摘要： An electronic database for image interpolation is generated by a computer. The computer generates a low-resolution image from a training image, a plurality of representative vectors from the low-resolution image, and a plurality of interpolation filters corresponding to each of the representative vectors. The interpolation filters and the representative vectors are generated off-line and can be used to perform image interpolation on an image other than the training image. The database can be stored in a device such as computer or a printer.

摘要： A user interface that includes a catalog area, a collage mock-up area, and a mode select interface control operable to select an operational state of the user interface is displayed. Thumbnails of respective images are shown in the catalog area. A layout of a subset of the images is presented in the collage mock-up area. In response to the receipt of a user input gesture and a determination that the user interface is in a first operational state, a first action type is performed based on the type of the received user input gesture and the object type of the target object. In response to the receipt of the user input gesture and a determination that the user interface is in a second operational state, a second action type is performed based on the type of the received user input gesture and the object type of the target object.

摘要： A method for arranging a plurality of graphic elements on a page into a final page layout is described. The method includes identifying a maximum cropping factor (CF) that determines the maximum amount by which a graphic element on the page can be cropped, obtaining a preliminary layout for the graphic elements on the page by, assigning a final area on the page to the preliminary layout, allocating a final area on the page for each graphic element; and fitting each graphic element to its allocated final area.

摘要： In one aspect, respective target rendering sizes of graphic objects to be arranged on a page are ascertained based on a respective nominal size assigned to the graphic objects. Different candidate layouts of the graphic objects on the page are constructed. A final layout of the graphic objects is determined based on comparisons of ones of the actual rendering sizes of the graphic objects in the candidate layouts with their target rendering sizes. In another aspect, two or more different candidate assignments of respective nominal sizes to the graphic objects are determined. A respective set of one or more candidate layouts of the graphic objects on the page is constructed in accordance with each of two or more of the candidate assignments.

摘要： A candidate layout of frames on a page is ascertained, where the frames define respective size dimensions and positions of respective views of the graphic objects (including at least one block of text) on the page. If the target size dimensions are not accommodated by the size dimensions of the frame of the text block presentation, the candidate layout is modified by changing the size dimensions of the frame of the text block presentation to accommodate the target size dimensions and adjusting the size dimensions of the other frames in the candidate layout based on the changed size dimensions of the frame of the text block presentation. Also, different layouts of the frames on a page are determined from a different respective set of aspect ratios and nominal sizes subject to a set of layout constraints.

摘要： A method and system for automatically producing a page using frames of a video stream. A plurality of video frames from a video stream or clip are read, and multiple frames are extracted from the video stream, based on the content of each frame. Frames which neighbor the extracted frames in the video stream are also extracted, with the number of neighboring frames to be extracted being controlled by parameters provided to the page production system. The resolution of the images in the extracted video frames is enhanced, based on the information in each extracted frame and each respective extracted neighboring frame. The enhanced images are automatically cropped to enhance the important features in each image, and the cropped images are composed into one or more pages that are representative of the content of the video stream.

摘要： Methods, machines, systems and machine-readable instructions for albuming graphic elements are described. In one aspect, candidate relative layouts of graphic elements on a page are identified. Each of the candidate relative layouts describes a respective set of layout relationships among the graphic elements. A respective set of constraints describing the corresponding set of layout relationships among the graphic elements is generated for each of the candidate relative layouts. A respective determinate layout of the graphic elements on the page is determined from each set of constraints. One of the determinate layouts is selected as a final layout of the graphic elements on the page.

摘要： Candidate tree structures, each of which includes a current tree structure and a respective node defining a respective relative location on the selected page for another graphic object selected from a set, are generated. Initial size dimensions are determined for the graphic objects in each of the candidate tree structures. Respective scores are computed for the candidate tree structures based at least in part on the corresponding initial size dimensions. One of the candidate tree structures is selected as the current tree structure based on the computed scores. The process is repeated until relative locations on the page are defined for all of the graphic objects in the set. Next, final size dimensions are calculated for the graphic objects in accordance with the current tree structure. Respective positions of the graphic objects on the selected page are specified in accordance with the current tree structure.
