Assignment

1. Tattoos

Use Seamless Cloning to apply this Tattoo to a face or an arm. Would you use

NORMAL_CLONE or MIXED_CLONE ?

You can make an interactive interface using Highgui that implements

the following steps

1. Display the input image of the face or the arm.

2. Specify a rectangle: Create an interface that allows you to

specify a rectangular region by clicking and dragging the

mouse cursor over the image. To implement this you will need

to work with mouse events in Highgui.

3. Clone butterfly: Clone the butterfly inside the rectangular

Region. You will need to resize the butterfly image based on the

Size of the rectangle.

Here is the link to the butterfly image

I started with the code of assignment 1-2, I made the alpha Blend on paste.

This image shows the result.

The assignment asks for Seamless Cloning. I used both flags NORMAL_CLONE and MIXED_CLONE, and this way I can compare the results

Here is an image with the flag NORMAL_CLONE, you can see the blurred region around the butterfly tattoo.

Next is the summary of the results:

 

The MIXED_CLONE, sometimes produce some artifacts.

The alpha-blend is more precise, but it needs an alpha channel, I made the alpha channel from the image to be pasted but something strange happens sometimes, look at the Hello Kitty on the Hillary’s face the color is faded.

2. Pinocchio’s Nose [ Advanced ]

Use the MLS + Head Pose Estimation to create an elongated Pinocchio’s nose. It should work

Properly for images and videos of faces. Here is an example output .

Note : We have not tried it ourselves, but this could be fun.

I got a small Pinocchio’s nose, on several images, using MLS, the face is deformed with the nose. Right now I am not able to think how to use the MLS together with the Head Pose Estimation to get a bigger nose. keep thinking.
