CS129 / Final Project / Fake Miniatures

We create fake miniatures by simulating tilt shift photography. We manually set a focus line by selecting two points, and increasingly blur the image around the focus line to simulate a depth of field effect. The variance of the Gaussian filter used on a pixel is directly proportional to the perpendicular distance between the pixel and the focus line. We also increase saturation values throughout the entire image by 50%.
