Distortion of digital images using spatial offsets from image reference points
First Claim
1. A method for applying enhancements to a digital image, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a graphical user interface to display a preview of an image to a user;
receiving a selection of an image reference point from the user;
overlaying a graphical mark over the image for the image reference point;
determining coordinates for each pixel in a plurality of pixels in the image that are associated with the image reference point;
receiving parameters for one or more than one image modification functions; and
selectively modifying the plurality of pixels with the one or more than one image modification functions based on the coordinates of each of the plurality of pixels.

Abstract
A method for distorting a digital image comprising receiving the coordinates of one or more than one image reference point defined by a user within the digital image, receiving one or more than one spatial offset assigned by the user and associated with the coordinates of the one or more than one defined image reference point, providing a mixing function algorithm embodied on a computer-readable medium for distorting the digital image, calculating an offset matrix by applying the mixing function algorithm based on the one or more than one spatial offset and the coordinates of the one or more than one defined image reference point; and distorting the digital image by application of the offset matrix. A graphic tag may be associated with each of the defined image reference points and displayed over the digital image, and the assignment of the spatial offset may be accomplished by movement of the graphic tag with the pointing device. Abstract image reference points may be used to limit distortion.

12. A system comprising:
-
a display; a non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions stored thereon; and a hardware processor coupled to the display and the non-transitory machine readable medium, wherein the instructions, when operated upon by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to; provide a graphical user interface to display a preview of an image to a user; receive a selection of an image reference point; overlay a graphical mark over the image for the image reference point; determine coordinates for each pixel in a plurality of pixels in the image that are associated with the image reference point, wherein each pixel in the plurality of pixels is associated with an effect strength that is calculated as a function of a corresponding pixel location in relation to an initial pixel location of the image reference point; receive parameters for one or more than one image modification function; and selectively modify the plurality of pixels with the one or more than one image modification functions based on the effect strength for each pixel in the plurality of pixels. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program that is executable by at least one processor, the computer program including instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
providing a graphical user interface to display an image to a user; receiving a selection of an image reference point from the user; overlaying a graphical mark over the image for the image reference point; determining coordinates for each pixel in a plurality of pixels in the image that are associated with the image reference point; receiving parameters for one or more than one image modification functions; and selectively modifying the plurality of pixels with the one or more than one image modification functions based on the coordinates of each of the plurality of pixels. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
