Abstract: A method, system and process for improving image enhancement tools through the application of expert systems. The improvements are accomplished by the operation of a process in the memory of a processor that enhances an image based on a set of criteria entered by a user. The image is enhanced in at least two ways and the two enhanced images (510, 520) are presented to the user. The user selects the image that appears best and the selected image (530) is thereafter used for subsequent image enhancements according to the user criteria until a final choice of images (550, 560) is presented.

Abstract: A plurality of frames associated with sequences of video source material representing a series of scene changes are digitized. A computerized process analyzes the digitized information and identifies one or more frames of the source material associated with and representative of each such scene change and/or sequence. The representative frames are displayed. A selected frame from the display will thereby cause automatic selection and association of a sequence of frames comprising a corresponding video sequence from which the frame was selected for subsequent playback. In a preferred embodiment, the entirety of the representative frames or a subset thereof are specified and ordered. The order of the corresponding frames of video segments or scenes corresponding to each such selected and ordered representative frame are thereby automatically also ordered. Simplified video editing is accomplished by manipulating these representative frames, each associated with a different scene or video sequence.

Abstract: An image processing system for viewing a representation of an overscanned captured image (10) on a display that is incapable of displaying the full image as originally captured, the system consisting of means for digitising the image, means (30) for storing a first block of data from the digitising camera (14) representing the captured and digitised image, logic for generating a second data block from a first data block of the digitised image data by removing every Nth data element of the first data block, where N is less then the number of elements in the first data block, and a display (26) for displaying the second data block overlayed upon at least a portion of the digitised image.

Abstract: An audio processing system comprises an editor system for converting a received audio sound recording into digital data blocks, where each data block represents a corresponding portion of the sound recording during a predetermined time interval. The data blocks are stored as a consecutive sequence representing the sound recording. A display circuit is provided for displaying the data blocks as a timed based graphical representation to a user. The sound recording is displayed for editing by converting the received sound recording into digital data blocks, displaying an axis representing time, displaying a graphical representation of the digital data adjacent to the time axis corresponding to the relative time position of a corresponding sound recording portion in that time period, and displaying at least one user locatable mark on the time axis representing a time point of the sound recording.
