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.

An image generation apparatus includes: a memory; and one or more processors configured to receive moving object-related information regarding a moving object from the moving object having identification information that is recognizable from the outside of the moving object, receive, from the usage terminal, usage terminal information regarding a usage terminal and imaging data including an image of the moving object captured by the usage terminal configured to image the moving object, specify the moving object based on the identification information included in the imaging data, generate superimposition image data based on the moving object-related information of the specified moving object and the usage terminal information of the usage terminal having output the imaging data including the image of the moving object, the superimposition image data being an image data to be displayed on a display unit of the usage terminal while being superimposed on the imaging data.

A method and an apparatus to provide a service using a sensor and image recognition in a portable terminal that supports Augmented Reality (AR). The method includes determining whether the portable terminal is parallel to ground using an acceleration sensor. When the portable terminal is parallel to the ground, either a map including nearby Point Of Interest (POI) information or constellation information is displayed.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for marking multimedia files with file-marks and manipulating multimedia file(s) with the help of file-marks. In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method to link searchable keywords and tags to each of the file-marks. Each user of the multimedia file can define an index of file-marks with associated keywords and tags. The user of the multimedia file is provided with an option to play highlights created by a chosen set of users. One or more actions are initiated at the time of file-marking, associating the keywords and tags with a file-mark or at the time of manipulating the file-marked multimedia file. It also provides a method for facilitating file-marking one or more media files by one or more external file-marking device(s). Further, disclosure presents methods to efficiently encode and decode a multimedia file with highlights.

Technical solutions are described for generating an augmented reality map of an environment. An example method includes obtaining, by a 2D scanner, a 2D scan set including 2D coordinates of points in the environment. The method further includes capturing and displaying, by a portable computing device, a live video stream of a field of view, the portable computing device being fixed at a relative position with respect to the 2D scanner. The method further includes displaying a selection marker overlaid on the live video stream at a location in response to a user input. The method further includes projecting a beam of visible light on an object point in the field of view, corresponding to the location on the display of the selection marker. The method further includes receiving, via the portable computing device, a selection input and in response generating and storing an annotation at the object point.

An electronic device includes a camera, a location sensor, a display, and a controller. The controller acquires a database including name information of tangible objects, first location information indicating locations of the tangible objects, and first feature point information related to feature points of the tangible objects. The controller generates image recognition information on the basis of a captured image captured by the camera, the image recognition information including distance information indicating a distance from the electronic device to a particular subject and second feature point information related to feature points of the particular subject. The controller identifies a name of the particular subject on the basis of the image recognition information, the database, and second location information indicating a location of the electronic device acquired by the location sensor. The controller causes an overlay image, yielded by overlaying the name on the captured image, to be displayed on the display.

This video signal processing apparatus includes a signal processing unit that performs tone control on an input video signal having a linear characteristic and a control unit that blends two tone curve characteristics arbitrarily selected from among a plurality of tone curve characteristics prepared in advance and sets the blended tone curve characteristics for the tone control of the signal processing unit.

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.

The present invention is to provide a remote terminal, and a method of remote instruction to easily understand not only a three-dimensional effect but also a relationship between the screen display and the actual real space. A remote terminal 100 receiving an instruction from an instruction terminal 10 while sharing a screen, takes an image, transmits the taken image to the instruction terminal 10, displays a three dimensional shape to understand three dimensional space of the taken image, and displays an instruction icon received from the instruction terminal 10 for the three dimensional shape.
