According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a scanner and a control unit. The scanner reads an image formed on a sheet, generates image data at a reading resolution, then stores the image data in a storage unit at a recording resolution. The control unit combines a reading direction image with the stored image data to generate synthesized image data, then records the synthesized image data in the storage unit. The control unit determines a position and size for the reading direction image in a synthesized image corresponding to the synthesized image data based upon the reading resolution and recording resolution.

A system and method for interactive printed media are disclosed in which a mobile or wearable computing device has an application that captures an image of a piece of printed media and associates a link to the piece of printed media using a backend component to make the piece of printed media interactive. The system and method may be used to generate a piece of printed media that is interactive that may be sent to third parties or to make an existing piece of printed media interactive.

A method may include: receiving facial image of the patient that depicts the patient's teeth; receiving a 3D model of the patient's teeth; determining color palette of the depiction of the patient's teeth; coding 3D model of the patient's teeth based on attributes of the 3D model; providing the 3D model, the color palette, and the coded 3D model to a neural network; processing the 3D model, the color palette, and the coded 3D model by the neural network to generate a processed image of the patient's teeth; simulating specular highlights on the processed image of the patient's teeth; and inserting the processed image of the patient's teeth into a mouth opening of the facial image.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for rendering a combined image. In use, two or more source images including at least one strobe image and at least one ambient image are loaded. A pixel-level correction is estimated for at least one of the two or more source images based on a pixel level correction function. At least one pixel of the two or more source images is color-corrected based on the pixel-level correction. A first blend weight associated with the two or more source images is initialized, and a first combined image from the two or more source images is rendered based on the color-correction and the first blend weight. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also presented.

A method for displaying an image is applied to an electronic device including a first camera and a second camera. The method includes: acquiring a first real-time image collected by the first camera and a second real-time image collected by the second camera, the first real-time image being different from the second real-time image; determining a target object in the first real-time image; generating a real-time virtual image corresponding to the target object; and displaying the real-time virtual image on the second real-time image.

A method of operating an image forming apparatus includes obtaining first data in a defined format, the first data convertible to form an image; converting the first data into a first temporary image representing first information. A first image printable as a first printout is output, the first image resulting from combining the first temporary image with the first data.

A work machine can include an image capturing device configured to capture an image of at least a portion of an environment adjacent to the work machine. The work machine can also include processing circuitry to receive the image from the image capturing device, generate an overlay that depicts a work area for the work machine, superimpose the overlay over the image to generate an enhanced image of the work area, and provide the enhanced image to a display device.

An apparatus and a method for generating a high-quality one point color image are provided. A composite image generation unit that generates a composite image by executing composition processing using a color image and a monochrome image captured from different viewpoints, and an output image generation unit that generates a one point color image in which only a partial area of the image is colored are included. The output image generation unit generates a one point color image in which a colorization area in the one point color image is set as an area to which pixel values of the composite image are output, and a non-colorization area is set as an area to which pixel values of the monochrome image are output. The colorization area is selected by either user selection or automatic selection. For example, user-specified area information, subject distance information, and the like are used for the execution.

An image processing apparatus obtains a plurality of captured images captured by an image capturing unit under different conditions, performs HDR development of the plurality of captured images to obtain a plurality of HDR images, generates composition information for compositing the plurality of HDR images, using a plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of captured images, the plurality of images being not influenced by or less influenced by tone processing resulting from the HDR development, and composites the plurality of HDR images using the composition information.
