Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products provide near real-time feedback to a user of a camera-enabled device to guide the user to capture self-imagery when the user is in a desired position with respect the camera and/or the display of the device. The desired position optimizes aspects of self-imagery that is captured for applications in which the imagery is not primarily intended for the user's consumption. One class of such applications includes applications that rely on illuminating the user's face with light from the device's display screen. The feedback is abstracted to avoid biasing the user with aesthetic considerations. The abstracted imagery may include real-time cartoon-like line drawings of edges detected in imagery of the user's head or face.
