Abstract
Various aspects of an apparatus and a method to generate a shadow of an object embedded in a target image are disclosed herein. The method includes generation of an object mask of the embedded object in the target image. The object mask is categorized into a first category or a second category based on a pre-determined set of rules. Based on the categorization, a shadow of the object in the target image is generated. The generation of the shadow comprises dilating the categorized object mask by a predetermined multiplication factor when the categorized object mask corresponds to the first category. The generation of the shadow further comprises determination of depth information of the categorized object mask at a pre-determined height when the categorized object mask corresponds to the second category.
