ABSTRACT:
Input image data define an input image set that shows a graphical feature and editing marks indicating an editing operation to be performed on the graphical feature. The input image data are used to obtain operation category data indicating whether the editing operation would translate the graphical feature so that it is centered at a different position within the input image set. The operation category data are used to obtain output image data defining an output image that includes an edited version of the input image set. The output image shows the graphical feature centered at a different position only if the operation category data so indicate. The input image set can include an original image showing the graphical feature and an overlay image showing the editing marks. The editing marks can form a node-link structure with the graphical feature. If the structure is a directed graph, it can indicate an editing operation that would translate the graphical feature to be centered at a different position, such as a simple translation to a new position, a translation with scaling or rotation, or a replacement operation. If the structure is an undirected graph, it can indicate an editing operation that would not translate the graphical feature, such as a delete operation or a scale or rotate operation. A rectangle with a dot inside it can indicate scaling or rotation. A cross can indicate deletion.
