Abstract
The disclosure provides an approach for transferring image edits from a source image to target images. In one embodiment, a warp application receives a user-selected region of interest in a source image and determines for the region of interest content-aware bounded weight functions and seed locations for the same. For each of the target images, the warping application initializes a linear blend skinning subspace warp to a projection onto a feature space of a piecewise affine map from scale invariant feature transform features of the source image to the target image. After initializing the warps, the warping application iteratively optimizes the warps by applying the inverse compositional Lucas-Kanade procedure and using the content-aware weight functions in said procedure. Edits made to the source image may automatically be transferred to target images by warping those edits via the optimized warp function for the respective target images.
