In an example embodiment, an optimal cropping of a digital image is determined. A machine learning algorithm is used to generate a professionalism score for the digital image, the utilizing a machine learning algorithm comprising a training mode where a plurality of sample images with labeled professionalism scores are used to train a classification function in a model that produces as professionalism score as output; and an analysis mode where the model is used to generate a professionalism score for the digital image. Then, the professionalism score is used as an input to a discrete variable optimization algorithm to determine an optimum cropped version of the digital image from a plurality of possible cropped versions of the digital image using the classification function.

Systems for image evaluation and dynamic cropping are provided. In some examples, a system, may receive an instrument or image of an instrument. Identifying information may be extracted from the instrument or image of the instrument. Based on the extracted identifying information, a check/check image profile may be retrieved. In some examples, expected size and/or shape data may be extracted from the check/check image profile. The extracted expected size and/or shape data may be compared to size and/or shape data from the received instrument or image of the instrument to identify any anomalies (e.g., to determine whether the expected size and/or shape data matches the size and/or shape data of the received instrument or image of the instrument. If the expected size and/or shape data does not match size and/or shape data from the received instrument or image of the instrument, the instrument or image of the instrument may be programmatically modified and a modified image of the instrument may be generated.

A control section performs control of displaying a plurality of different original images in a list form on a touch display section, clips a part of at least one of the plurality of different original images displayed in the list form in response to the detection of a second instruction operation by the user, acquires the clipped image, and performs control of displaying the clipped and acquired image in place of its original image displayed in the list form and subjected to the clipping, with the display size of the original image being maintained.

There are disclosed various methods, apparatuses and computer program products for testing a display. In some embodiments an image sensor captures a rendered image from the display to form a captured image, the image sensor having a second resolution greater than the first resolution. The captured image is analyzed to find difference of orientation of the rendered image with respect to an orientation of the image sensor. A rotated image is formed on the basis of the analyzed difference of orientation to obtain orientation for the rotated image to correspond with the orientation of the image sensor. The rotated image is resampled to form a resampled image having the first resolution.

In a video capture system, a virtual lens is simulated when applying a crop or zoom effect to an input video. An input video frame is received from the input video that has a first field of view and an input lens distortion caused by a lens used to capture the input video frame. A selection of a sub-frame representing a portion of the input video frame is obtained that has a second field of view smaller than the first field of view. The sub-frame is processed to remap the input lens distortion to a desired lens distortion in the sub-frame. The processed sub-frame is the outputted.

A method of processing an image involves detecting a face from a first image; determining a composition of the first image; selecting a composition of a second image according to the composition of the first image; and generating the second image including the face by trimming the first image, according to the composition of the second image.

An image data processing system and associated methods for processing images and methods for image blending are provided. The method for processing panorama images in an image data processing system includes the steps of: receiving a plurality of source images from at least one image input interface, wherein the source images at least include overlapping portions; receiving browsing viewpoint and viewing angle information; determining cropped images of the source images based on the browsing viewpoint and viewing angle information; and generating a panorama image corresponding to the browsing viewpoint and viewing angle information for viewing or previewing based on the cropped images of the source images.

The information processing apparatus in one embodiment of the present invention is an information processing apparatus for selecting an image from among a plurality of images in response to instructions of a user and having: a reception unit configured to receive specification of an object on one image of the plurality of images; a detection unit configured to detect the object from each of the plurality of images; a display unit configured to display an area corresponding to the detected object of each of the plurality of images so that the area is emphasized more than the other areas in each of the plurality of images; and a selection unit configured to select one of the plurality of images in response to the instructions by a user after the display by the display unit.

A vehicular multi-camera surround view system includes a front camera, a driver-side camera, a passenger-side camera and a rear backup camera. Image data captured by the cameras is conveyed to an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is operable to combine image data conveyed from the front camera, the driver-side camera, the passenger-side camera and the rear backup camera to form composite video images, which are output for display at a display device. Rear backup video images are displayed no later than two seconds after the driver of the vehicle first changes propulsion of the vehicle during a new ignition cycle to reverse mode. Upon changing propulsion of the vehicle during the new ignition cycle to reverse mode to commence a backup event subsequent to the first backup event, the video display screen displays video images derived, at least in part, from image data captured by the rear backup camera.

An imaging device that includes an imaging unit included K imaging elements, a display unit included K display areas, an image signal generation unit that generates partial image signals based on imaging signals output from the imaging unit, and outputs image signals to the display unit, and a timing control unit that outputs a timing when the image processing generation unit outputs the image signal based on display output line information and image processing line information, and the image processing generation unit outputs an image signal indicating an image to be displayed in a display target line in a case where the display output line information and the image processing line information indicate the display target line.
