a controller operably connected to the sensor to receive the image, and the controller is operably connected to the lens to control the focus setting. The controller is operable to focus the lens on a selected point, and the controller is operable to determine at least two different first and second subject elements. The controller is operable to focus the lens on the first subject and record a first image, and the controller is operable to focus the lens on the second subject and record a second image.

An auxiliary filtering device for face recognition is provided. The auxiliary filtering device is used to exclude an ineligible object to be identified according to the relative relationship between object distances and image sizes, the image variation with time and/or the feature difference between images captured by different cameras to prevent the possibility of cracking the face recognition by using a photo or a video.

An image processing device includes an evaluation unit configured to evaluate whether a first region of a captured image satisfies a quality condition, and a composition frame setting unit configured to set a different composition frame in the captured image in accordance with an evaluation result of the first region.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of image processing technologies and disclose an image processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The image processing method includes: when an obtained first image includes a human face, performing a first transformation process on the first image to obtain a second image; determining, based on a first target face key point of the human face in the first image, a target position, in the first image, of a second target face key point of the human face in the second image; performing a first movement process on the second image based on the target position; and generating a target image based on the first image and the second image processed through the first movement process, and displaying the target image.

A method for measuring distance is provided and includes: receiving an image captured by an image capturing device; identifying and extracting a human face in the image; identifying two eyes and a mouth included in the human face; defining a region using the two eyes and the mouth, and calculating a number of pixels contained in the region; and calculating a distance between the human face and the image capturing device based on the number of pixels contained in the region and a resolution of the image capturing device.
