    摘要: A digital camera for capturing images and for adding personal image metadata labels to the captured images, including an image sensor for capturing a plurality of images; an analog-to-digital converter for digitizing the plurality of captured images, from the image sensor, to produce a plurality of captured digital images. Also, included in the digital camera is a memory location for storing the plurality of captured digital images; a display coupled to the memory location for displaying at least one of the plurality of captured digital images. The digital camera has a user control for selecting a personal image metadata label which corresponds to an emotional or aesthetic category as judged by a user; and a processor responsive to the user control for associating the personal image metadata label with the at least one of the plurality of displayed captured digital image.

    摘要: A method of detecting and correcting camera rotation in a digital camera, that includes the steps of: capturing a digital image to provide a captured digital image; and analyzing the captured digital image to detect a set of lines. The set of lines are used to determine a rotation angle of the captured digital image; and the captured digital image is modified based on the rotation angle, before storing the modified digital image.

    摘要: A method for customizing a digital imaging device for at least one particular user is disclosed. The digital imaging device includes a programmable memory for storing at least one firmware component which controls the operation of the digital imaging device. The method includes providing customization software which can access a plurality of firmware components providing different image appearances, the customization software producing a plurality of images of the same scene having a corresponding plurality of different appearances. The user selects one of the plurality of images having a preferred appearance to cause the customization software to access the corresponding firmware component(s). The selected corresponding firmware component(s) are provided to the digital imaging device and the programmable memory of the digital imaging device is reprogrammed to store the corresponding firmware component(s) to thereby customize the digital imaging device.
