Pose maker: A pose recommendation system for person in the landscape photographing

To pose like a fashion model and to take professional grade photo are always two challenging tasks, especially for novice users. Pose Maker, an innovative system for pose and photo composition recommendation and synthesis, is developed in this work. Given a user-provided clothing color and gender, this system shall not only offer some suitable poses, but also assist users to take high visual quality photos by generating the visual effect of person in the landscape pictures. To recommend poses, we first propose a view specific professional learning model to help users select several compatible poses for a given image. Based on selection results, a hierarchical pose image synthesis module is designed to synthesize the selected poses along with the scene to be captured in the most suitable position and size taking into consideration several important factors in picture composition, including aesthetic photography principles, color harmony and focal length parameters. Extensive experimental evaluations and analysis on test images of various conditions demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
