  • Patent number: 10769828
    Abstract: In an embodiment, an automated process for generating photo collages including an individual photo of each member of a group, team, etc. with head shots of some or all members is provided. Various members or photographers may take digital photos of each member, capturing a full or partial body photo. The process may use face detection techniques to identify the faces in the body photos, and to automatically crop the head shots from the full body photos. The head shots may be cropped in a consistent manner, leading to a visually pleasing set of head shots in the collage. The effort required of the individuals tasked with producing the collages may be substantially reduced, in some embodiments. Additionally, the quality of the resulting collages may be improved, in some embodiments.
