A method for interactive image caricaturing by an electronic device is described. The method includes detecting at least one feature location of an image. The method further includes generating, based on the at least one feature location, an image mesh that comprises a grid of at least one horizontal line and at least one vertical line. The method additionally includes obtaining a gesture input. The method also includes determining at least one caricature action based on the at least one gesture input. The method further includes generating a caricature image based on the image mesh, the at least one caricature action and the image.

A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes receiving an image. The image depicts a face. The method also includes detecting at least one facial landmark of the face in the image. The method further includes receiving a depth image of the face and determining at least one landmark depth by mapping the at least one facial landmark to the depth image. The method also includes determining a plurality of scales of depth image pixels based on the at least one landmark depth and determining a scale smoothness measure for each of the plurality of scales of depth image pixels. The method additionally includes determining facial liveness based on at least two of the scale smoothness measures. Determining the facial liveness may be based on a depth-adaptive smoothness threshold and/or may be based on a natural face size criterion.

A device () for displaying panoramic images includes an image sensor (), a panoramic display module () and a display (). The display () displays an annular panorama view (). The annular view () may be an incomplete annulus for illustrating a missing view angle () from an incomplete panoramic image. The display () further includes a window () and a high resolution display portion (). The window () bounds a portion () of the annular view (). The high resolution display portion () displays a high resolution image corresponding to the portion () of the annular view (). The window () is movable around the annular view (). A size of the window () or the high resolution display portion () is adjustable. A method for generating a panoramic image is also provided.
