Abstract: A method for generating combined images from images taken separately with the same or a similar background, comprising the steps of: a) capturing a first image containing one or more selected items; b) capturing a second image containing one or more selected items that were not included in the first image; c) generating a preview image that combines the selected items of the first image and the selected items of the second image, the relative positioning of said selected items being effected using elements in the background; d) combining the images as shown in the preview or as corrected by a user, on receipt of an input from said user; and e) optionally, repeating steps a) through d) with a third image, using the combined image obtained in step d) as one of the two images.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a digital image acquired by a camera, according to the preference of the user of the camera, comprises determining the user's preferences based on user behavior in respect of one or more previously acquired images and thereafter changing one or more shooting parameter of the camera based on said behavior.

Abstract: A method for creating an image that depicts the motion of a moving object. The method comprises: a) identifying a motion of a moving object in a plurality of initial images depicting a scene, b) capturing a plurality of reference images of the moving object, c) cropping at least one sub-image of the moving object from at least one of the plurality of reference images, and d) combining the at least one sub-image and at least one of the plurality of reference images to produce a final representation depicting the motion. The resolution of the plurality of initial images is lower than the resolution of the plurality of reference images.

Abstract: A method for generating a combined image that comprises, during capturing a sequence comprising a plurality of initial images, detecting a subset of the plurality of images having no substantial motion thereamong, combining data from the subset to produce a combined image, and outputting the combined image.

Abstract: A method of correcting a current image taken by a capturing device, the current image captured after a previous image, the method comprising the steps of: determining a noticeable pixel group, such as an edge of an object in the previous image; locating the noticeable pixel groups in the current image, by finding corresponding pixels whose values are most similar to the values of the noticeable pixels, determining the offset between the previous image and the current image, and correcting the current image using the offset. Optionally, multiple offsets are determined for multiple areas in the current image, and other areas in the image are optionally corrected according to interpolations between the determined offsets.
