Abstract: Techniques and tools for automatically analyzing and adjusting digital images upon acquisition are described. In one aspect, an application analyzes and adjusts image data (e.g., pixel data) automatically upon acquiring (e.g., from a source such as a digital camera) a digital image. Adjustments can be based on, for example, image orientation, red-eye detection, blurriness, color balance, exposure, or noise detection. Metadata corresponding to image adjustments can be stored in an adjusted image file to preserve the original image. In another aspect, a computer system comprises image analysis and image adjustment software modules for analyzing and adjusting digital image data at image acquisition time. The image adjustment module can include one or more processing filters. A customizable software architecture allows customization of the image adjustment software module (e.g., by adding, removing or reordering processing filters). The described techniques and tools can be implemented as features of an operating system environment.

Abstract translation: 描述了在采集时自动分析和调整数字图像的技术和工具。 在一个方面，应用程序在获取数字图像（例如，来自诸如数字照相机的源）时自动分析和调整图像数据（例如，像素数据）。 调整可以基于例如图像定向，红眼检测，模糊度，颜色平衡，曝光或噪声检测。 对应于图像调整的元数据可以存储在调整后的图像文件中，以保留原始图像。 另一方面，计算机系统包括图像分析和图像调整软件模块，用于在图像获取时分析和调整数字图像数据。 图像调整模块可以包括一个或多个处理过滤器。 可定制的软件架构允许定制图像调整软件模块（例如，通过添加，移除或重新排序处理过滤器）。 所描述的技术和工具可以被实现为操作系统环境的特征。
