Application of Filters Requiring Face Detection in Picture Editor
An electronic device and method of operation, the electronic device including at least one processor communicatively coupled to a display and memory, the processor configured for filtering a facial image rendered on the display. In an illustrative embodiment, the at least one processor is configured to generate a boundary around the facial image, the boundary having 2-dimensional x and y coordinates relative to boundaries of the display; store the coordinates in memory; in response to at least one of a cropping and moving of the image, recalculate the coordinates to match a new transform setting; and apply an effect to the facial image based on the updated coordinates.
1 . A method of filtering a facial image rendered on a display of an electronic device, comprising the steps of:
generating a boundary around the facial image, the boundary having 2-dimensional x and y coordinates relative to boundaries of the display;
storing the coordinates in memory;
in response to at least one of a cropping and moving of the image, recalculating the coordinates to match a new transform setting; and
applying an effect to the facial image based on the updated coordinates.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:
determining if the updated coordinates are disposed within a boundary of the original image; and
disabling the effect if the updated coordinates are disposed outside of the boundary.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of retrieving the updated coordinates from memory and rendering a new image having the effect applied thereto.
4 . An electronic device, comprising
at least one processor communicatively coupled to a display and memory, the processor configured for filtering a facial image rendered on the display by:
generating a boundary around the facial image, the boundary having 2-dimensional x and y coordinates relative to boundaries of the display;
storing the coordinates in memory;
in response to at least one of a cropping and moving of the image, recalculating the coordinates to match a new transform setting; and
applying an effect to the facial image based on the updated coordinates.
5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , further comprising the processor configured to:
determine if the updated coordinates are disposed within a boundary of the original image; and
disable the effect if the updated coordinates are disposed outside of the boundary.
6 . The electronic device of claim 4 , further comprising the processor configured to render a new image having the effect applied thereto.
