  • Detail-in-context lenses for digital image cropping, measurement and online maps
    Patent number: 9804728
    Abstract: In one or more implementations, a signal is received selecting a geographic location in an original image of a digital map for display on a display. The original image is distorted to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the digital map for display on the display, the appearance of the lens including a focal region that includes a magnification of the geographic location and a base region that surrounds the focal region.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignee: CALLAHAN CELLULAR L.L.C.
    Inventors: Andrew Carlisle, Andrew Skiers
  • Lens-defined adjustment of displays
    Patent number: 9760235
    Abstract: In an implementation, an image is distorted for display on a display device to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the image. A brightness level of the appearance of the lens for display on the display device is adjusted such that the brightness level of the appearance of the lens differs from a brightness level of the portion of the image that surrounds the appearance of the lens.

  • Detail-in-context lenses for digital image cropping and measurement
    Patent number: 7978210
    Abstract: In one or more implementations, a cropped image is defined within a boundary on an original image displayed on a display. The original image is distorted to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the original image displayed on the display, the appearance of the lens including a focal region and a base region. A graphical user interface (“GUI”) is displayed on the display for adjusting the appearance of the lens.

  • Using detail-in-context lenses for accurate digital image cropping and measurement
    Patent number: 7489321
    Abstract: A method for cropping a computer generated original image on a display, comprising the steps of: adjusting a user-selected movable boundary on the original image to define a cropped image within the boundary, the boundary defined by two or more points on the original image; and, distorting the original image in regions surrounding the points, whereby the boundary is accurately positioned for cropping. And, a method for measuring within a computer generated original image on a display, comprising the steps of: adjusting a user-selected movable line segment on the original image to define points on the original image for measuring between; and, distorting the original image in regions surrounding the points, whereby the points are accurately positioned for measuring.
