PicMe is a mobile application that provides interactive on-screen guidance that helps the user take pictures of a composition that another person requires. Once the requester captures a picture of the desired composition and delivers it to the user (photographer), a 2.5D guidance system, called the virtual frame, guides the user in real-time by showing a three-dimensional composition of the target image (i.e., size and shape). In addition, according to the matching accuracy rate, we provide a…

Aesthetic Evaluation and Guidance for Mobile Photography
TLDR
This is the first system that can teach mobile users to shoot good photos in the form of aesthetic dashboard, through which, users can adjust several aesthetic attributes to take good photos easily.
Adaptive Photographic Composition Guidance
TLDR
A saliency-based algorithm for selecting relevant lines from the harmonic armature is described and an evaluation of the system shows that photographers found the proposed adaptive armatures helpful for capturing more well-composed images.
Advances in Computer Graphics: 37th Computer Graphics International Conference, CGI 2020, Geneva, Switzerland, October 20–23, 2020, Proceedings
TLDR
The results indicate that the perceived quality of the immersive VR system is indistinguishable from the physical counterpart regarding User Experience, usability, and cybersickness, and the users’ performance on VR simulation was significantly slower in immersive VR.
A Multi‐Person Selfie System via Augmented Reality
TLDR
It can be shown that the proposed technique helps avoiding the common distortion drawback of using a selfie stick, and facilitates the composition process of a group photo, and can be used to create some special effects, including creating an illusion of having multiple appearances of a person.
An Approach of Short Advertising Video Generation Using Mobile Phone Assisted by Robotic Arm
TLDR
This paper analyzed the professional composition and imaging of advertising videos, and transformed them into an automatic shooting process during the production of Short Advertising Video, assisted by a robotic arm, and showed that robotic arm assist solution can highly enhance the efficiency and effect of making Short Advertising video.

A framework for photo-quality assessment and enhancement based on visual aesthetics
TLDR
An interactive application that enables users to improve the visual aesthetics of their digital photographs using spatial recomposition and allows user-guided object segmentation and inpainting to ensure that the final photograph matches the user's criteria.
Real-time Guidance Camera Interface to Enhance Photo Aesthetic Quality
TLDR
A three-camera array is developed that provides real-time feedback on how to position the subject-of-interest according to a photography composition rule: rule- of-thirds, and the aesthetic quality of photos taken with this interface are compared against a static gridline interface common to existing digital cameras.
LightGuide: projected visualizations for hand movement guidance
TLDR
This work presents four novel interaction techniques that are focused on guiding a user's hand in mid-air and quantifies the performance of LightGuide in a user study comparing each of the on-body visualizations to hand animation videos on a computer display in both time and accuracy.
A Photographic Composition Assistant for Intelligent Virtual 3D Camera Systems
TLDR
A human photographer can frame an image and enhance its composition by visualizing how elements in the frame could be better sized or positioned, and an intelligent virtual photographer can apply a similar process.
The drawing assistant: automated drawing guidance and feedback from photographs
TLDR
An interactive drawing tool that provides automated guidance over model photographs to help people practice traditional drawing-by-observation techniques and user studies show that automatically extracted construction lines can help users draw more accurately.
Task support system by displaying instructional video onto AR workspace
TLDR
An instructional support system based on augmented reality (AR) helps a user to work intuitively by overlaying visual information in the same way of a navigation system and it is found that a user's visibility improves when the instructional video is transformed to display according to his/her view.
PapARt: Interactive 3D graphics and multi-touch augmented paper for artistic creation
TLDR
A system that allow users to visualize, manipulate and edit a 3D scene projected onto a paper sheet, which combines computer-assisted drawing and free form user expressiveness on a standard sheet of paper, opens new perspectives for enhancing user creation.
Projector-guided painting
TLDR
A novel interactive system for guiding artists to paint using traditional media and tools capable of controlling the appearance of an artist's canvas and the results from a user study are presented which quantify the benefit that the system can provide to a novice painter.
Image space: capturing, sharing and contextualizing personal pictures in a simple and playful way
TLDR
The design, implementation and evaluation of the Image Space service is presented, which enables users to capture, browse and contextualize their digital photographs with the aid of a community of other users in a simple and playful way.
Supporting blind photography
TLDR
The results of a large survey are presented that shows how blind people are currently using cameras and EasySnap, an application that provides audio feedback to help blind people take pictures of objects and people and shows that blind photographers take better photographs with this feedback.
