Normalizing detected objects
Displaying a normalized object is disclosed. Displaying includes receiving an object that has been automatically detected from an image, normalizing the object, and displaying the normalized object. Normalizing may include performing a color transformation.
1. A method, including:
receiving an object, including a face, that has been automatically detected from an image;
normalizing the object to obtain a normalized object, wherein normalizing is performed by a processor and includes automatically resizing the object to a standard predefined size and performing a color transformation on the object by adjusting color characteristics associated with the object based at least in part on predefined color criteria;
displaying the normalized object;
receiving an assignment of a tag to the normalized object;
displaying in a graphical user interface a first control associated with displaying all normalized objects, a second control associated with displaying all normalized objects which do not have a tag assigned to it, and a third control associated with displaying all normalized objects which have a specified tag assigned to it; and
in response to receiving a selection of the first control, the second control, or the third control:
displaying, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects in the event the first control is selected;
displaying, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects which do not have a tag assigned to it in the event the second control is selected; and
displaying, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects which have a specified tag assigned to it in the event the third control is selected.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the object is associated with at least one of the following: (1) a location in the image or (2) a probability that the image includes a detection object.
3. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tag includes at least one of the following: (1) tag data that is user specified or (2) a name.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein receiving an assignment of a tag to the normalized object is based at least in part on user input.
5. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tag includes a name resulting from an object identification process.
6. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein normalizing further includes rotating the object.
7. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes adjusting lighting.
8. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes adjusting coloring.
9. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes adjusting sharpness.
10. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes reducing red eye.
11. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein normalizing further includes using data generated by a detection process.
12. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in non-transitory a computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving an object, including a face, that has been automatically detected from an image;
normalizing the object to obtain a normalized object, wherein normalizing includes automatically resizing the object to a standard predefined size and performing a color transformation on the object by adjusting color characteristics associated with the object based at least in part on predefined color criteria;
displaying the normalized object;
receiving an assignment of a tag to the normalized object;
displaying in a graphical user interface a first control associated with displaying all normalized objects, a second control associated with displaying all normalized objects which do not have a tag assigned to it, and a third control associated with displaying all normalized objects which have a specified tag assigned to it; and
in response to receiving a selection of the first control, the second control, or the third control:
displaying, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects in the event the first control is selected;
displaying, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects which do not have a tag assigned to it in the event the second control is selected; and
displaying, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects which have a specified tag assigned to it in the event the third control is selected.
13. A computer program product as recited in claim 12 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes adjusting lighting.
14. A computer program product as recited in claim 12 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes adjusting coloring.
15. A computer program product as recited in claim 12 , wherein performing a color transformation further includes adjusting sharpness.
16. A system, including:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:
receiving an object, including a face, that has been automatically detected from an image;
normalizing the object to obtain a normalized object, wherein normalizing is performed by a processor and includes automatically resizing the object to a standard predefined size and performing a color transformation on the object by adjusting color characteristics associated with the object based at least in part on predefined color criteria;
display the normalized object;
receive an assignment of a tag to the normalized object;
display in a graphical user interface a first control associated with displaying all normalized objects, a second control associated with displaying all normalized objects which do not have a tag assigned to it, and a third control associated with displaying all normalized objects which have a specified tag assigned to it; and
in response to receiving a selection of the first control, the second control, or the third control:
display, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects in the event the first control is selected;
display, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects which do not have a tag assigned to it in the event the second control is selected; and
display, in the graphical user interface, all normalized objects which have a specified tag assigned to it in the event the third control is selected.
17. A system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with an instruction which when executed causes the processor to perform a color transformation further including by adjusting lighting.
18. A system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with an instruction which when executed causes the processor to perform a color transformation further including by adjusting coloring.
19. A system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with an instruction which when executed causes the processor to perform a color transformation further including by adjusting sharpness.
