  • Publication number: 20160034777
    Abstract: A method for capturing three-dimensional photographic lighting of a spherical lighting device is described. Calculation of boundaries of the spherical lighting device based on lighting properties of at least one light source in a set location of the spherical lighting device is performed. A mapping of multitude points of the spherical lighting device to three-dimensional vectors of at least one camera device using a logical grid is performed. A measurement of brightness of the logical grid of the spherical lighting device is performed. The method further comprises determining brightest grid point of the logical grid of the spherical lighting device, wherein the brightest grid point of the logical grid is measured within a region brightness of the spherical lighting device. The method further comprises calculating the region of brightness of the spherical lighting device based on the determined brightest grid point of the logical grid.

  • Publication number: 20150363376
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for providing an interface for data entry into a webform. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a selection of an active data-entry field, determining an inline label associated with the active data-entry field, determining which data-entry fields are required data-entry fields, and determining a location of an active data-entry field within a webform. The method further includes calculating an estimated time to complete the webform based on historical data for the active data-entry field and mobile webform. The method further includes providing an interface for the webform that includes information corresponding to the active data-entry field, the determined inline label, an indication of whether or not the active data-entry field is required, the calculated estimated time to complete the webform, and an indication of the determined location of the active data-entry field within the webform.

  • Patent number: 9196027
    Abstract: In a method for generating a focused image of subject matter, a first image is received, wherein the first image includes subject matter and a first set of image data. One or more processors generates a first depth map for the first image. One or more processors determines at least a second image to be captured. The second image is received, wherein the second image includes the subject matter of the first image and at least a second portion of the subject matter is in focus. One or more processors generate a composite image comprising at least the first portion of the first image and the second portion of the second image.

  • Patent number: 9183620
    Abstract: In a method for calculating corrections for tilt in an image, one or more processors receive a digitized image from a camera. The one or more processors initiate display of the digitized image in a screen on the camera, the screen having user-selectable focus points. The one or more processors receive from a user a focus point selection of an area of the displayed image to correct for tilt, and in response, the one or more processors correct the digitized image for tilt in the area such that an object is in focus in the area.

  • Publication number: 20150278600
    Abstract: In a method for visualizing motion of an object in an image, at least two images, including a first image and a second image, wherein each of the at least two images includes an object are received. One or more processors determine a first distance value for the object in the first image and a second distance value for the object in the second image, wherein each distance value is based on a distance between the object and an image capturing device. One or more processors compare the first distance value to the second distance value to determine a difference between the first distance value and the second distance value. One or more processors generate an indication based on the determined difference between the first distance value and the second distance value.

  • Publication number: 20150228098
    Abstract: A method and system for processing light sources found in images. A base photographic image of a scene is combined with N additional photographic images of the scene to form a composite image including M discrete light sources (N?2; M?N). The scene in the base image is exposed to ambient light. The scene of the base image is exposed, in each of the N additional images, to the ambient light and to at least one discrete light source to which the base image is not exposed. The M discrete light sources in the composite image include the discrete light sources to which the scene is exposed in the N additional images. The composite image is displayed on a display device, depicting a region surrounding each discrete light source and having an area that correlates with an intensity of light from the discrete light source surrounded by the region.
