IMAGE MASKS FOR FACE-RELATED SELECTION AND PROCESSING IN IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying one or more face regions of an image, the one or more face regions including pixels that depict at least a portion of one or more corresponding faces of one or more persons, wherein identifying the one or more face regions is based on identifications of facial landmarks of the one or more faces;
determining an associated face mask for each of the one or more faces based on the one or more face regions, wherein each face mask indicates which pixels in the image depict the corresponding face;
selecting the pixels of the image outside the one or more faces by inversely applying the one or more face masks; and
providing the selected pixels to a processing operation for adjustment of the selected pixels.

Abstract
In some implementations, a method includes identifying one or more face regions of an image, the face regions including pixels that depict at least a portion of one or more faces of persons. The face regions are identified based on identifying facial landmarks of the faces. The method determines an associated face mask for each of the faces based on the face regions, where each face mask indicates which pixels in the image depict the corresponding face. Face pixels can be selected for processing by applying the face masks, and image pixels outside the faces can be selected by inversely applying the face masks. The selected pixels can be provided to a processing operation for adjustment of the selected pixels.

9. A method comprising:
-
identifying a face region within an image, the face region including pixels that depict at least a portion of a face of a person; selecting a plurality of pixels within the face region that are within a predetermined range of colors known to be skin colors; determining a characteristic skin color for the selected pixels in the face region; and determining a face mask for the image, the face mask indicating which pixels in the image are skin pixels depicting the person'"'"'s skin based on a color threshold similarity to the characteristic skin color. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
