Abstract:
This invention can develop a part of RAW image data and display the developed part of RAW image data with a result of processing, even if the part of the RAW image data refers to other part of the RAW image data.An image processing apparatus obtains an output area of RAW image data to be displayed on a window and a reference area of RAW image data to be pasted to the output area of the RAW image data. The apparatus develops the output area of the RAW image data and the reference area of the RAW image data. Then, the apparatus pastes a development result of the reference area of the RAW image data on a development result of the output area of the RAW image data. After that, the apparatus executes display processing to the development result of the output area of the RAW image data.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus by which image data can be downloaded simply. A video camera 11 receives thumbnail images corresponding to one or more images included in an album from a video camera image station 41 and displays the thumbnail images on an LCD unit. If one or more images to be downloaded are selected, then the video camera 11 acquires image information of the selected image or images from a video camera image station 41, analyzes the image information and discriminates it one by one image whether or not the selected image data are downloadable. Every time one image is discriminated to be downloadable, the video camera 11 accesses a corresponding URL designated for each image, downloads the image from the URL and records the image onto a recording medium. The video camera 11 successively downloads the selected images in this manner.
Abstract:
A portable terminal includes a storage circuit, a communication circuit, a reading instruction circuit, a target-selection accepting circuit, a scanned-image data acquiring circuit, and a combined image data generating circuit. The reading instruction circuit instructs the scanner to read the document image. The target-selection accepting circuit accepts selection of target image data from the image data inside the storage circuit. The scanned-image data acquiring circuit acquires the scanned-image data from the scanner. The scanned-image data is generated by the reading of the document image by the scanner. The combined image data generating circuit generates single combined image data with a plurality of pages by combining the scanned image data with the target image data, and acquires the combined image data instead of the scanned image data.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an image processing method for generating a mosaic of images. The method includes selecting a cover image from a plurality of images and dividing the cover image into a number of grid blocks. For each grid block, the average color (or other parameter) is calculated and each grid block is assigned a sub-content based on the color matching. Mosaic generation information is transmitted to a server, the mosaic generation information including a list of sub-content to be displayed in the mosaic, each sub-content including corresponding grid block location information. A server verifies whether each of the sub-content exists on the server and transmits sub-content not present on the server, to the server. The mosaic is displayed on a display of a portable terminal the sub-content using the mosaic generation information so that the cover image is reproduced to form of a mosaic of sub-content that represents the cover image and each sub-content includes additional information specific to each sub-content.
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.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus stores a plurality of pieces of image data including grouped image data. The communication apparatus transmits, to another communication apparatus, information of representative image data out of the grouped image data, and information indicating a number of pieces of image data contained in the group, in response to a request from the other communication apparatus.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device with a touch screen display for photo management is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device displays an array of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of photographic images. The device replaces the displayed array of thumbnail images with a user-selected photographic image upon detecting a user contact with a corresponding thumbnail image in the array. The user-selected photographic image is displayed at a larger scale than the corresponding thumbnail image. The portable device displays a different photographic image in replacement of the user-selected photographic image in accordance with a scrolling gesture. The scrolling gesture comprises a substantially horizontal movement of user contact with the touch screen display.
Abstract:
An image display apparatus which displays an image, and selectively reads out one of a RAW image and a first developed image obtained by performing a developing process and a compression process for the RAW image, as a candidate image to be displayed following a currently displayed image, from a storage medium storing the RAW image and the first developed image, in accordance with the currently displayed image The apparatus also performs a developing process for the RAW image with higher image quality than the first developed image, performs a decompression process for the developed image, stores the candidate image which is processed by the development or the decompression so as to be displayed, and controls to display the stored candidate image on a display unit by switching from the currently displayed image to the candidate image, in response to an instruction to switch the displayed image.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus, including: a photographing unit which picks up a moving picture and a still picture; a first encoder which encodes the moving picture and the still picture by a first encoding method; a second encoder which encodes the still picture by a second encoding method which is different from the first encoding method; and a recorder which records a file of the moving picture encoded by the first encoding method, a file of the still picture encoded by the first encoding method and a file of the still picture encoded by the second encoding method, on a recording medium, wherein both of the file of the still picture encoded by the first encoding method and the file of the still picture encoded by the second encoding method, are based on one still picture picked up with a single photographing.
