Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes a computer machine reviewing a picture image and an associated video with the associated video including several video frames. The computer machine then statistically analyzes the corresponding areas for each video frame. The computer machine then compares an area in the picture image with an associated area in a video frame image, wherein the video frame image is based in part on the statistical analysis of the corresponding area for each video frame. Next, the computer machine creates an area for a composite image based in part on the comparison of the area in the picture image with the associated area in the video frame image.

Claims (41)

1. A method comprising:

by a computer machine, accessing a picture image and an associated video, wherein the associated video comprises a plurality of video frames;

by the computer machine, identifying an object in the picture image;

by the computer machine, detecting a motion of the object by performing a first type of statistical analysis on the video frames comprising the object;

by the computer machine, creating an intermediate frame comprising a first motion blur effect of the object, wherein the first motion blur effect represents the detected motion;

by the computer machine, receiving user input for adjusting the first motion blur effect;

by the computer machine, in response to receiving the user input, performing a second type of statistical analysis on the video frames comprising the object to generate a second motion blur effect to represent the detected motion, wherein the first type of statistical analysis is different than the second type of statistical analysis; and

by the computer machine, creating a composite image comprising the object and the second motion blur effect of the object.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying an object comprises comparing a brightness of an area in the picture image with a brightness of a corresponding area in a video frame of the plurality of video frames.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the picture image was captured using flash lighting.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying an object comprises applying a facial recognition process.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting a motion of the object by analyzing the video frames comprises averaging digital color values of corresponding areas for each video frame.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a brightness of the object in the composite image is modified.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, by the computer machine, providing a visual display to a client device, wherein the visual display comprises a visual representation of the composite image and an action request comprising uploading content to a social networking system.

8. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

access a picture image and an associated video, wherein the associated video comprises a plurality of video frames;

identify an object in the picture image;

detect a motion of the object by performing a first type of statistical analysis on the video frames comprising the object;

create an intermediate frame comprising a first motion blur effect of the object, wherein the first motion blur effect represents the detected motion;

receive user input for adjusting the first motion blur effect;

perform, in response to receiving the user input, a second type of statistical analysis on the video frames comprising the object to generate a second motion blur effect to represent the detected motion, wherein the first type of statistical analysis is different than the second type of statistical analysis; and

create a composite image comprising the object and the second motion blur effect of the object.

9. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 8 , wherein the identifying an object comprises comparing a brightness of an area in the picture image with a brightness of a corresponding area in a video frame of the plurality of video frames.

10. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 9 , wherein the picture image was captured using flash lighting.

11. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 8 , wherein the identifying an object comprises applying a facial recognition process.

12. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 8 , wherein the detecting a motion of the object by analyzing the video frames comprises averaging digital color values of corresponding areas for each video frame.

13. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 8 , wherein a brightness of the object in the composite image is modified.

14. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 8 , wherein software is further operable when executed to provide a visual display to a client device, wherein the visual display comprises a visual representation of the composite image and an action request comprising uploading content to a social networking system.

15. A system comprising: one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:

access a picture image and an associated video, wherein the associated video comprises a plurality of video frames;

identify an object in the picture image;

detect a motion of the object by performing a first type of statistical analysis on the video frames comprising the object;

create an intermediate frame comprising a first motion blur effect of the object, wherein the first motion blur effect represents the detected motion;

receive user input for adjusting the first motion blur effect;

perform, in response to receiving the user input, a second type of statistical analysis on the video frames comprising the object to generate a second motion blur effect to represent the detected motion, wherein the first type of statistical analysis is different than the second type of statistical analysis; and

create a composite image comprising the object and the second motion blur effect of the object.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the identifying an object comprises comparing a brightness of an area in the picture image with a brightness of a corresponding area in a video frame of the plurality of video frames.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the picture image was captured using flash lighting.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the identifying an object comprises applying a facial recognition process.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the detecting a motion of the object by analyzing the video frames comprises averaging digital color values of corresponding areas for each video frame.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein a brightness of the object in the composite image is modified.
