Abstract:
1. A method comprising: accessing a static digital image which represents a static two-dimensional photograph; identifying, by a processor, a plurality of separate focus areas in the static digital image based on confidence values established for identifying a face; automatically determining, by the processor, based on relative locations of the plurality of separate focus areas in the static digital image, a motion pattern, the motion pattern including a trajectory from a first one of the focus areas to a second one of the focus areas and a duration; based on the trajectory from the first focus area to the second focus area and the duration, generating, by the processor, dynamic photo motion clip that includes a sequence of sub-photographs of a series of portions the static digital image taken along the trajectory from the first focus area to the second focus area; and generating output data, based on at least said dynamic photo motion clip, by resizing the sub-photographs to be played as a continuous sequence of video frames.
