Facial creation: using compositing to conceal identity
… study focused on the creation of new faces by compositing features from donor face photographs together that provide a way to generate new face identities. However, does the act of compositing conceal the identity of the donor faces? Two applications of these created faces require donor face …

Graphical Methods for Image Compositing and Completion
… problems in the literature of image and video compositing, and scene completion. For a visually plausible compositing, it is first required to separate the object to be composed from the background it was initially captured against, a problem that is known as natural image matting. It aims, …

Layer Extraction and Image Compositing using a Moving-aperture Lens
… images continues to be a difficult task. Image compositing is the process of superimposing two or more image layers to create a new image which often appears real, although it was made from one or more images. This technique is commonly used to create special visual effects in movies, videos and …

Post-processed shadow determination for composition of depth images
… algorithms and to create better ones, but the compositing method has received little attention. The compositing method breaks a scene up into parts which can be rendered separately which are then put together in such away that the result is nearly indistinguishable from an image rendered from …

Determining the Optimum Number of Increments in Composite Sampling
… accounts for different sources of variation in compositing and data analysis. This model is used to define and understand the process of determining the optimum number of increments that should be used in forming a composite. The blending variance is shown to have a smaller range of possible …
