Deep-learned Models and Photography Idea Retrieval

Intelligent Portrait Composition Assistance (IPCA) Farshid Farhat, Mohammad Kamani, Sahil Mishra, James Wang ACM Multimedia 2017, Mountain View, CA, USA (Acceptance rate = 64/495 = 12.93%) ABSTRACT: Retrieving photography ideas corresponding to a given location facilitates the usage of smart cameras, where there is a high interest among amateurs and enthusiasts to take astonishing photos […]

Discovering Triangles in Portraits and Landscapes

ABSTRACT Incorporating the concept of triangles in photos is an effective composition method used by professional photographers for making pictures more interesting or dynamic. Information on the locations of the embedded triangles is valuable for comparing the composition of portrait photos, which can be further leveraged by a retrieval system or used by photographers. This […]

Detecting Dominant Vanishing Points in Natural Scenes

Abstract: Linear perspective is widely used in landscape photography to create the impression of depth on a 2D photo. Automated understanding of linear perspective in landscape photography has several real-world applications, including aesthetics assessment, image retrieval, and on-site feedback for photo composition, yet adequate automated understanding has been elusive. We address this problem by detecting […]
