Abstract
Automatic scaling of image objects being moved or copied to a target object location is presented. An original image and its depth map are received within which the user selects an original object and a target location for the object to be moved or copied. A center of scaling is found and a base location selected at which depth value is to be obtained at the target location for use in scaling. Target object is then scaled in response to a ratio between original object depth and target object depth. An occlusion check is made, after which non-occluded pixels are pasted to the target location to complete the move/copy which is in proper proportion and accounts for surrounding structures.
