Abstract: A method of display control using portable equipment (602) provided with an image sensor including the capture of a series of images; the estimate of the movement made in the displacement of the portable equipment; and the modification of the display according to the movement estimate, according to the invention, in which the movement estimate includes: a) the selection of at least one first (10) and at least one second image; b) the application to the first image of a set of predictive displacements (10d, 10g, 10h, 10b, 10nd, 10bd, 10hg, 10bg); c) the calculation and comparison of the value of at least one characteristic of the first image assigned respectively with each of the predictive displacements with the value of the same characteristic of the second imaged; d) the determination of the predictive displacement (dp) leading to a value of the characteristic, closest to that of the second image; and e) use of the predictive displacement determined in step d as the movement estimate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of annotation of images captured by a digital camera equipped with a previewing means, comprising: the supply with the camera of an operating mode enabling a user to select one image (12) to be annotated, and to capture at least one additional previewed image; the automatic extraction (20) of an annotation (A) from the additional image; and the creation (22) of a new image by combining the annotation (A) and the image to be annotated (12), while respecting, in the new image, a location and enlargement ratio of the annotation virtually identical to those of the annotation in the additional image.

Abstract: A method for automatically editing video sequences to produce lenticular grid hardcopies, includes the selection of a first set of images in a shot image sequence; the assignment to each image of the image set of an individual quality factor as a function of image characteristics; the selection of at least one new image set by replacing at least one image of the previously selected image set by a new image of the shot sequence; the preparation of image data to form a lenticular grid hardcopy, based on an image set taken from among the previously selected image sets and with the highest overall quality factor, the overall quality factor being a function of the individual quality factors of the images of each selected image set.

Abstract: In order to present digital images on different types of screens, and especially on low definition screens, the system provides a server that is adapted for receiving messages coming from at least one display device, and a table for recognizing the type of display device with which the server is communicating. The server performs a transformation for adapting the definition of the image that is transmitted to the type of display screen that is recognized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of image distribution from a central distribution server (10) to at least one receiver device (20), in which, in response to a user request, at least one image is transmitted by a telecasting means, and an information message of image availability by telecasting is sent to the receiver device (20).

Abstract: A method to transmit drawings or images comprising text to low display ability terminals, and more particularly to cellular phones or equivalent mobile devices. The transmission is possible in the best conditions and automatically. The transmission enables the consultation or display by the user of these drawings or images comprising text, on a low display ability terminal. These images can have the form of a plate of several images or an individual image comprising text. This operation is possible by automatically transforming the drawings or images via image analysis into image entities formed by an image zone and a text zone; and without requiring any extra work by the publisher or author of the drawings or images comprising text.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for managing a quick distribution of images. The method comprises the following steps: receiving, from a user, at least one image associated with a messaging system address; digitizing said at least one image when the image is not in digital form; storing said at least one image on a server; and sending a message to the messaging system address associated with said at least one image giving the information that said at least one image is available on the server.
