A method, and corresponding electronic device, receives, at a user interface of the electronic device, a command to capture one or more images. An imager of the electronic device initiates capturing the one or more images. One or more sensors of the electronic device, optionally in conjunction with one or more processors, identify a source of the command to capture the one or more images. The one or more processors can then apply a digital data identifier to the one or more images, the digital data identifier identifying the source of the command to capture the one or more images.

Systems and methods for processing digital image data representing multiple views of an object of interest use a sparse set of digital images along with object of interest profiling to provide a photo gallery for evidence-related workflows. Digital images are related to each other on the basis of common objects of interest represented in the images and their orientations within the views depicted in each image. Object of interest profile datasets, including spatial orientation data, enable efficient tracking of photography sessions in which a set of prescribed views of an object of interest are meant to be captured, as well as object-orientation-based photo gallery navigation. The systems recognize of a set of physical gestures that enable a user to intuitively navigate among digital images depicting different views of an object of interest based on how they were physically related to each other when captured.

A system for collection and distribution of curated tagged content includes a server or collection of servers in communication with one or more networks. The servers receive moment files generated by recording users via recording devices; each moment file is associated with a tagged object (e.g., physical or virtual) and includes associated media content. Each moment file is associated with recorder-side filtering via which a potential reader may be defined as an eligible or ineligible reader of the moment file. The server stores the received moment files to memory and receives indications of reading devices near an associated tagged object. The server receives indications of reading devices near a tagged object associated with a moment file; for those reading users determined eligible to read a moment file, the server forwards to their associated reading devices associated media content for display in response to engagement by the reading user.

The present invention relates to a portable directional antenna which is equipped with a camera which is integrated into the housing of the directional antenna. In addition to the conventional documentation of the position-finding information, this integrated, installed camera makes it possible, by means of the directional antenna function, to also optically document the surroundings of the interference source with a variable level of detail, for example by way long-range or short-range capture. By way of the optical additional information thus obtained, the present invention provides a simple, but nonetheless very effective, enhanced documentation option for interference sources and the surroundings thereof. Thus, during the search for radio-frequency interferences, no separate camera for capturing image information has to be brought along, and this increases the comfort for a user. The present invention further relates to a portable measurement arrangement and to a method for measuring an electromagnetic signal emitted by a source.

In an image processing apparatus that performs interval moving image capturing, interval image capturing and lighten compositing are sequentially performed, whereby an effective interval moving image can be obtained without advance techniques and cumbersome procedure that have been required for providing special effects to moving images.

An image pickup apparatus includes a specifying unit that specifies, as a transfer target, an image to be transferred to an external device from among images recorded in a recording medium, a transfer control unit that controls the specified image to be transferred to the external device, a display control unit that displays a predetermined screen for inputting an instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target, and a restriction unit that associates, in a case where the instruction for restricting the deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input via the predetermined screen, information for restricting deletion with the image specified as the transfer target after inputting the instruction, and associates the information for restricting the deletion with images previously specified as the transfer target before inputting the instruction.

A method, system and computer program product for facilitating access to a resource represented in an image at a later time. A screen capture of an image displayed on a computing device is implemented. Metadata, including the resource location, resource navigation and positional metadata, regarding the source data of the screen capture image is generated. The generated metadata is then embedded into the screen capture image. The screen capture image with the embedded metadata is then transmitted to a different user. By embedding the metadata into the screen capture image, the user receiving the screen capture image will be able to reproduce the state of the source environment when the image was captured using the embedded metadata thereby opening the resource represented in the image.

All image capturing apparatus includes an interval shooting section (51) that performs an interval shooting process, a lighten compositing section (54) that performs a lighten compositing process using images captured one by one by the interval shooting process, and a composite-image-in-progress displaying section (55) that, when a first operation is performed, causes a composite image in a first memory area, which is used as a compositing buffer for the lighten compositing process, to be displayed on an LCD monitor without causing the interval shooting process to be stopped.

A photograph is processed using signal image comparison to determine whether it is a substantial duplicate of another photo. The camera alerts the user when the photo just obtained is very similar to one that was previously taken, and then based on camera settings either offers to delete the picture from the camera's memory for the user or deletes automatically. The camera may determine whether two photos are nearly identical by a pixel by pixel comparison.
