  • Patent number: 9582860
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to enhancing a video. In some implementations, a method includes classifying one or more objects in one or more frames of the video. The method further includes determining one or more filter parameters of one or more filters based on the classifying of the one or more objects. The method further includes smoothing one or more of the determined filter parameters based on the classifying of the one or more objects. The method further includes applying one or more of the filters with corresponding smoothed filter parameters to one or more frames of the video.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9256950
    Abstract: Implementations relate to detecting and modifying facial features of persons in images. In some implementations, a method includes receiving one or more general color models of color distribution for a facial feature of persons depicted in training images. The method obtains an input image, and determines a feature mask associated with the facial feature for one or more faces in the input image. Determining the mask includes estimating one or more local color models for each of the faces in the input image based on the general color models, and iteratively refining the estimated local color models based on the general color models. The refined local color models are used in the determination of the feature mask. The method applies a modification to the facial feature of faces in the input image using the feature mask.

  • Patent number: 9251567
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to color corrections to photos. In some implementations, a method includes determining a face profile from a plurality of photos of a face. The method further includes receiving a target photo of the face. The method further includes matching the face in the target photo with the face in the plurality of photos. The method further includes performing one or more color adjustments to the face in the target photo based on the face profile.
