System and method for augmenting an image with stylized features

1. A method for augmenting an image, the method comprising:

identifying, in a first image, a first version of an object having a first set of graphical features;

identifying, in a second image, a second version of the object having a second set of graphical features, wherein the first and second version of the object represent a same object;

extracting the first and second sets of graphical features from the first and second images, respectively;

generating a third set of graphical features by calculating differences between the first set of graphical features of the first version of the object and the second set of graphical features of the second version of the object;

providing a graphical filter based on a stylization of a graphical view of the first image;

transforming the third set of graphical features based on the graphical filter to render a transformed third set of graphical features; and

augmenting the first version of the object in the first image based on the transformed third set of graphical features.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising causing the first image to be displayed after the augmenting of the first version of the object in the first image.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the generating of the third set of graphical features comprises generating a null third set of graphical features if the second version of the object is not included in the second image.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the augmenting of the first version of the object in the first image comprises removing the object from the first image in response to the null third set of graphical features.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining changes in at least one of a color, shape, size and texture of the object between the first version and the second version of the object based on the third set of graphical features.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the augmenting of the first version of the object in the first image comprises stylizing the object based on the determined changes in the at least one of a color, shape, size and texture of the object.

7. A system for augmenting a digital image, the system comprising:

a database configured to store a first image including a first version of an object having a first set of graphical features; and

a processor configured to:

receive a second image including a second version of the object having a second set of graphical features, wherein the first and second version of the object represent a same object,

extract the first and second sets of graphical features from the first and second images, respectively;

generate a third set of graphical features by calculating differences between the first set of graphical features of the first version of the object and the second set of graphical features of the second version of the object;

generate a graphical filter based on a stylization of a graphical view of the first image;

transform the third set of graphical features based on the graphical filter to render a transformed third set of graphical features; and

augment the first version of the object in the first image based on the transformed third set of graphical features.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the first image to be displayed after the augmenting of the first version of the object in the first image.

9. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the third set of graphical features as a null third set of graphical features if the second version of the object is not included in the second image.

10. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to augment the first version of the object in the first image by removing the object from the first image in response to the null third set of graphical features.

11. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine changes in at least one of a color, shape, size and texture of the object between the first version and the second version of the object based on the third set of graphical features.

12. The system according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to augment the first version of the object in the first image by stylizing the object based on the determined changes in the at least one of a color, shape, size and texture of the object.

13. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the second image is generated based on image data obtained by a satellite.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for augmenting an image, including instructions for:

identifying, in a first image, a first version of an object having a first set of graphical features;

identifying, in a second image, a second version of the object having a second set of graphical features, wherein the first and second version of the object represent a same object;

extracting the first and second sets of graphical features from the first and second images, respectively;

generating a third set of graphical features by calculating differences between the first set of graphical features of the first version of the object and the second set of graphical features of the second version of the object;

providing a graphical filter based on a stylization of a graphical view of the first image;

transforming the third set of graphical features based on the graphical filter to render a transformed third set of graphical features; and

augmenting the first version of the object in the first image based on the transformed third set of graphical features.
