Patent Images
1. A method for interactive image caricaturing by an electronic device, comprising:
- detecting at least one feature location of an image;
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, wherein at least one vertex of the image mesh corresponds to a feature location of a facial component in the image;
obtaining at least one gesture input;
determining at least one caricature action based on the at least one gesture input, wherein the caricature action provides a pixel map that maps an image vertex pixel of the at least one vertex to a corresponding caricature image vertex pixel; and
generating a caricature image based on the image mesh, the at least one caricature action and the image.
