Digital Image Editing using a Depth-Aware System

Abstract:

Digital image editing techniques are described as implemented by a depth-aware system of a computing device. The depth-aware system employs a depth-aware grid that defines constraints for depth-aware editing of digital images involving perspective. These techniques support automated editing in which changes to directional spacing, perspective arrangement, perspective movement, object redistribution, and so on are implemented in real time, which is not possible in conventional techniques involving object distortion. As such, these techniques improve operation of the computing device that implements these techniques as well as user efficiency in interacting with the computing device to perform digital image editing that involves perspective.
