Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes identifying an emotion associated with an identified first object in one or more input images, selecting, based on the emotion, a mask from a set of masks, where the mask specifies one or more mask effects, and for each of the input images, applying the mask to the input image. Applying the mask includes generating graphical features based on the identified first object or a second object in the input images according to instructions specified by the mask effects, and incorporating the graphical features into an output image. The emotion may be identified based on graphical features of the identified first object. The graphical features of the identified object may include facial features. The selected mask may be selected from a lookup table that maps the identified emotion to the selected mask.
