Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for placing a personalized text into an image to generate a natural text-rendered image comprising: determining a location and region within the image where the personalized text is to be placed; estimating a 3D geometry of a planar surface proximate to the location and region where the personalized text is to be placed; receiving a personalized text string; incorporating the personalized text string into the image to appear as if it is rendered onto the planar surface according to the estimated 3D geometry; and outputting the natural text-rendered image; wherein estimating the 3D geometry comprises: wherein incorporating the personalized text string into the image comprises rendering the personalized text string into the determined location and region within the image using a text mask, wherein the text mask is used to modulate one or more of texture, luminance, chrominance, and transparency of the image; and wherein texture modulation comprises:
