Abstract:
A recompressed-sensing recording means, apparatus, device, or system captures one or more recordings, of possibly unknown or unbounded duration, into a finite memory, by resparsifying previously recorded sensor data in order to make room to store new incoming sensor data. In some embodiments this resparsification is re- cursive, resulting in a fraccular (fractally circular) buffer. In some embodiments a LightSpaceTimeLapse image capture means, apparatus, or system captures the passage or stoppage of time, by way of analyzing a scene or subject matter that is subject to changes in lighting or changes in the subject matter, or both. In some embodiments a sparse or reduced resolution test image is captured periodically, and a LightSpaceTime model is constructed to estimate changes in LightSpace or Space- Time or both. Successive frames feed into a LightSpaceTime comparator which triggers full resolution capture into a finite memory at appropriate intervals. As the finite memory capacity approaches full capacity, the image repository is resparsified to make room for more new images. This resparsification is done by a decision process based on LightSpace and SpaceTime analysis. In some embodiments an intermediate LightSpaceTime format is captured and rendered as a background task resulting in an optimization that varies over time, depending on what is considered important in the LightSpaceTime continuum. All exposure and time values are preserved allowing an interpolated reconstruction at constant framerates or constant noveltyrates, as may be desired for artistic or epistemological purposes or for forensically accurate and irrefutable evidence.
Abstract:
A data recording apparatus stores, in a data file having a container structure, multiple pieces of image data that have different expression methods, such as moving image data and still image data, along with metadata regarding the pieces of image data, and records the data file. The data recording apparatus stores the pieces of image data having different expression methods in the data file in the same container format. Accordingly, it is possible to generate a data file that stores various formats of data and has versatility.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to appropriate notification of whether an adjustment item in image processing is available to a user when an information processing apparatus separately acquires a first image and a second image paired with the first image. The information processing apparatus displays the adjustment item in the image processing on a screen in order to set a parameter of each adjustment item for a sub image. The information processing apparatus performs an acquisition process to acquire a main image paired with the sub image. Among the multiple adjustment items displayed on the screen, adjustment items achieving only insufficient adjustment results with the sub image and main image adjustment items achieving more appropriate adjustment results with the main image are updated to a display mode corresponding to an acquisition status of the main image to display the adjustment items on the screen in the updated display mode.
Abstract:
Es wird eine Bildverarbeitungsvorrichtung mit einem Bildsensoreingang zum Verbinden eines Bildsensors, einem Anzeigeausgang zum Verbinden einer Anzeigeeinrichtung, einem Speicherausgang zum Verbinden eines Festspeichers und einem Graphikprozessor beschrieben. Der Graphikprozessor ist ausgebildet, um in Bilddaten, die über den Bildsensoreingang erhaltbar sind, erste Überlagerungsbilddaten einzufügen, um einen ersten prozessierten Datenstrom zu erzeugen, und um in die Bilddaten zweite Überlagerungsbilddaten, die sich von den ersten Überlagerungsbilddaten unterscheiden, einzufügen, um einen zweiten prozessierten Datenstrom zu erhalten, und um den ersten prozessierten Datenstrom an den Speicherausgang zu leiten und den zweiten prozessierten Datenstrom an den Anzeigeausgang zu leiten.
Abstract:
A system and method of preparing images captured by a lifelog camera for efficient transfer from the camera to another device. The lifelog camera generates a corresponding thumbnail for each image that it captures, and an automated analysis engine analyzes the thumbnails for interestingness and, in some cases, for similarity.
