The System Development of the
Cyber Photographer Project
Abstract:The Cyber Photographer is a robot that takes pictures according to the compositional
information extracted from masterpieces. My purpose during my coop stay was to
develop modules to handle a number of image processing procedures, and in to increase
the speed and accuracy of these modules. The Peer-Group Filter was developed to
remove random noise, and sudden discontinuality from the image. Colour Image
Segmentation was developed so that the subject and the background from a given image
could be separated and given to the Attractive Region Extraction algorithm. Rotationally
Variant Fourier Descriptors, and Moment Fourier Descriptors were developed for the
shape-matching portion of the Cyber Photographer's software, so that the correct
compositional information for a given subject could be accurately selected from the
predefined Compositional Information Database. Of the developed modules a number
were rejected; others modified and enhanced to suit the needs of the Cyber Photographer.
