Visual cubism

“Selfie” capturing is one of the most popular functions used by smart phone users. Those selfies are usually uploaded and exchanged on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. We introduce an automatic cubic facial make-up method by using simple image processing techniques including resizing, Gaussian smoothing and face detection. The proposed algorithm is designed to run in a real-time application at Android smart phone and no human interactions are required. The experimental results outperform conventional image editing tools and seamless object boundaries are observed.
