Description
Summary:Selfie photography from the hand-held camera is becoming a popular media type. Although being convenient and flexible, it suffers from low camera motion stability, small field of view, and limited background content. These limitations can annoy users, especially, when touring a place of interest and taking selfie videos. In this paper, we present a novel method to create what we call a BiggerSelfie that deals with these shortcomings. Using a video of the environment that has partial content overlap with the selfie video, we stitch plausible frames selected from the environment video to the original selfie frames and stabilize the composed video content with a portrait-preserving constraint. Using the proposed method, one can easily obtain a stable selfie video with expanded background content by merely capturing some background shots. We show various results and several evaluations to demonstrate the applicability of our method.
