An album creation application displays an image arrangement screen and an image selection screen, and image data selected by a user from among an image group is arranged in an image slot selected by the user on the image arrangement screen. Each of the image data, which is arranged in the respective image slots included in album data for which an order is confirmed, is analyzed so as to determine whether or not each of the image data is a target of high quality printing. Based on the analysis result, upsampling for increasing the resolution is selectively performed to the image data included in the album data. The album data is sent to an image printer.

A method for labeling an image, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes the following operations. A remote sensing image is acquired. A local binary image respectively corresponding to at least one building in the remote sensing image and direction angle information of a contour pixel located on a building contour in the local binary image are determined based on the remote sensing image. The direction angle information includes information of an angle between a contour edge where the contour pixel is located and a preset reference direction. A labeled image labeled with a polygonal contour of the at least one building in the remote sensing image is generated based on the local binary image respectively corresponding to the at least one building and the direction angle information.

An augmented reality method using a mobile device having a display screen and a camera, the method includes receiving an image of a physical object from the camera, the physical object incorporating a machine-readable code, detecting the machine-readable code in the image of the physical object, decoding the machine-readable code, determining a website address of a website in response to decoding the machine-readable code, automatically navigating to the website according to the website address, and automatically receiving a video stream from the website and playing the video on the display screen of the mobile device superimposed over the image of the physical object.

A method for measuring distance is provided and includes: receiving an image captured by an image capturing device; identifying and extracting a human face in the image; identifying two eyes and a mouth included in the human face; defining a region using the two eyes and the mouth, and calculating a number of pixels contained in the region; and calculating a distance between the human face and the image capturing device based on the number of pixels contained in the region and a resolution of the image capturing device.

A surface inspection apparatus includes an imaging device configured to image a surface of an object to be inspected, and a processor configured to calculate a numerical value representing a quality of the surface by processing an image captured by the imaging device, and display, on a display device, the image including an index for specifying a position of a portion that has contributed to the calculation of the numerical value and the numerical value.

An asset inventory for a site location is conducted by providing a user with a mobile interface, collecting a site ID, collecting an equipment ID, collecting equipment asset information, associating the equipment ID and equipment asset information with the site ID, and storing the equipment asset information, equipment ID, and site ID in one or more data repositories. Site surveys are conducted based on a system comprising a server, one or more data repositories, a mobile data interface, a network, and a series of rules corresponding to service and maintenance of site equipment.

Techniques are disclosed for sharing user markings between digital documents and corresponding physically printed documents. The sharing is facilitated using an Augmented Reality (AR) device, such as a smartphone or a tablet. The device streams images of a page of a book on a display. The device accesses a corresponding digital document that is a digital version of content printed on the book. In an example, the digital document has a digital user marking, e.g., a comment associated with a paragraph of the digital document, wherein a corresponding paragraph of the physical book lacks any such comment. When the device streams the images of the page of the book on the display, the device appends the digital comment on the paragraph of the page of the book within the image stream. Thus, the user can view the digital comment in the AR environment, while reading the physical book.

A picture processing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: detecting, in response to an image editing trigger operation, a target processing part in a to-be-processed picture; determining an image region comprising the target processing part, in the to-be-processed picture; and zooming in on the image region, on an image editing interface. Hence, according to the embodiments, when an image editing operation is triggered, the target processing part on the to-be-processed picture can be quickly positioned, and be zoomed in on the image editing interface, so that a user can conveniently perform image editing on the target processing part, and the picture processing efficiency is improved to a certain extent.

The invention describes a generic framework for hand-eye calibration of camera-guided apparatuses, wherein the rigid 3D transformation between the apparatus and the camera must be determined. An example of such an apparatus is a camera-guided robot.

In a parking assistance device for moving a vehicle from a current location to a scheduled parking location and parking the vehicle at the scheduled parking location, parking information indicated by a parking assistance code includes obstacle information which is information about obstacles in a parking area, and target location information which is information about a target parking location. A route generation unit is configured to generate a parking route from a current location to a scheduled parking location that is set to the target parking location indicated by the target location information, while avoiding the obstacles indicated by the obstacle information.
