The embodied invention is a multi-step process that creates a memorabilia item of a vehicle that is at a local gathering or event. The invention includes a mobile photographic studio that is adapted for use in an environment such as a parking lot, or grass field, or indoor facility environment. The mobile photographic studio utilizes tents with special controlled lighting and photographic enhancing features that which control the lighting and reflectivity of unwanted images of the vehicle. The overall process includes transmitting a raw vehicle photograph to a post processing methods system that removes any minor issues. Finally, the photograph is incorporated in a memorabilia item that is sold to a customer.

A seamless interface with touchscreen functionality and the method of manufacture are disclosed. An apparatus utilizing the seamless interface with touchscreen functionality, and a method of manufacturing the apparatus are similarly disclosed. The seamless interface has a front member, adhesive means, and a support member with an opening. The apparatus includes a touchscreen device, a rear member, and the seamless interface. The rear member secures the touchscreen device in the opening of the support member, which thereby contacts the front member of the seamless interface. Partially laminating the front member with the support member having an opening utilizing an adhesive means creates the seamless interface. This design enables the touchscreen functionality of the touchscreen device placed behind the front member to transfer through the front member, thereby allowing a user to communicate with the touchscreen device through the seamless interface.

A system and method are provided for photographing vehicles in a deployable photobooth structure that avoids corner lighting issues common with angular shaped photobooths. The walls of the photobooth are made of an opaque fabric or panels. A frame supports photographic lighting, as well as rods from which the fabric that forms the walls is hung. The photobooth itself may be hung from a ceiling and deployed downward or retracted upward to a ceiling. The photobooth may also be mobile and used in outdoor settings. If not hung, vertical support legs may be used to support the frame above the floor or ground. Low volume car photos are obtained where a user walks about the inside perimeter of the photobooth and takes a series of photographs or video. The images or video may then be manipulated by computer to provide seamless reflection free 360 degree images.

An image processing apparatus having a photographing space and an image processing space, comprising a first display unit disposed in the photographing space that displays a course selection screen, a shooting unit that acquires shot images of a user as an object, a second display unit disposed in the image processing space, the second display displaying an adjustment screen for adjusting an identification photograph image which is any one shot image to a user having selected a first course and finished shooting and displaying an editing screen for editing the shot images without displaying the adjustment screen to a user having selected a second course and finished shooting, an adjusting unit that adjusts the identification photograph image according to a user operation to the adjusting screen, and an editing unit that edits the shot images to creates edited images according to a user operation to the editing screen.

An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for photographing an image in a photo booth employing a light-emitting backdrop. For example, the apparatus comprises a photo booth including a housing having an entrance on one side with movable closure member to minimize encroachment of exterior light, a seat, a first white light source facing the subject(s) for emitting a first selected light intensity upon the subjects, a second white light emitting source facing generally the rear of the subject(s) so as to provide a light-emitting photographic backdrop, and a device for receiving a selected form of payment, or alternatively, for activating the apparatus without payment. In addition, the apparatus includes a photography unit comprising a selected camera, a program-controlled apparatus, a printer, and the first light source, for taking a digital photograph of objects within a selected frame of reference.

A medical self-service kiosk. The kiosk includes a housing, a display, a turntable, and a printer. The display is disposed on a front side of the housing for accepting instructions from a user. An output tray is configured as an opening on the front side of the housing to receive a print generated by the printer in response to an instruction from a user using the display. A panel, located on the front side of the housing, is moveable between a closed position and an open position to access the interior of the housing. The turntable and printer are disposed within the interior of the housing and are rotatable about an axis, such that a printer's supply area is accessible by a user when the panel is in the open position.

A photograph sticker creating apparatus includes an image pickup device that generates a shot image, a storage device that stores a plurality of composite-use images to be combined with shot images, a compositing processor that combines the shot image and the composite-use image to generate a composite image, a printing device that prints the composite image on a sticker sheet, a display processor that generates and displays a selection screen allowing the user to select a composite-use image from a plurality of composite-use images, and a direction receiving device that receives selection of composite-use image performed by the user on the selection screen. The display processor combines a predetermined portrait image with the selected composite-use image and does not combine the portrait image with a composite-use image other than the selected composite-use image, to generate and display the selection screen.

A shooting processing section shoots a user as an object, and an editing processing section allows the user to edit a shot image obtained by shooting. An input receiving section receives, a plurality of times, selection of manipulation processing to be applied to the entire shot image, and a manipulation processing section generates, when the selection of manipulation processing has been received this time, an image after manipulation processing that is the entire shot image to which the manipulation processing received this time is applied over the manipulation processing, selection of which has been received previous time. The present invention can be applied to a photo sticker creating device, for example.

A wheel image acquisition assembly includes a base, a motor assembly and a camera module. One end of the base is for being connected to a support body in a wheel positioning apparatus, and the other end of the base is for being connected to the camera module. The motor assembly is mounted in the base and includes a motor for driving the camera module to rotate around the horizontal axis so as to adjust a pitch angle of the camera module. The camera module is used for acquiring image of wheels so as to determine the position of the wheels relative to a vehicle. The wheel image acquisition assembly can drive the camera module to rotate by means of the motor, so as to adjust the visual field range of the camera module, which is more flexible, and facilitates wheel alignment positioning in a complex environment.
