摘要:
A method for determining an impact score for a digital image includes providing the digital image wherein the digital image includes faces; using a processor to determine an image feature for the faces; using the processor to compute an object impact score for the faces, wherein the object impact score is based at least upon one of the determined image features; weighting the object impact score for the faces based on one of the determined image features for a face; using the processor to compute an impact score for the digital image by combining the weighted object impact scores for the faces in the image; and storing the computed impact score in a processor accessible memory.
摘要:
A containment system for packaging a plurality of products that are to be accessed in a predetermined sequence. The containment system includes a plurality of product compartments that each holds at least one of the plurality of products. Indicators having a gas reactive material that changes appearance after a predetermined period of time of exposure to ambient air are deployed when gas cover seals are removed or broken to access a product in the product compartment.

A switchable imaging apparatus having an image display mode and an image capture mode, comprising: a display screen to provide a displayed image when the display screen is in a first display state, wherein the display screen is at least partially transparent when the display screen is switched to a second transparent state; a set of optical beam deflectors, each optical beam deflector being individually switchable between a first non-deflecting state and a second deflecting state wherein imaging light from a corresponding section of the scene is deflected into a camera positioned in a location peripheral to the display screen; and a controller which synchronously switches the display screen between the first display state and the second transparent state, and the individual optical beam deflectors between their first non-deflecting state and their second deflecting state, thereby providing the image display mode and the image capture mode.

A switchable imaging apparatus having a transparent viewing mode and an image capture mode, comprising: a transparent plate having a front surface, wherein a scene is viewable through the transparent plate when the imaging apparatus is in the transparent viewing mode; an optical beam deflector positioned within the transparent plate, wherein the optical beam deflector is switchable between a first non-deflecting state and a second deflecting state, such that when the optical beam deflector is in the second deflecting state imaging light from the scene is deflected into a camera positioned in a location peripheral to the transparent plate; and a controller which synchronously switches the optical beam deflector between the first non-deflecting state and the second deflecting state, thereby providing the transparent viewing mode and the image capture mode.

摘要:
A system and method simplifying the creation process for multimedia slideshows, collages, movies, and other imaging products. Users can share their stories using imaging services, which will handle the formatting and delivery of content for recipients. Recipients can then easily request output from the shared stories in the form of prints, DVDs, collage, poster, picture book or custom output.
摘要:
A system for scanning film image frames containing both an image and recorded information optically imprinted on the image by a camera and reproducing the image with enhanced text reproduction. In print or Photo CD image reproductions, the text appears outside the reproduced image or is enhanced within the reproduced image for better readability. Recorded information is detected in the lateral and longitudinal stripe regions of the film image frame where such information is typically exposed by a camera having the capability is analyzed for its characteristic color hue and pattern. When present, the recorded characters or code patterns are recognized or decoded into ASCII code and formatted for printing or writing to Photo CD to appear as enhanced font text. In a full frame operating mode, an ID code of the data bits corresponding to the characters or code is generated for use in a re-touching algorithm to fill in the data bits so that the full image frame may be printed or recorded to Photo CD. In other variations, the characters may be enhanced to appear in the reproduced image. In a cropped frame operating mode, the data sub-set containing the recorded information may be discarded and only a cropped image reproduced with the text. In all cases, certain of the recorded information may be recognized as exposure data written by the camera that is employed to classify and color correct the reproduced image and may or may not be reproduced as text.
摘要:
An apparatus and method that stores image data on a disk along with an application program that operates on those images. The application program is limited to interacting with only the images on the disk. This interaction limitation is accomplished by creating a unique signature for each image from the data of the image and including that signature in the application. Prior to executing image processing operations on any retrieved image the application checks the signature of the image with the signature in the application and if there is not a match the application program is disabled.
摘要:
A method and system for scanning images contained on a strip of film. The system includes a film cartridge having a spool rotatably mounted thereto. The cartridge includes a filmstrip spirally wrapped about the spool and an opening for allowing film to be taken out of said cartridge. The system includes a scanner having a platen designed to receive an item for scanning and digitizing the information scanned. A transport mechanism is provided which includes a housing for retaining a film cartridge and a guide for guiding the filmstrip onto the platen. A drive mechanism is provided in the transport mechanism for advancing film out of the cartridge and onto the platen for scanning. The scanner scans the filmstrip and digitizing information contained therein.
