  • Monitoring an output from a camera
    Patent number: 7664292
    Abstract: Output from a video camera is monitored. Input data is analyzed to produce a model of a background image and incoming image data is compared with said background model to identify images having a high level of activity created by the introduction of a foreground object. A period of activity, composed of a plurality of consecutive images having a high level of activity, is identified, and an exemplar image is generated.
    Type: Grant

  • Generating image data
    Patent number: 7016011
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, system, and article of manufacture provide the ability to process image data in a computer system. A user-operable representation of at least one image-processing function is configured with an adjustable opacity. The user-operable representation is created and processed as a three-dimensional object. The opacity of the representation is adjusted in response to user input. The representation is ten blended with image data to generate blended image data that is output to a display.

  • Generating image data
    Publication number: 20040090597
    Abstract: An apparatus (401) is provided for processing image data (710, 711, 712) and comprises storage means (503, 504), processing means (501), manually operable input means (409, 410, 411) and display means (408). Said storage means (503, 504) store said image data (710, 711, 712) and instructions (702) and said processing means (501) are configured by said instructions (702) to perform the steps of configuring (815) at least one user-operable representation (1501, 1502) of at least one image-processing function (1106) defined by said instructions (702) with an adjustable opacity (1901); adjusting (1902) said opacity of said representation (1501, 1502) in response to user input (705) received from said manually operable input means (409, 410, 411); blending (1202, 1402, 1806, 1904) said representation (1501, 1502) and said image data (1503, 1504) to generate blended image data (1703) and outputting said blended image data (1703) to said display means (408).
