Abstract:
An image capture device is described which is operable in any one of a number of capture modes. The device comprises a camera, a memory and a processor. The memory stores a plurality of sets of capture triggers, with each set of capture triggers being associated with one of the plurality of capture modes. The processor selects one of the plurality of capture modes, such that the device is operable in the selected capture mode. In the selected capture mode, an image is captured automatically when a capture trigger within the associated set of capture triggers is satisfied.
Abstract:
A system and method for automatically determine whether an image captured by a digital camera should be stored in a raw format or a compressed format. After an image is captured by the digital camera, the digital camera checks certain sets of characteristics of the captured image to check the image quality. If the image quality falls within an acceptable range, then the digital camera saves the image in a compressed format. If the captured image does not fall within predetermined quality levels, then the captured image is save in raw format for later processing.
Abstract:
An information recording apparatus (S) is provided with: first format recording device (125) for recording an image information on a recording medium in first format; and second format recording device (125) for recording the image information on said recording medium in second format that is different from said first format.
Abstract:
A video recording apparatus preferable for recording an imaged still picture with high definition which can be reproduced even by a recordable player or player basically designed for MPEG dynamic image reproduction. When a still picture is recorded, the video recording apparatus records both a still picture encoded by still picture encoding means (106) and a still picture produced by dynamic picture encoding means (105) by encoding the signal of one frame from the still picture encoded by signal transforming means (109).
Abstract:
A method for grouping related images captured with an image capture device (114) includes identifying a first group, the first group distinguishing at least one first image of an image capture method defined in the image capture device; and identifying a second group, the second group distinguishing at least one second image of one or more designated image characteristics, wherein the first and second groups provide structured relationships among images. The first group further includes a natural group and the image capture method further includes a time lapse capture. The second group further includes programmed groups. A system (110) includes a digital image capture device (114) capable of capturing and processing digital image data, and a central processing unit (118) within the digital image capture device. The central processing unit further coordinates identification of a first group and identification of a second group, wherein the first and second groups provide structured relationships among images.

Abstract:
A management device, configured to be connectable with a storage device configured to store therein image data, includes a determining means configured to determine whether the image data stored in the storage device satisfies a predetermined condition, and a size reducing means configured to reduce a size of the image data in accordance with a rule depending on the determination by the determining means.
