Abstract: A method for browsing a collection of digital images on a soft-copy display comprising: receiving a collection of digital images; interactively user selecting a digital image using a user interface; determining a plurality of subsets of the digital images, wherein each subset shares a common category with the selected digital image; and displaying the subsets of digital images on the soft-copy display, together with the selected digital image.

Abstract: Image selection method amongst a plurality of digital images (102) classified in a plurality of images categories (104a, 104b 104c), the method comprising the following steps: —allocating to each image at least one strength value (112, 112i, 112j, 112k), —allowing an user to select (120) images amongst the plurality of digital images, —collecting (122) user data, —updating (130) the strength value of all images classified in a same category than an image selected by the user as a function of the collected user data, and —upon selection of an image by the user, automatically selecting (142) at least one additional image classified in at least one same category than an image selected by the user, and for which the strength value exceeds a threshold value —making the selected images available (146) for subsequent use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing defects in a digital image include defining a defect map, having defect and non-defect entries, as a defect bounded by an expanded defect region and an outer analysis region of a different defect map values. By choosing suitable values and performing a bitwise logical OR operation on the entries the processing of the defect map is made more efficient.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for image processing, comprising the step of estimating a value for one or more clipped channels of one or more clipped pixels in a multi-channel image in dependence on information obtained from the unclipped channels of the one or more clipped pixels and from one or more unclipped pixels near to the one or more clipped pixels. The invention provides a method that enables values for any or all of the channels that have experienced clipping to be estimated.
