Publication number: 20150365591Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method implemented by a computing device is disclosed. Images from a sequence of images that depicts a scene are displayed on an electronic display. User input is received that selects an image from the sequence to be used as a base image. User input is also received that selects an object from the sequence of images. A movement trajectory of the selected object is determined from the sequence of images. The selected object is repositioned based on user input that drags the selected object along the determined movement trajectory from an initial position to a new position. A new image is created by combining the base image and the repositioned object.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Pär-Anders Aronsson, Håkan Jonsson, Lars Nord, Ola Thörn
