Abstract:
A photographing apparatus includes a photographing unit that captures an image from incident light thereon; a communication status checking unit that checks a communication status of the photographing apparatus; a resolution determination unit that sets a resolution for a first image file for the captured image according to the communication status; a file generation unit that generates the first image file from the captured image, the first image file having the set resolution; and a communication unit that transmits the first image file to an external device.
Abstract:
An electronic device that includes a touch-sensitive surface stores a plurality of sequences of images. The device displays a first representative image for a first sequence of images in a movable first area on a display. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the gesture including movement by a contact that corresponds to movement in a first direction on the display. In response to detecting the gesture on the touch-sensitive surface: the device moves the first area in the first direction on the display; moves a movable second area in the first direction on the display; and, in accordance with a determination that sequence-display criteria are met, displays, in chronological order in the second area, at least some images for a second sequence of images acquired by the camera before acquiring a second representative image for the second sequence of images.
Abstract:
Disclosed are technologies are useful in enabling a smart phone to respond to a user's environment, e.g., so it can serve as an intuitive hearing and seeing device. Some of the detailed arrangements involve using radio base station SDR equipment (e.g., at a cell tower) to perform image recognition operations for phones; forecasting service needs from remote processors delegating a remote execution task to a service provider chosen in a competitive process; using nearby processors, e.g., in an automobile, another phone, or set-top box, for remote execution tasks; phones with separable camera and/or illumination components; phone camera illumination using different colors of light; using search tree methods with image frames captured at different focuses; using a phone's microprojector to aid in object identification; correcting lens aberrations by texture mapping captured imagery onto a corrective polygon surface using a phone GPU; etc. A great variety of other features are also detailed.
Abstract:
An electronic device displays a representative image on a display. The representative image is one image in a sequence of images that includes images acquired by a camera before and after acquiring the representative image. While displaying the representative image, the device detects an input. In response to detecting the input, the device transitions from displaying the representative image to displaying a prior image in the sequence of images that was acquired by the camera before acquiring the representative image. After transitioning to displaying the respective prior image, the device displays, in sequence starting with the prior image, at least some of the images acquired by the camera before acquiring the representative image and at least some of the images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image.
Abstract:
An improved automatic image capture system for an intelligent mobile device having a camera guides a user to position the camera so only a single image needs to be automatically captured. Syntactic features, using a view finder on a display of the intelligent mobile device, are used to guide a user to maximize the occupancy of the view finder with the document so that the document is maximized within the view finder based upon detected corners of the document. When occupancy is maximized, the camera automatically captures the image of the document for post-processing using semantic knowledge of the document. A confidence level is computed based on the semantic knowledge to qualify an image with greater accuracy, and without user intervention, prior to transmission to a remote site.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a surveillance apparatus such as a surveillance camera and a digital video recorder. The surveillance apparatus includes: an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert an analog video signal, of at least one image of a region captured by an optical system, into digital video data of the region; and a main controller configured to detect a current motion region from the digital video data of the region, remove a high frequency component of the region except the current motion region, and transmit the digital video data of the region, from which the high frequency component is removed, to a target device over a communication network.
Abstract:
A method of editing a digital image is provided herein. The method includes displaying a first image in a user interface presented in a display of a user device, receiving a selection of an edit area of the first image, and displaying a portion of a second image of a plurality of still images in the edit area of the first image. Each of the plurality of still images is captured in succession adjacent to the first image. The method further includes replacing the edit area of the first image with the portion of the second image to generate a modified image and storing the modified image in memory as an image file. Associated systems and computer program products are also provided herein.
Abstract:
A method for controlling the preview of images taken by multiple cameras includes displaying a first preview image of a first camera on a screen, detecting a first user gesture through a second camera and a second user gesture on a touch panel mounted on the screen, and displaying a second preview image of the second camera along with the first preview image of the first camera in response to the first and second user gestures. A mobile terminal includes a first camera and a second camera, and a control unit configured to detect a first user gesture through a second camera and a second user gesture on a touch panel in a state of displaying the first preview image.
Abstract:
A dual-aperture zoom camera comprising a Wide camera with a respective Wide lens and a Tele camera with a respective Tele lens, the Wide and Tele cameras mounted directly on a single printed circuit board, wherein the Wide and Tele lenses have respective effective focal lengths EFLW and EFLT and respective total track lengths TTLW and TTLT and wherein TTLW/EFLW>1.1 and TTLT/EFLT
Abstract:
A method is described that includes capturing a pixelated depth image of a person with a depth camera. The method also includes identifying body parts from the image. The method also includes forming a vector of distances between the body parts. The method also includes comparing the vector against a database of respective body distance vectors for a plurality of people to identify the person.
