Apparatus and methods related to image processing are provided. A computing device can determine a first image area of an image, such as an image captured by a camera. The computing device can determine a warping mesh for the image with a first portion of the warping mesh associated with the first image area. The computing device can determine a cost function for the warping mesh by: determining first costs associated with the first portion of the warping mesh that include costs associated with face-related transformations of the first image area to correct geometric distortions. The computing device can determine an optimized mesh based on optimizing the cost function. The computing device can modify the first image area based on the optimized mesh.

Real time perspective correction on faces

A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a first portion of a facial image in a first image, wherein the first portion includes noise. A corresponding portion of the facial image is identified in a second image, wherein the corresponding portion includes less noise than the first portion. One or more filter parameters of the first portion are determined based upon, at least in part, the first portion and the corresponding portion. At least a portion of the noise from the first portion is smoothed based upon, at least in part, the one or more filter parameters. At least a portion of face specific details from the corresponding portion is added to the first portion.
