Methods and apparatus generate, and use in printing, a dither matrix that incorporates a vivid-response function, that follows a generally S-shaped response curve. Printing with this pregenerated dither cell is just as fast as with a conventional cell, but printed color has a slightly exaggerated vividness, more pleasing to most users than more-accurately reproduced color. Color printed with this curve alone, however, is found unsatisfactorily dark; the invention also encompasses including in the overall response another function to lighten the colors--particularly at the low end of the brightness range. We define both functions as so-called "gamma functions", but with different arguments and exponents, and construct the S-shaped curve as two separate sections blended at a generally central point. Preferably the argument of the first (low-brightness) section is an expression that is proportional to an input color signal; the function raises this argument to a power greater than unity (ideally 1.6). The second (high-brightness) section of the first function is essentially a mirror image of the first, flipped over first upward and then to the "right" (i.e., in both steps toward higher brightness); and is defined by an equation closely analogous to the first but measuring the signal from the high end of the input range and subtracting the curve value from the maximum output. The second gamma function has as its argument the output value of the first, and an exponent smaller than one--ideally 0.6.

Crowd behavior in a video feed may be analyzed based on movement of a human object identified in the video feed. An abnormal event may be triggered if the movement of the human object deviates from the analyzed crowd behavior. A camera may scan a face of the human object, if the abnormal event is triggered.

Examples disclose a method executed on a computing device to locate a clothing region within an image to segment into a region of related clothing. Further, the examples provide detecting a feature of the related clothing. Additionally, the examples also disclose determining a style of the related clothing in the region based on the detection of the feature.

A method for generating a panoramic image that enables a user to obtain panoramic photographs with a digital camera without the aid of a computer system or specialized lenses. A digital camera according to the present techniques captures a series of image frames as a user pans the digital camera through a panoramic image scene and combines the captured image frames while the image frames are being captured.
摘要:
Methods, machines, and machine-readable media for processing multiple exposure source images, including a reference image and one or more non-reference images, are described. In one aspect, respective sets of motion vectors that establish correspondences between respective pairs of the source images are calculated. Ones of the source images are warped to a reference coordinate system based on the sets of motion vectors. For each of the non-reference ones of the warped images, a respective set of one or more measures of alignment confidence between the non-reference warped image and the reference image in the reference coordinate system is computed. Saturated pixels and unsaturated pixels are identified in the warped images. An output image with pixel value contributions from unsaturated pixels in the warped images is generated based on the computed alignment confidence measures.
