Digital Image Processing

1. Abstract In this project, we propose a user-friendly image editing system, Fantasy Illustrator, in order to help people create a new work arbitrary by manipulating images from any collections user desired. In contrast with sophisticated operators Adobe Photoshop provided, our system classifies image editing operators into two critical operations: geometric based operation and tone based operation. There are five operators we implemented totally: image resizing, image cloning and image inpainting for geometric based operation; color transfer, and tone transfer for tone based operation. For an arbitrary image, user can modify it through geometric operators and tone operators, respectively. Moreover, we also provide simple and intuitive user interface with one-step operation to make user edit image to any aesthetic or mood they want easily. As the popularity of digital camera, digital images become part of our daily life. We create and interact with image all the time, and for various kind purposes. We take a picture, draw a sketch, recode and share life experience to fiends with photo, or even take digital image as the material to create artwork. It seems digital image become more and more important than before. However, modifying or enhancing digital image content is difficult for most people. Users are required to have enough background knowledge and need tedious steps to obtain the ideal result. Even though famous image editing tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Apple Aperture provide integrated tools and allow precise and flexible control over the digital image, but their sophisticated user interface is too complicated to use. Consider increasingly frequent usage of digital images, reducing the user work is critical. That inspired us to propose an intuitive and powerful image editing system to help people edit Images more easily. In this project, we propose a simple, intuitive and user-friendly image editing system, Fantasy Illustrator, which provides several useful and powerful image editing operators and allow users of all skill level to easily modify image to certain aesthetic or style they want. As shown in Figure 2-2.1 our system, Fantasy Illustrator, work with familiar but more simple GUI than Adobe Photoshop. We simplify the process of editing image content. It presents a shallow learning curve to users of all skill levels. Moreover, our editing operators work in real time. It is really useful for user to edit image interactively. 5 Figure 2-2.1: The graphical user interface of Fantasy Illustrator. There are totally …
