Abstract

It is not always easy for amateur photographers to capture photos with desired colors even on a classic hot spot as the appearance of color photo dependent on many factors. This paper proposes a novel approach to recolor given photos via a crowdsourcing based makeover scheme. When a user input a photo to be recolored, the proposed system will first conduct favorite exemplars suggestion from the images hosted by the social media sites, by jointly lever-Aging contextual and visual information associated with the images. The recommended exemplars shall reveal the scene and context de-pendent color compositions and provide users with diverse possible color styles. Then, a novel superpixel-based recoloring scheme, in-corporating color statistics, texture characteristics and spatial con-straints into soft matching, is applied to generate new photos of de-sired color. Experiments and a user study demonstrate that the pro-posed color photo makeover is able to achieve robust recoloring results for various outdoor photos.
