An imaging tool creates a first image of a scene and a second image of the scene taken after the first image. An RF tag reader receives data from an RF tag associated with the scene. A 3D representation of a change in the scene is created based on the first image, the second image, and the data from the RF tag.

A time-shift image distribution system includes an image server and a time-shift image requesting apparatus. The image server includes a first communication unit configured to carry out communications with the time-shift image requesting apparatus, an image database configured to store image data of captured images in association with meta information for image data of a captured image matching search-condition information, and an image providing unit configured to provide the image data of the captured image detected by the searching unit to the time-shift image requesting apparatus. The time-shift image requesting apparatus includes a second communication unit configured to carry out communications with the image server, and a unit configured to send a search request including information representing an imaging time and information for identifying a subject image as search-condition information to the image server via the second communication unit.

A document management facility may process volumes of physical documents for digital imaging. The document management facility may utilize robotic apparatus to perform the various functions for processing the documents, which may include document intake, document storage, document digitization, and/or document removal. Digital versions of the documents may be accessed with a document management system.

An electronic device and a method for processing an image by the electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention are provided. The method may comprise: generating password information for a first image using security information of a user; changing the first image to a second image using the generated password information; and transmitting the second image and the password information in response to a transmission request of the first image. Various other embodiments may be available.

According to one aspect, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing unit and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the apparatus to obtain a set of captured still images captured with a camera, detect at least one face in the captured still images, and cause display of the detected at least one face on a display providing a live viewfinder feed of a scene to be captured as an additional display element while providing the live viewfinder feed on the display.

Enable image based communication between mobile devices and servers. Propagating an image entity to a specific device/user and or to a plurality of devices/user enabling the people networks to be viable. The digital image entity comes into existence at a specified time, exists for a desired duration of time, and ceases to exist at a set time. A virtual network of people joined together for a specific purpose such as social networks, professional networks, enterprise networks, family networks, friends networks and other networks. Each user in such people networks has one or more profiles and is enabled to form multiple people networks. Each image entity each further comprises of one or more sub image entities that are connected to a specific image entity by their own sub relationships. The visual experience is formed by viewing a series of super images that are refreshed and updated at an optimal frequency.

The invention relates to capturing a still or moving image as well as object position and displacement data for the image, storing the image and the data as a dimension extractable object, and utilizing the dimension extractable object.

A considerable amount of time was required for the completion of an objectization process on image data. A time predictor in a processing device predicts the time required for each of a local processing device and remote processing devices to convert image data to objectized data. A device selector selects, based on the predicted time, the local processing device or one of the remote processing devices as a processing device that acquires the objectized data derived from the image data within a short period of time, and instructs the selected processing device to perform the objectization process. A data manager manages the image data that is to be transmitted from a data transceiver to the selected processing device, and the objectized data that is to be received by the data transceiver from the selected processing device.

Methods and systems for copying media. A telescopic and swivel configured pole includes an arm that supports a camera for acquiring an image of media. A flat bed is configured with markers that facilitate imaging and a detection of the DPI of the image of the media located on the flat bed within a boundary of the markers. The pole is adjustable moveable in a telescopic and/or swivel manner for an acquisition and reproduction of the image in a dimensional scale representative of the actual scale of the media.

A server system includes: a reception section that receives captured image information and metadata from a terminal device connected to the server system through a network, the captured image information being information about a captured image captured using the terminal device, and the metadata being added to the captured image; an insertion image selection section that selects an insertion image based on the received metadata, the insertion image being an image differing from the acquired captured image; and an image set generation section that generates image set information in which the insertion image is inserted into the captured image information.
