Abstract

This work addresses the Huawei Grand Challenge that seeks solutions of quality improvement and functionality extension in computational photography. We propose virtual portraitist-a new method that helps users take good selfies in angle. Dissimilar to current solutions that mostly use a post-processing step to fix a photograph, the proposed method enables a novel function of recommending a good look before the photo is captured. This is achieved by using an automatic approach for estimating the aesthetic quality score of a selfie based on angle. In particular, a set of distinctive patterns discovered from a collection of online profile pictures are combined with head pose and camera orientation to rate the quality of a selfie. Experiments validate the effectiveness of the approach.
