🧠 Core Algorithm: Subject Detection & Extraction

The heart of the AI Group Photo Generator lies in its ability to intelligently detect and extract subjects from individual photos. Here's the core implementation:

📄 subject_extractor.py

import cv2
import numpy as np
from rembg import remove
from PIL import Image

class SubjectExtractor:
    def __init__(self):
        # Initialize face detection cascade for precise subject identification
        self.face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + 'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

    def extract_subject(self, image_path):
        """
        Extract the main subject from an image using AI-powered background removal
        and intelligent face detection for optimal composition placement.

        Args:
            image_path (str): Path to the input image

        Returns:
            tuple: (subject_image, face_coordinates, subject_mask)
        """
        # Load and preprocess the image
        original_image = Image.open(image_path)

        # Use AI model to remove background - this is the key innovation
        # The model understands human forms and preserves natural edges
        subject_with_transparency = remove(original_image)

        # Convert to OpenCV format for face detection
        cv_image = cv2.cvtColor(np.array(original_image), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
        gray = cv2.cvtColor(cv_image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

        # Detect faces to determine optimal positioning in group composition
        faces = self.face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5)

        # Calculate subject bounds for intelligent scaling and positioning
        subject_bounds = self._calculate_subject_bounds(subject_with_transparency)

        return subject_with_transparency, faces, subject_bounds

    def _calculate_subject_bounds(self, subject_image):
        """Calculate the bounding box of the extracted subject for precise positioning"""
        # Convert to numpy array and find non-transparent pixels
        img_array = np.array(subject_image)
        alpha_channel = img_array[:, :, 3]

        # Find the bounds of the actual subject (non-transparent areas)
        rows = np.any(alpha_channel > 0, axis=1)
        cols = np.any(alpha_channel > 0, axis=0)

        y_min, y_max = np.where(rows)[0][[0, -1]]
        x_min, x_max = np.where(cols)[0][[0, -1]]

        return (x_min, y_min, x_max - x_min, y_max - y_min)
                

🎨 Intelligent Composition Engine

Once subjects are extracted, the composition engine arranges them naturally using advanced positioning algorithms:

📄 composition_engine.py

class CompositionEngine:
    def create_group_composition(self, subjects, canvas_size=(1920, 1080)):
        """
        Intelligently arrange multiple subjects into a natural group photo composition.
        Uses golden ratio and visual balance principles for professional results.
        """
        # Create blank canvas with professional background
        canvas = Image.new('RGBA', canvas_size, (240, 240, 240, 255))

        # Calculate optimal positions using golden ratio and visual weight
        positions = self._calculate_optimal_positions(subjects, canvas_size)

        for subject, position in zip(subjects, positions):
            # Scale subject based on distance from camera (depth simulation)
            scaled_subject = self._apply_depth_scaling(subject, position)

            # Blend with natural lighting and shadow effects
            final_subject = self._apply_lighting_effects(scaled_subject, position)

            # Composite onto canvas with edge blending for realism
            canvas = self._blend_subject(canvas, final_subject, position)

        return canvas

    def _calculate_optimal_positions(self, subjects, canvas_size):
        """Calculate positions using compositional rules and visual balance"""
        width, height = canvas_size
        positions = []

        # Use rule of thirds and golden ratio for natural arrangement
        golden_ratio = 1.618
        num_subjects = len(subjects)

        if num_subjects == 2:
            # Two subjects: use golden ratio positioning
            pos1_x = width // golden_ratio
            pos2_x = width - (width // golden_ratio)
            positions = [(pos1_x, height * 0.3), (pos2_x, height * 0.3)]

        elif num_subjects == 3:
            # Three subjects: triangular composition for visual harmony
            center_x = width // 2
            positions = [
                (center_x, height * 0.25),  # Center front
                (center_x - width * 0.2, height * 0.4),  # Left back
                (center_x + width * 0.2, height * 0.4)   # Right back
            ]

        return positions
