Abstract: An exemplary method includes receiving an image data set that comprises a multidimensional property space and data classifiable into data classes, determining a projection vector for data of the data set wherein the projection vector maximizes a ratio of between-class scatter to within-class scatter, selecting a reference for the vector, projecting at least some of the data onto the vector, measuring distances from the reference to at least some of the data, classifying at least some of the data into data classes based on a nesting analysis of the distances, eliminating the classified data from the image data set to produce a modified image data set and deciding whether to determine another projection vector for the modified image data set. Various other exemplary methods, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed.

Abstract: Properties of pixels in a digital image are sampled within different subdivisions of an editing tool impression to produce different property distributions. The different subdivisions can automatically alter their size, geometry, and/or location, based on image content within one or more of the subdivisions, in order to encompass a set of pixels having a substantially uniform distribution of a pixel property. Uniformity can be defined relative to the editing operation or context of the image. The property distributions from each region are classified to identify different edit classes within the property space, which are then used to apply an edit effect to the digital image within the tool impression. The edit classes may be represented by an edit profile in two or more dimensions.
