A print data storage apparatus generates preview images for several pages in advance. A print output apparatus displays an outline of print data using the preview images to prompt a user to select print data. When the user requests further information of the print data, the print output apparatus obtains print data from the print data storage apparatus and further generates a preview image.

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a system (100) for handling variations in a mark (110) printed by a group (105) of industrial printers (101). The system (100) obtains images of the printed mark (110) printed by each of the printers (101) in the group (105). The system (100) creates a composite image from the obtained images. The printed marks (110) appear as a repeating pattern in the composite image. The system (100) compares the printed marks (110) in the composite image to each other or to another mark. The system (100) detects variations with a first resolution in the printed marks (110) in the composite image as a result of the comparison. The system (100) creates an augmented image in which the detected variations are augmented to a second resolution. The first resolution is lower than the second resolution.

Systems and techniques are described for cataloging objects in a property using a drone. In some implementations, a system monitors a property that includes a drone configured to survey the property. A control unit accesses data identifying items and provides instructions to the drone to locate the items. The control unit receives data identifying a location of a portion of the items, image data associated with each identified items, and data indicating remaining items not located. In response, the data identifying the remaining items and data indicating that the drone did not locate the remaining portion of the items are transmitted to a client device. The control unit receives data indicating a location within the property of a first group of the remaining portion of the items and data indicating that a second group of the remaining portion of the items are not located within the property.

An image processing apparatus includes a moving image accepting unit, a detecting unit, an image extracting unit, a screen creating unit, a selection accepting unit, and an image output unit. The screen creating unit creates an operation screen for each of the scenes. The operation screen displays frame images in a list. The frame images constitute each of the scenes extracted by the image extracting unit. The selection accepting unit accepts a selection of a representative image in the operation screen created by the screen creating unit. The representative image represents the scenes among the frame images displayed in the list. The image output unit outputs the representative image accepted by the selection accepting unit.

A display device includes: a display; a base screen image storage that stores a base screen image; a resolution judgment portion that judges whether or not the display resolution is equal to a reference resolution; an image creator that creates a first image by enlarging or reducing the base screen image to the display resolution while sacrificing image quality for speed and creates a second image by enlarging or reducing the same to the display resolution while sacrificing speed for image quality; a second image storage that stores the second image; a display processor that causes the display to display the first or second image upon screen switch; and a screen judgment portion that judges which screen a screen displayed on the display is, a screen deserving or not deserving for a second image to be stored, with reference to reference information.

An imaging apparatus includes: a display unit configured to display on a display a live image of a subject and previously captured images; an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of the subject; and a recording unit configured to record in a recording medium the captured image of the subject which has been captured by the image capturing unit and the previously captured images in association with disposition information which includes a display position of the captured image of the subject and display positions of the previously captured images.

Provided are a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a print image control device, and a control method of the print image control device capable of reducing time required for an operation to adjust a position of a print image, and of improving productivity. A CPU performs part specification command input processing in which a command is input to specify a part of a photographic image captured by a camera, characteristic identification processing that identifies a characteristic of fabric on the basis of the command input by the part specification command input processing, generated graphic generation processing that generates a generated graphic relating to the characteristic identified by the characteristic identification processing, and display control processing that controls a display such that the generated graphic generated by the generated graphic generation processing is displayed along with the photographic image and a print image.

An image reading system including a blank paper removal function includes a preview display processing unit configured to preview-display at least a portion of an image among images of a read document in a selectable state on a display unit, a display switching unit configured to switch a display mode of an image to a selected state in which a blank paper removal candidate or a non-removal candidate is selected when the image is selected by an operation of an input unit, a data generation unit, and a blank paper removal level setting unit. The data generation unit generates reading data based on remaining image data obtained by removing image data of a blank paper removal target including the confirmed blank paper removal candidate from image data of the document when the selected state is confirmed by an operation of an input unit.

In accordance with an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an image reading section configured to read an original document and generate image data, the image data corresponding to the original document or a part of the original document. The image processing apparatus further includes a control panel including a document area for displaying a plurality of images, the plurality of images including an image which corresponds to the image data. The control panel is configured to receive input designating the image corresponding to the image data and at least one other image from the plurality of images. The image processing apparatus also includes a controller, which in response to an instruction, generates an aggregation image including the image corresponding to the image data and the at least one other image from the plurality of images.

A method for proactively creating an image product includes capturing an image of an object in a first environment by a device, storing a library of personalized products each characterized by a product type, automatically recognizing the object in the image as having a product type associated with the library of personalized products, automatically creating a design for the personalized product of the product type using personalized content, automatically displaying the design of the personalized product of the product type incorporating the selected photo in the first environment on the device, and manufacturing a physical product based on the design of the personalized product.
