Making like Mona Lisa

A new feature of the popular photo editing app from Meitu Inc, ArtBot allows you to turn your selfie shots into paintings like Picasso and Van Gogh.
The editing app has s become something of an instant hit, with MeTiu reporting that it’s now generating more than 6 billion photos per month globally. 
Now, Meitu expands its expertise to Artificial Intelligence and has created its first ever AI painting robot – Andy, the ArtBot.
To use the function, you start by using the app to take your selfie shot. Do remember to align your face in the provided frame before pressing the shutter button.

Andy then reconstructs the photo, turning it into a painting within five seconds. Its segmentation technique is so humanised that it recognises humans in photos and is able take them out from the backgrounds behind them, and turn them a brand new paintings.
You can access your photos on your smartphone and turn them into paintings too. 

The ArtBot function has several effects for you to try.
Meitu says Andy is continuing to learn and more painting styles will created.
To save the painting created by ArtBot, you first need to register for an account with Meitu by using your current Facebook or Google account. Then you can save and share your facial art painting with friends.
Apart from the ArtBot function, other features added to the photo app are Dollhouse, Dimensional Camera and Girl's Photobooth features.

Each of these functions has several fun effects to apply to your photos. For example, the Dimensional Camera has Fairy Tale, Paper Frame and Frost that allow you to turn your photos into painting-like images in fun photo frames for sharing. As with ArtBot, these features let you take your selfies or you can access your photos on your smartphone's gallery to apply the effects.
