摘要:
A method of determining the physiological reactivity of an individual with respect to images, comprising: measuring at least one physiological parameter of an individual during a baseline calm period of time; measuring the said at least one physiological parameter of said individual during a stress period of time and a succeeding rest period of time; dividing said measured data for each of said periods of time into a plurality of predetermined time segments; computing a histogram or Fourier analysis as appropriate on said predetermined time segments for each said period of time; standardizing said computed data; conducting a principal component analysis, a canonical discriminant analysis, or a neural network, on said data to establish a baseline calm or rest period set of scores and a stress period set of scores; measuring the said at least one physiological parameter of said individual during an image presentation period of time; repeating said time segmenting, said histogram or Fourier analysis, and said standardizing steps on said measured physiological data for said image presentation period of time; applying said vectors from said conducting step to said image data to produce an image set of scores which are compared with said baseline and stress sets of scores; and determining whether said presented image is activating, deactivating, or neutral based on said comparison.
摘要:
A method of generating a personal image profile based on an individual's physiological and cognitive state compromising: presenting a master set of images to an individual wherein each image in the master set is characterized by a set of scene and image related classifiers that are relevant to producing an effect on an individual; measuring and recording one or more of said individual's physiological parameters while viewing a presented image; measuring the individual's cognitive state from cognitive responses to each presented image; and generating a personal image profile of the individual based on combining the physiological and cognitive measures from said measuring steps, said personal image profile including image classifiers for identifying activating or deactivating images for said individuals.
摘要:
A method of managing a physiological or psychological state of an individual using images comprising: determining an individual's direction or preference for a state management session; based on the determination, deciding whether a current set of images selected through a personal image profile session, will achieve the desired management effect; if the current set are deemed satisfactory, presenting the set of images to the individual to achieve management of the individual's state.
摘要:
A method for classifying images according to features that are relevant to potential therapeutic effect, comprising: providing an image; and classifying said image according to one or more of the following classes, landscapes, people-activity, people-expression, people-type, animals, color (dominant hue(s)), direction of light, type of light, distance, travel/offset(direction of motion/travel).
摘要:
A method of classifying an individual's personal preference for an image, comprising: viewing an image for a period of time; and ranking the image on a scale extending between a “detached” feeling and an “attached” feeling, where “detached” is a feeling of not being able to personally connect to the object or situation depicted in the image, and “attached” is a feeling of a personal connection to the object or situation depicted in their image.
摘要:
An apparatus for managing the physiological and/or psychological state of an individual comprising a source of biophilic images; a device for sensing at least one physiological parameter of an individual; and a display, linked to said source and said device, for displaying biophilic images from said source as a function of the sensed physiological parameter in order to manage a physiological or psychological state of the individual.
摘要:
A system for forming a motion card from frames of video selected by a user from a sequence of video frames that have been previously recorded on a video tape incorporates a kiosk that contains a video tape player, a processor receives a sequence of video frames from the video tape player, a display is used to display a selected range of video frames received by the processor, and step-by-step interactive instructions for the user for enabling the user to select video frames from the displayed selected range of video frames for preview display is improved by enabling the processing and display of video frames as if they were formed on the motion card so as to provide a high degree of correspondence between the displayed motion card and the to be formed motion card. A viewable simulation of the adjacency effect that will be present in the formed motion card enables the operator to improve the selection of the frames to be used in the formed motion card. Additionally, editing software enables the user to reselect video frames from the selected sequence of video frames so as to effectively change the content of the displayed motion card to meet the user's taste. A printer and a laminator, located in the kiosk or in communication with the kiosk, are used to print the selected frames in an interleaving manner, on a card sheet and for laminating a lenticular sheet over the interleaved printing so as to provide a motion card that replicates the motion image previewed on the display.
摘要:
A method for customizing a digital camera for at least one particular user is disclosed. The digital camera includes a reprogrammable memory for storing firmware which controls the operation of the digital camera and a camera graphical user interface responsive to the firmware stored in the reprogrammable memory. The method includes providing customization software executed external to the digital camera which can access a plurality of firmware components having different camera features. A user selects desired camera features to cause the customization software to access the corresponding firmware component(s). The selected corresponding firmware component(s) are provided to the digital camera and the reprogrammable memory is reprogrammed to store the corresponding firmware component(s) to thereby customize the digital camera.
