  • Publication number: 20170147867
    Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for automatically removing an individual from an image or group of images. One example method includes receiving a request to remove an individual from an image. Specifically, this request includes a selection of the individual's face in the image. Next, preferences relating to removal of the individual are received, such as preferred selections about whether to remove the individual completely from the image, whether to replace the individual with a substitute, and whether to retain selected individuals in the image. Facial features associated with the individual and body features associated with the individual are then identified and the individual is removed from the image based on the preferences provided relating to removal of the individual and surrounding elements.
