ABSTRACT:
Synthesis of novel images from example images is achieved by interpolating among example images based on user selection of parameter values in a hierarchy of networks referred to as parent networks and child networks. Child networks describe distinct physical characteristics of the image, such as thickness of eyebrows. Parent networks describe more general or abstract characteristics related to the image, such as emotional states expressed by the image.
