Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are described herein for removing people distractors from images. A distractor mitigation solution implemented in one or more computing devices detects people in an image and identifies salient regions in the image. The solution then determines a saliency cue for each person and classifies each person as wanted or as an unwanted distractor based at least on the saliency cue. An unwanted person is then removed from the image or otherwise reduced from the perspective of being an unwanted distraction.
