Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: selecting a feature from a reference image to include in a target image; detecting a set of feature points associated with the selected feature in each of the target image and the reference image; associating a first three-dimensional model with the target image based on the set of feature points detected in the target image, the first three-dimensional model including feature points that correspond to the set of feature points detected in the target image; associating a second three-dimensional model with the reference image based on the set of feature points detected in the reference image, the second three-dimensional model including feature points that correspond to the set of feature points detected in the reference image; determining a difference in spatial alignment between the feature points of the first three-dimensional model and the second three-dimensional model; warping the target image to accommodate the selected feature from the reference image based, at least in part, on the determined difference in spatial alignment between the feature points of the first three-dimensional model and the second three-dimensional model; warping the reference image to match an orientation of the target image based, at least in part, on the determined difference in spatial alignment between the feature points of the first three-dimensional model and the second three-dimensional model; and responsive to warping the target image and warping the reference image, copying the selected feature from the reference image to the target image.
