Abstract
Embodiments use the content of photographic images to stylize geographic features in the photographic images. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method stylizes geographic features in a photographic image. In the method, a plurality of pixel regions in the photographic image are identified. For respective pixel regions, a plurality of attributes of image content within the pixel region of the photographic image are identified using the image content, and a geographic content type of the pixel region is determined using a classifier trained to recognize the geographic content type based on the plurality of attributes. Finally, at least one of the plurality of pixel regions of the photographic image are altered based on the respective determined geographic content type to stylize a geographic feature illustrated in the photographic image.
