摘要:
A method for determining an event classification for digital images, comprising: receiving one or more digital images; detecting one or more man-made light emitting sources within the one or more digital images; using a data processor to automatically determine an event classification responsive to analyzing a spatial arrangement of the detected man-made light emitting sources in the one or more digital images; and storing metadata in a processor-accessible memory associating the determined event classification with each of the one or more digital images.
摘要:
An appeal estimation system for estimating a personal appeal of a candidate individual to an observer including a digital image capture device and a soft-copy display. The system further includes a data processing system configured to implement the steps of designating a set of proxy individuals; providing one or more digital images for each proxy individual; determining personal appeal values of each proxy individual to the observer; capturing one or more digital images of the candidate individual using the digital image capture device; determining image similarity metrics between the digital images for the candidate individual and each proxy individual; determining similarity values between the candidate individual and each proxy individual responsive to the determined image similarity metrics; estimating the personal appeal of the candidate individual to the observer by combining the personal appeal values for the proxy individuals; and displaying an indication of the estimated personal appeal on the soft-copy display.

摘要:
Segmenting scalp and facial hair of a human subject depicted in an image by identifying from metadata associated with the image or semantic information extracted from the image information indicating a possible distribution of the scalp hair or the facial hair, identifying from hair distribution information an expected-hair region within the image wherein the expected-hair region includes at least a portion of a head area of the subject, and identifying a hair region within the expected hair region.
摘要:
A method and device for adapting a display image on a hand-held portable wireless display and digital capture device. The device includes a camera for capturing a digital video and/or still image of a user, means for adjusting the captured digital image in response to poor image capture angle of said image capture device so as to create a modified captured digital image; and means for transmitting said modified captured digital image over a wireless communication network to a second hand-held portable wireless display and digital capture device.
摘要:
A method of combining an image with an imaging-related product, comprising: providing an image; forming an image-color histogram of spatially-coherent color clusters within the image, the image-color histogram indicating the frequency of occurrence of spatially-coherent related colors in the image; selecting one or more of the image colors having a frequency of occurrence in the image high enough to be visible to an image observer; selecting an imaging-related product having one or more of the selected high-frequency colors within the imaging-related product or having a color complementary to one or more of the selected high-frequency colors within the imaging-related product; and combining the image and the imaging-related product.

摘要:
A method of generating captions or semantic labels for an acquired image is based upon similarity between the acquired image and one or more stored images that are maintained in an image database environment, where the stored images have preexisting captions or labels associated with them. The method includes the steps of: a) acquiring an image for evaluation with respect to the stored images; b) automatically extracting metadata from the acquired image without requiring user interaction in the image database environment; c) automatically selecting one or more stored images having metadata similar to the extracted metadata, thereby providing selected stored images with metadata similar to the acquired image; and d) generating captions or labels for the acquired image from the preexisting captions or labels associated with the selected stored images.
摘要:
A method for automatically detecting a segment where a mosaic fade, formed by a plurality of tiles, occurs in a digital video, the method comprising the steps of: locating the segment of the digital video containing the plurality of tiles in each frame; detecting whether the tiles, within the located segment, have a predetermined increase or decrease in size from one frame to a next frame; identifying a boundary of the mosaic fade based on the previous step.
