A method of capturing instrument data using a communications device includes sending an actuation signal to a camera to take a photograph of at least one instrument, one of either transmitting or receiving a trigger message between the communications device and the at least one instrument, storing the photograph in a memory on the communications device, determining associated information for the photograph, and transmitting the photograph, associated information and user information to a network. A communications device has a camera having an actuator, at least one communications link, a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions that cause the processor to: send an actuation signal to the camera to take a photograph of an instrument when a user activates the actuator; send a trigger message to the instrument to save instrument data; store the photograph in the memory with associated information about the photo including user information; and transmit at least the photo, associated information, and the user information to a remote location.

Techniques including obtaining a first location of a vehicle, the vehicle having two or more cameras disposed about the vehicle, each camera associated with a physical camera pose, capturing, by a first camera, a first image of a first area in a first field of view, associating the first image with the first location of the vehicle when the first image was captured, moving the vehicle in a direction so that the first area is in an expected second field of view of a second camera, wherein the second camera is not capturing images, obtaining a second location of the vehicle, determining a temporal camera pose based on a first physical camera pose, a second physical camera pose, and the second location of the vehicle, and rendering a view of the first area from the expected second field of view of the second camera based on the first image.

An electronic apparatus capable of communicating with an image processing server, the electronic apparatus including transmitting means for transmitting, to the image processing server, an image and information indicating an image processing parameter to be used when the image processing server performs image processing on the image, and controlling means for controlling display of a guidance indicating that an image obtained by applying the image processing by the image processing server to the image is to be checked on another apparatus from the electronic apparatus.

An apparatus includes a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to: display, on a screen, a live view image obtained by executing imaging processing; set a guideline in response to an operation performed by a user; perform control so as to display, on the screen, a pattern image corresponding to the set guideline while superimposing the pattern image on the live view image; generate an image obtained by the imaging processing in accordance with a shooting instruction; and store, in a storage unit, the generated image in association with attribute information related to the set guideline.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one camera, and at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one camera, wherein the at least one processor is configured to acquire data for a designated time using the at least one camera, and generate a plurality of contents based on the acquired data, and at least one content of the plurality of the contents has a different type.

A server includes a photo filter module with instructions executed by a processor to identify when a client device captures a photograph. Photograph filters are selected based upon attributes of the client device and attributes of the photograph. The photograph filters are supplied to the client device.

A document reading device includes: an image capturing member that captures an image of a document; a placement portion that is disposed below the image capturing member and that has a boundary line between multiple surfaces at a position at which the boundary line is covered by the document when the document has a maximum size that the image capturing member is capable of imaging and the document is placed on the placement portion; and a document reading member that reads the document that is placed on the placement portion.

An image reading apparatus includes a reading member that reads an image of a document that is transported, a discharge portion onto which the document that is read by the reading member is discharged, a placement portion that is installed above the discharge portion, an object being placed on the placement portion such that at least a part of an upper surface of the reading member is covered, and an image capturing member that is installed above the placement portion and that captures an image of the object that is placed on the placement portion.

A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.

A visible light sensor may be configured to sense environmental characteristics of a space using an image of the space. The visible light sensor may be controlled in one or more modes, including a daylight glare sensor mode, a daylighting sensor mode, a color sensor mode, and/or an occupancy/vacancy sensor mode. In the daylight glare sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to decrease or eliminate glare within a space. In the daylighting sensor mode and the color sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to provide a preferred amount of light and color temperature, respectively, within the space. In the occupancy/vacancy sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to detect an occupancy/vacancy condition within the space and adjust one or more control devices according to the occupation or vacancy of the space. The visible light sensor may be configured to protect the privacy of users within the space via software, a removable module, and/or a special sensor.
