Abstract
A method generates a stylized image. First, a set of images is acquired of a scene. Each image is acquired under a different lighting condition. Silhouette edges are detected in the set of images. Texture regions are identified in the set of images according to the silhouette edges, and an output image is generated from a combination of the set of images wherein the silhouette edges and the texture regions are altered so as to enhance or de-emphasize selected details.
