A paper I wrote with Arik and Danny has been accepted to EG ’09. The paper is title ‘Image Appearance Exploration by Model Based Navigation’ and you can see the project page here.
The paper can be broadly categorized as an image processing paper, it deals with changing the appearance of an image by changing its colors. We tackle two major issues. The first one is how to model color changes in an image, and synthesize a new one with no (or little) artifacts. The second is how do we empower a user to make these changes? In most cases the user doesn’t have a well established desired outcome, and even if he does, getting there is a very tiresome trial and error process.
We model color changes using a Gaussian Mixture Model on the image’s colors, and present an innovative gallery based user interface which lets users explore through variations of an image, until they reach a desired result.
