ABSTRACT:
A method for creating a caricature image from a digital image is provided. The method initiates with capturing digital image data. The method includes locating a facial region within the captured image data. Then, a facial feature template matching a facial feature of the facial region is selected. Next, the facial feature template is substituted for the facial feature. Then, the facial feature template is transformed into a caricature or non-realistic image. A computer readable medium, an image capture device capable of creating a caricature from a captured image and an integrated circuit are also provided.
