Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically correcting apparent distortions in close range photographs that are captured using an imaging system capable of capturing images and depth maps are disclosed. In many embodiments, faces are automatically detected and segmented from images using a depth-assisted alpha matting. The detected faces can then be re-rendered from a more distant viewpoint and composited with the background to create a new image in which apparent perspective distortion is reduced.
