Abstract: An interactive palette interface includes a color picker for digital paint applications. A user can create, modify and select colors for creating digital artwork using the interactive palette interface. The interactive palette interface includes a mixing dish in which colors can be added, removed and rearranged to blend together to create gradients and gamuts. The mixing dish is a digital simulation of a physical palette on which an artist adds and mixes various colors of paint before applying the paint to the artwork. Color blobs, which are logical groups of pixels in the mixing dish, can be spatially rearranged and scaled by a user to create and explore different combinations of colors. The color, position and size of each blob influences the color of other pixels in the mixing dish. Edits to the mixing dish are non-destructive, and an infinite history of color combinations is preserved.

Abstract: A face tracking system generates a model for extracting a set of facial anchor points on a face within a portion of a face image based a multiple-level cascade of decision trees. The face tracking system identifies a mesh shape adjusted to an image of a face. For each decision tree, the face tracking system identifies an adjustment vector for the mesh shape relative to the image of the face. For each cascade level, the face tracking system combines the identified adjustment for each decision tree to determine a combined adjustment vector for the cascade level. The face tracking system modifies adjustment of the mesh shape to the face in the image based on the combined adjustment vector. The face tracking system reduces the model to a dictionary and atom weights using a learned dictionary. The model may be more easily transmitted to devices and stored on devices.
