An information processing apparatus includes a first developing unit configured to develop an image, a second developing unit by which a developed image better than a developed image developed by the first developing unit is obtained, an estimation unit configured to estimate an improvement effect of a quality of the developed image obtained using the second developing unit instead of the first developing unit, and a notification unit configured to notify content based on the improvement effect estimated by the estimation unit.

The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for generating an automatic virtual photo album. The system receives a signal. The signal is configured to enable a rear camera and a front camera of a device to click a set of images. The set of images comprise a subset of front images and a subset of rear images. The subset of front images is further analysed. Based on the analysis, the system extracts a photographer mood. The system further links the photographer mood with the subset of rear images. Upon the linking, the system generates an automatic photo album.

Provided are an image processing apparatus in which it is possible to appropriately correct an image at a more appropriate timing, an image processing method, a program causing a computer to perform the image processing method, and a recording medium in which the program is recorded. The image processing apparatus includes an image input receiving unit that receives an input of an image captured by a user, a correction rule setting unit that sets a correction rule for the input image in accordance with supplementary information regarding the input image in a case where the image input receiving unit receives the input of the image, and a correction suggestion unit that suggests, to the user, correction of the image, to which the correction rule is applied, in a case where the correction rule setting unit sets the correction rule.

A server computing device can execute the steps of (1) managing a plurality of album artwork templates, wherein each album artwork template of the plurality of album artwork templates includes a plurality of entries, and each entry of the plurality of entries defines a respective manner by which a respective album artwork image is to be generated, (2) receiving, from a client device, a request for an album artwork image, wherein the request includes: a first identifier that corresponds to a particular image of an artist, a second identifier that corresponds to a particular album artwork template of the plurality of album artwork templates, and locale information that corresponds to a particular entry of the particular album artwork template, and (3) generating the album artwork image according to the respective manner defined by the particular entry, wherein the album artwork image is based at least in part on the particular image of the artist.

A server computing device can execute the steps of (1) managing a plurality of album artwork templates, wherein each album artwork template of the plurality of album artwork templates includes a plurality of entries, and each entry of the plurality of entries defines a respective manner by which a respective album artwork image is to be generated, (2) receiving, from a client device, a request for an album artwork image, wherein the request includes: a first identifier that corresponds to a particular image of an artist, a second identifier that corresponds to a particular album artwork template of the plurality of album artwork templates, and locale information that corresponds to a particular entry of the particular album artwork template, and (3) generating the album artwork image according to the respective manner defined by the particular entry, wherein the album artwork image is based at least in part on the particular image of the artist.

Techniques and systems are described for generating location based photo discovery suggestions. Generally, photo discovery data is generated and utilized to form discovery suggestions that identify suggested locations for capturing photographs, as well as other capture-related information that is presented to assist a user in capturing photographs of interest to the user. A discovery suggestion, for example, not only identifies a location of potential photographic interest to a user, but also includes information such as camera settings and suggested camera equipment for capturing photos at the location. A discovery suggestion thus guides a user as to how to maximize a likelihood that a digital image captured by the user includes subject matter of interest to the user and is also visually pleasing.

Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage and processing claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. To aid in damage analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images of undamaged items and cost estimate information for repairing previously analyzed damages to similar items. Further still, the server may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.

Aspects of the disclosures provide for configuring and transferring multiple data files including image data files using a mobile computing device. A mobile computing device may acquire multiple data files including image files from disparate sources and transmit them to an enhanced image processing server. The enhanced image processing server may analyze the received image files using various techniques. To aid in analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images or other reference data of previously analyzed similar data. Further still, the enhanced image processing server may transmit a result of the analysis back to a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device itself may also analyze the image files.

A shooting method includes: in a state in which a remote connection for sharing a shooting preview interface is established with the second terminal, receiving and displaying a first preview interface of the second terminal sent by the second terminal; receiving a first input performed by a user; and outputting first target shooting data in response to the first input, where the first target shooting data includes partial or all image information of the first preview interface, and the first target shooting data is a video or an image.

A photographing control device capable of storing images to be stored at appropriate timings is provided. The analysis result acquiring unit acquires an analysis result of an image obtained by photographing an object by the photographing device. The status acquisition unit acquires a detection result obtained by detecting the status of the object by the sensor. The index determination unit determines the degree of these indexes for each of a plurality of indexes including those relating to the object based on the image analysis result and the detection result of the state of the object. The evaluation value calculation unit calculates an evaluation value for evaluating the stored value of the image using the degree of the index. When the evaluation value exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the image storage control unit 15 controls so as to store an image.
