Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing to a user information associated with an acquired image are described. A method may include acquiring an image from a printed item, and identifying a virtual rendition of the item based on the content of a portion of the acquired image. A method may include selecting a feature in the acquired image, and providing information based on the feature.

Abstract: A method of and system for converting an original representation of a page element expressed in bitmap form into a page definition language representation of the page element develops an element approximation expressed in the page definition language, converts the element approximation into an approximation bitmap and compares the approximation bitmap to the original representation expressed in bitmap form to obtain an error indication. The error indication is checked to determine whether it meets a certain criterion and, if so, the element approximation is used as the page definition language representation. Otherwise, one or more further element approximations are developed until an element approximation is obtained that results in an error indication which meets the certain criterion.
