A device, system and method for decoding. A noisy version of an error correction codeword may be received, for example, over a noisy communication channel or retrieved from a memory device (e.g. a flash memory device). One or more symbol probabilities may be transformed, from an initial domain to a transformed domain, the symbol probabilities being one or more individual symbols of the received error correction codeword were transmitted as one or more symbols in candidate transmitted error correction codewords. In the transformed domain, a plurality of the transformed symbol probabilities may be composed to generate a combined coset probability defining the likelihood that the transmitted error correction codeword is associated with the individual symbols belongs to a particular one of a plurality of candidate cosets. A plurality of the coset probabilities for the plurality of respective cosets may be inverse transformed from the transformed domain to the initial domain.

A method controls display of one or more visually perceptible tags in association with a video. The method receives a first signal from a user input control device while the video is being presented via a display device without any visually perceptible tags. The first signal is generated by the user input control device in response to activation of a control associated with a function of causing the display device to present the video with the at least one visually perceptible tag. In response to receiving the first signal, the method causes the display device to present the video with at least one visually perceptible tag. After causing the display device to present the video with the at least one visually perceptible tag, the method changes the function associated with the control to thereafter cause the display device to present the video without any visually perceptible tags.

The present disclosure relates to a an electronic device such as a digital camera 300 that includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment a digital camera keep track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a delete all transferred images which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, a deletion criteria is used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

A method includes receiving, at a device, a plurality of image frames corresponding to a video stream. The plurality of image frames include a first image frame having a first resolution and a second image frame having a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution. The method also includes detecting, at the device, a trigger by analyzing the second image frame. The method further includes designating, at the device, the first image frame as an action frame based on the trigger.

A monitoring system includes a plurality of image-capturing apparatuses each including an event detector that executes on a corresponding captured image at least one of a plurality of processing algorithms for detection of a monitor event, and a transmission controller that outputs to a network only a processing result of the executed processing algorithm when a monitor event is not detected and that outputs to the network at least the captured image when a monitor event is detected; and a management apparatus managing the plurality of image-capturing apparatuses via the network and including an event determination unit that determines occurrence of a monitor event in accordance with the received processing result and a record controller that records the received captured image.

Modular digital camera systems, such as modular digital still and motion cameras are disclosed. Individual modules may be removed from the system and replaced, such as to benefit from upgraded technology, while preserving the remaining modules in the system. The modules may be disassembled and reconstructed to convert the physical form of the camera, such as between still configurations, motion configurations, ENG configurations, DSLR configurations and studio configurations. The modules may be used to add wireless capabilities employing standard wireless protocols to allow a variety of devices to control or communicate with the modular digital camera system. The wireless capabilities may also be used to present a soft interface for camera control to the user, exposing a variety of variables and controls to the user that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to access.

A file managing method for a digital apparatus includes (a) establishing a folder corresponding to a file type generated in an operational mode of the digital apparatus, and (b) storing a file according to its file type to the folder corresponding to the file type established in step (a).

One or more image processing apparatuses, one or more control methods therefor, and one or more storage mediums for use with same are provided herein. In at least one embodiment provided herein, an image processing apparatus includes a determining unit configured to selectively determine from a plurality of data formats a data format of still image data generated from un-development moving image data which may have a readjustable focal position, an instructing unit configured to instruct to output the still image data, and a generating unit configured to generate from the un-development moving image data the still image data in the data format determined by the determining unit in a case where the instructing unit instructs to output the still image data.

A system for resizing image files includes an FPGA including an interface controller operable to receive a plurality of image files through an interface, a computing kernel controller, and a memory controller. The FPGA also includes an interconnect coupled to the computing kernel controller and the memory controller and a plurality of computing kernels coupled to the interconnect. The system also includes a memory coupled to the FPGA.

A method and apparatus for processing metadata of an image are disclosed. The metadata is associated with the image and an applet views the metadata in response to selection of the image. The metadata may include links to websites, audio files, video files, and text files, as well as image capture information including GPS location, time and date of capture, camera settings, etc. In response to selection of the image, or in response to arriving at a website pointed to by a URL in the metadata, a list of information materials associated with the image may be displayed. One or more of the information materials may be automatically activated.
