摘要： An exemplary method includes identifying defects in a first image among a series of images, by identifying a first portion of the first image at a first location in the first image, wherein a brightness of the first portion is different from a second portion at the first location in a previous image and a third portion at the first location in a subsequent image, by an amount exceeding a first threshold value, determining whether a first region of the first image that includes the first portion, matches a second region of the previous image and a third region of the subsequent image, wherein the second and third regions are at second and third locations displaced from the first location, and characterizing the first portion as a defect when the first region does not match the second and third regions.

摘要： A method and apparatus for calibrating a motion sensing device in a portable apparatus includes sampling an output of a secondary motion sensing device and determining if the output of the secondary motion sensing device is indicative of a stationary portable apparatus. If the output of the secondary motion sensing device is indicative of a stationary portable apparatus, a bias offset of a primary motion sensing device is determined from an output of the primary motion sensing device. The output of the primary motion sensing device is adjusted to remove the effects of the bias offset.

摘要： A process and apparatus is described to improve a digital camera user interface and increase ease of use and functionality of a digital camera by quickly, accurately and robustly permitting cursor control and designation in a digital camera display. A digital camera is used as a pointing device such as a mouse or trackball. The motion of the camera is detected, and the motion of the camera is used to position graphic elements on the camera's own display. The camera's motion can be detected with sensors, such as gyroscopes, or the camera itself can be used as a motion sensor. One application of this involves using the camera as a computer mouse, or like a gun-sight, to select images from a sheet of low-resolution (“thumbnail”) images. The motion of the camera is tracked, and the user aims at the desired image from a sheet of thumbnail images. The thumbnails appear to be fixed relative to the world because the camera can continuously reposition them in the display based upon the motion of the camera. The user can then select a thumbnail in an intuitive manner by simply pointing the camera at the desired thumbnail. For alternative embodiments, the interface can be used to select regions of greater extent than can be viewed in the viewer or to virtually review images.

摘要翻译： 描述了一种处理和装置，以通过快速，准确和鲁棒地允许在数字照相机显示器中的光标控制和指定来改善数字照相机用户界面并增加数字照相机的易用性和功能。 数码相机用作诸如鼠标或轨迹球的指示设备。 检测摄像机的运动，摄像机的运动用于将图形元素放置在摄像机本身的显示屏上。 摄像机的运动可以用诸如陀螺仪的传感器来检测，或者摄像机本身可以用作运动传感器。 这样的一个应用是将照相机用作计算机鼠标，或像枪瞄准镜，从一张低分辨率（“缩略图”）图像中选择图像。 跟踪相机的运动，并且用户从一张缩略图图像中瞄准所需的图像。 缩略图似乎相对于世界是固定的，因为相机可以基于相机的运动在显示器中连续地重新定位它们。 然后，用户可以通过简单地将相机指向所需的缩略图，以直观的方式选择缩略图。 对于替代实施例，该接口可以用于选择比在观看者中可以观看到的程度更大的区域，或者实际上检查图像。

摘要： A method of blending a pair of images, each image comprising a plurality of pixels having an intensity. A blending edge is determined for each image, each blending edge comprising at least one group of pixels, with each pixel at a pixel position, and an average intensity of pixels of the blending edges is determined at each pixel position. The method includes determining a scaling factor based on a relationship between the average intensity and the intensity of the pixel of the at least one group of pixels of the blending edge at each pixel position of each image. A blending area is determined for each image, each blending area comprising at least one group of pixels having a pixel at each of the pixel positions. The intensity of the pixel at each pixel position of the at least one group of pixels of the blending area of each image is scaled with the corresponding scaling factor.

摘要： A method of intensity correction of at least two frames, each frame comprising a sequence of at least two images, each image at a different image position in the sequence and each pair of adjacent images having an overlap region. The method includes selecting an image at a same image position in each frame as a reference image. A set of global intensity transformations is determined, one global intensity transformation for all pairs of adjacent images at corresponding pairs of adjacent images positions of all frames, wherein the global intensity transformations are relative to the reference images. Each global intensity transformation is applied to each pixel of one image at each corresponding pair of adjacent image positions.

摘要： A method and system for blending images into a single image. Initially two images of a view are selected, wherein the images have overlapping content of the view. The images can differ from each other in such characteristics as time, camera location, camera settings, and lighting. The images are divided into strips along a common plane in a region of each image where the images overlap. A strip from each image is selected where the images are a close match. Pixel by pixel difference values between the two strips are calculated, and a cut line is determined where the differences between the two strips are minimized. Each image is cut along the corresponding cut line, and the cut images are blended together to form a single image of the view. The blended single image can be further processed by warping the image along the cut line to provide for a smoother fit between the two images.
