Easy real object insertion tool for composite photographs

Published: 14 December 2009 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we present a tool for easily creating natural composite photographs with just a few mouse clicks. The proposed tool works with three simple steps: 1) draw a bounding box around reference object of background photograph for object height estimation; 2) draw a trimap on the object photograph with mouse drag; 3) move a mouse in location to place an object. We present automatic algorithm for object height estimation in single image and matting technique for extracting object in detail. Experimental results show that our results are created easily and naturally using our tool.
