An image device for generating depth images includes at least two image capturers and a rotating device. When the rotating device rotates the at least two image capturers, multiple images captured by the at least two image capturers are utilized to generate a depth image, wherein a view angle corresponding to the depth image is not less than a view angle of each image capturer of the at least two image capturers.

A calibration method of an image device includes at least two image capturing units included in the image device capturing at least two corresponding images; a processor executing distortion correction on the at least two corresponding images, extracting a plurality of feature points of a predetermined number of planes of an object from the at least two corresponding images, classifying the plurality of feature points according to each plane of the predetermined number of planes to accordingly calculate a point-to-point homography matrix corresponding to the each plane respectively to generate a rotation/translation matrix corresponding to the at least two image capturing units, generating a final rotation matrix corresponding to each image capturing unit of the at least two image capturing units according to the rotation/translation matrix, storing the final rotation matrix in a memory, and calibrating the each image capturing unit according to the final rotation matrix.

An image processing device includes a rotation processor and an image processor. The rotation processor receives an input image and generates a temporary image according to the input image. The image processor is coupled to the rotation processor and outputs a processed image according to the temporary image, wherein the image processor has a predetermined image processing width, a width of the input image is larger than the predetermined image processing width, and a width of the temporary image is less than the predetermined image processing width.

An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit for picking up an image of a subject and generating a plurality of pickup images, an orientation obtaining unit for setting an image pickup position at a time of picking up one pickup image among the plurality of generated pickup images as a reference and obtaining an orientation related to the pickup image, an image combining unit for combining the plurality of generated pickup images and generating a panoramic image, a representative position calculation unit for calculating a representative position in a horizontal direction in the generated panoramic image, an orientation calculation unit for calculating an orientation at the calculated representative position on the basis of characteristic information of the image pickup unit, the calculated representative position, and the obtained orientation, and a recording control unit for recording the calculated orientation while being associated with the generated panoramic image.

A digital image of the object is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database as part of a computer-based game. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access content information associated with the identified object and interact with the game based on the content information.

The invention includes a print terminal that prints input image data and outputs the input image data as a print image, and an image storage server that is connected to the print terminal via a public network, and that stores the image data sent from the print terminal and user identification information. The print terminal creates, out of the print image, user identification information based on photographing location information and photographing date/time information included as data in a user identification information image specified by the user. In a case where the print terminal receives a re-input of image data of the user identification information image, the print terminal resends user identification information to the image storage server. In a case where an image directory including the resent user identification information internally exists, the image storage server sends the image data in the image directory to the print terminal.

An electronic device associates first information and at least a first portion of a first image, and uses a second image that includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image to access the associated first information.

One or more image processing apparatuses, image processing systems, control methods and storage mediums for use with same are provided herein. At least one embodiment of an image processing apparatus includes: a scanning unit that scans multiple original documents placed on a platen glass and generates image data; an acquisition unit that acquires pieces of image data of the respective original documents from the image data generated by the scanning unit; a decision unit that decides on a page order based on pieces of geometric information of the pieces of image data acquired by the acquisition unit; and a file creation unit that converts the pieces of image data of the respective original documents into one file in the page order decided by the decision unit and stores the one file.

Provided herein are exemplary embodiments for generating a telelocation, including capturing visual content representing a real world location by a device associated with a user, automatically associating a geographic location with the captured visual content, automatically associating orientation data with the captured visual content, transmitting a data bundle comprising the captured visual content, the geographic location and the orientation data to a server, notifying a remote user about the data bundle on the server, in response to receiving an acceptance from the remote user, transmitting the data bundle from the server to a device associated with the remote user to create a virtual rendering of the real world location.

A digital image of the object is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database as part of a computer-based game. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access content information associated with the identified object and interact with the game based on the content information.
