Perspective-aware Manipulation of Portrait Photos

Research from University of Princeton Department of Computer Science demonstrating method to alter portrait selfies as distant camera shots through computation to improve appearance of subject:

This paper introduces a method to modify the apparent relative pose and distance between camera and subject given a single portrait photo. Our approach fits a full perspective camera and a parametric 3D head model to the portrait, and then builds a 2D warp in the image plane to approximate the effect of a desired change in 3D. We show that this model is capable of correcting objectionable artifacts such as the large noses sometimes seen in “selfies,” or to deliberately bring a distant camera closer to the subject. This framework can also be used to re-pose the subject, as well as to create stereo pairs from an input portrait. We show convincing results on both an existing dataset as well as a new dataset we captured to validate our method.

RANKED: These are the best 13-inch laptops you can buy

If you’re looking for a 13-inch laptop with the right balance of performance, portability, and looks, your search is over.

For Windows 10 laptops, we suggest you buy them from the Microsoft Store, so you can avoid annoying trial software and the manufacturer’s own software that bloats the computer’s storage and hampers its performance.

Check out the best laptops you can buy today.
