20140341482 | GENERATING COMPOSITIONS - Implementations generally relate to generating compositional media content. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of photos from a user, and determining one or more composition types from the photos. The method also includes generating compositions from the selected photos based on the one or more determined composition types. The method also includes providing the one or more generated compositions to the user. | 11-20-2014 |
20150317540 | Providing Image Search Templates - Techniques for providing image search templates are provided. An image search template may be associated with an image search query to aid the user in capturing an image that will be appropriate for processing the search query. The template may be displayed as an overlay during an image capturing process to indicate an appropriate image capturing pose, range, angle, or other view characteristics that may provide more accurate search results. The template may also be used in the image search query to segment the image and identify features relevant to the search query. Images in an image database may be clustered using characteristics of the images or metadata associated with the images in order to establish groups of images from which templates may be derived. The generated templates may be provided to users to assist in capturing images to be used as search engine queries. | 11-05-2015 |

20140119664 | IMAGE DENOISING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying a first portion of a facial image in a first image, wherein the first portion includes noise. A corresponding portion of the facial image is identified in a second image, wherein the corresponding portion includes less noise than the first portion. One or more filter parameters of the first portion are determined based upon, at least in part, the first portion and the corresponding portion. At least a portion of the noise from the first portion is smoothed based upon, at least in part, the one or more filter parameters. At least a portion of face specific details from the corresponding portion is added to the first portion. | 05-01-2014 |
