- Abstract summary: In portrait photographs, skin color is often distorted due to the lighting environment.
In our framework, we perform color and brightness correction around the face in the original image to achieve a proper color balance.
Unlike conventional algorithms for color correction, our final result is attained by a color correction process with a guide image.

- Abstract: This paper proposes an automatic image correction method for portrait
photographs, which promotes consistency of facial skin color by suppressing
skin color changes due to background colors. In portrait photographs, skin
color is often distorted due to the lighting environment (e.g., light reflected
from a colored background wall and over-exposure by a camera strobe), and if
the photo is artificially combined with another background color, this color
change is emphasized, resulting in an unnatural synthesized result. In our
framework, after roughly extracting the face region and rectifying the skin
color distribution in a color space, we perform color and brightness correction
around the face in the original image to achieve a proper color balance of the
facial image, which is not affected by luminance and background colors. Unlike
conventional algorithms for color correction, our final result is attained by a
color correction process with a guide image. In particular, our guided image
filtering for the color correction does not require a perfectly-aligned guide
image required in the original guide image filtering method proposed by He et
al. Experimental results show that our method generates more natural results
than conventional methods on not only headshot photographs but also natural
scene photographs. We also show automatic yearbook style photo generation as an
another application.

We propose encapsulating the generative face prior as a guided natural manifold to facilitate the correction of facial regions.
A notable central symmetry relationship exists in the non-face background, yet it has not been explored in the correction process.
This geometry prior motivates us to introduce a novel constraint to explicitly enforce symmetry throughout the correction process.

Intrinsic image decomposition aims to separate the surface reflectance and the effects from the illumination given a single photograph.
In this work, we separate an input image into its diffuse albedo, colorful diffuse shading, and specular residual components.
Our extended intrinsic model enables illumination-aware analysis of photographs and can be used for image editing applications.

Images captured under sub-optimal illumination conditions may contain both over- and under-exposures.
Current approaches mainly focus on adjusting image brightness, which may exacerbate the color tone distortion in under-exposed areas.
We propose a novel method to enhance images with both over- and under-exposures by learning to estimate and correct such color shifts.

This paper introduces the first approach to reconstruct high-resolution, high-dynamic range color images from raw photographic bursts captured by a handheld camera with exposure bracketing.
The proposed algorithm is fast, with low memory requirements compared to state-of-the-art learning-based approaches to image restoration.

We present a novel two-stage approach to solve the dilemma, where the task of face pose manipulation is cast into face inpainting.
By selectively sampling pixels from the input face and slightly adjust their relative locations, the face editing result faithfully keeps the identity information as well as the image style unchanged.
With the 3D facial landmarks as guidance, our method is able to manipulate face pose in three degrees of freedom, i.e., yaw, pitch, and roll, resulting in more flexible face pose editing.
