A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to define the location of a center point associated with each frame within a stream of image data. Metadata associated with the orientation, such as the pitch and yaw, of a camera is synchronized on a frame-by-frame basis with a related stream of image data. In connection with receiving the image data and the orientation data, the method defines a center point associated with a video frame images and transmits a control signal causing the reorientation of at least a subset of video image frames. In some example implementations, arising in the context of 360° video streams, the rotation of the head of a viewer of virtual reality content or other 360° video streams may be taken into account when defining the location of a center point.

An information processing apparatus includes a print management unit configured to allocate a plurality of print data sets to a plurality of image forming apparatuses, respectively, the plurality of print data sets being obtained by dividing one print data set; a separator data generation unit configured to generate, for each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, print data for a separator, the print data for the separator including management information that includes information regarding a particular print data set among the plurality of print data sets and information regarding a particular image forming apparatus among the plurality of image forming apparatuses to which the particular print data set is allocated; and an output unit configured to output, for each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, the particular print data set and the print data for the separator to the particular image forming apparatus.

Techniques for signer-initiated electronic document signing via an electronic signature service using a mobile or other client device are described. Example embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to facilitate the creation, storage, and management of documents and corresponding electronic signatures. In some embodiments, when a signer user receives a hard copy (e.g., paper) signature document, the signer may capture an image of the signature document with a camera of a mobile device. The signer can then import the captured image into the ESS for signature, storage, and/or transmission to other parties.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory in which processing instruction information including data to be processed and setting information is stored; a first executing unit that executes processing of the data to be processed on a basis of a first product and the setting information; a first measurement unit that measures a predetermined item concerning a first processing result of the first executing unit; a second executing unit that executes processing of the data to be processed on a basis of a second product and the setting information; a second measurement unit that measures the item concerning a second processing result of the second executing unit; and an output unit that outputs a result of comparison between the first processing result and the second processing result on a basis of a measurement result of the first measurement unit and a measurement result of the second measurement unit.

There is provided an imaging apparatus including: a sound processing unit that performs processing with respect to a sound signal input through a microphone; and a control unit that separately controls a parameter related to processing of the sound signal at a time of recording of a captured image when the sound data processed by the sound processing unit is recorded together with image data obtained by imaging through an imaging unit and a time of recording a sound memo when the sound data processed by the sound processing unit is recorded as the sound memo.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for exchanging images. In use, one or more images are received at a server. Additionally, the one or more images are analyzed. Further, image processing code is outputted referencing the one or more images, based on the analysis of the one or more images. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also presented.

An image processing apparatus includes: a scanner, memory storing instructions; and a controller, when executing the instructions, causing the image processing apparatus to execute: a first reception processing of receiving instruction data, a first determination processing of determining whether the instruction data is screen instruction data or action instruction data. If the instruction data is the screen instruction data, the image processing apparatus executes: a display processing of displaying a setting screen, an acceptance processing of accepting a user operation designating the parameter; a first storage processing of storing the parameter designated by the acceptance processing. If the instruction data is the action instruction data, the image processing apparatus executes: a scan instruction processing of causing the scanner to execute the scanning action; a generation processing of generating the metadata, with using the parameter stored in the memory, and a second transmission processing.

An information processing system that that confirms the meanings of difference information in meeting content with reference to the sound information is provided. Differences between meeting content contained in image information of a paper medium taken at each detection cycle and meeting content contained in master information are extracted. Surrounding sounds are recorded while the meeting is being held. The sound information of the recorded sounds is associated with the difference information of the extracted differences and also associated with the master information with the timing when the differences of the meeting content are detected.

An image recording apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a recording unit configured to record one of still image data and video image data captured by the image capturing unit on a storage medium in the form of an image file, a generating unit configured to generate a management file used for managing the image file recorded on the storage medium, and a registering unit configured to register an identifier of the image file recorded on the storage medium in the management file on a capture date basis in the order of capture time.

An imaging apparatus is configured to capture an object image, generate a RAW image, perform simple development on the RAW image during the image capturing operation, and store not only the developed image but also the RAW image in a storage medium. If the imaging apparatus displays an image during the image capturing operation and immediately after the image capturing operation, the imaging apparatus displays the image processed by the simple development. When the imaging apparatus completes processing of high-quality image development, the imaging apparatus replaces the image processed by the simple development with the image processed by the high-quality image development and displays the image processed by the high-quality image development.
