Abstract: A target image is obtained from a cloud database based on reference information associated with a source image that is captured by an image capture device. The target image is blended with the source image to generate a blended image.

Abstract: A device to detect location data, store a first location of the device within metadata of visual media if the location data is available, and store a second location within the metadata of the visual media if the location data is unavailable.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an image capturing device. The method is performed by one or more processors of the image capturing device. The one or more processors detect a configuration image using a lens of the image capturing device. The configuration image is associated with information for configuring the image capturing device. The one or more processors determine a set of image capturing settings based on the information and captures an image other than the configuration image using the determined set of image capturing settings.

Abstract: Reference data associated with an image capture device is collected while the image capture device is directed toward a scene area. A capture control on the image capture device is automatically adjusted based at least in part on the reference data.

Abstract: A readout frequency of a sensor of a digital image capturing device is set based on a frequency of alternating current (AC) mains so that a readout period of the sensor of the digital image capturing device is not an integer multiple of a flicker period. The flicker period is equal to half of a period of the AC mains. A first image frame and a second image frame are captured using the sensor of the digital image capturing device. The second image frame is captured later in time than the first image frame. Whether flicker has occurred in the first and second image frames due to a periodic fluctuation of light emitted by a light source powered by the AC mains is detected by comparing a brightness of an area of the first image frame to a brightness of a corresponding area of the second image frame.

Abstract: A device to detect a location of a device, identify an image capture profile associated with the location of the device, and modify a mode of operation on the device based on the image capture profile.

Abstract: A device to detect location data, store a first location of the device within metadata of visual media if the location data is available, and store a second location within the metadata of the visual media if the location data is unavailable.

Abstract: Methods and systems for enhancing a digital image include analyzing the digital image to determine if the digital image includes a facial component. Facial characteristics of the facial component are determined for each image that does include at least one facial component. The digital image is then modified based on the facial characteristics.

Abstract: A device to capture an image with an image capture component, determine whether the image is acceptable in response to a device applying at least one image detection algorithm on the image, and provide a haptic feedback response to a user of the device if the image is acceptable.

Abstract: A user captures a digital image, which is then selected for post-processing within the image capture device. The image capture device decompresses the full size image, and buffers any metadata associated with the image. As a user applies each post-processing effect to the image, effect parameters are added to the metadata for the image. Upon completion of post-processing the effect parameters from the metadata are stored in a separate custom effect file. The image capture device then is able to perform the series of effects upon subsequent images after reading the effect parameters from the custom effect file.

Abstract: Audio data is accessed. A visual effect is applied to image data based on the audio data. The image data to which the visual effect has been applied based on the audio data is displayed.

Abstract: A user provides a graphical representation of a desired image capture device control parameter curve with respect to time. A digital image of the graphical representation of a desired image capture device control parameter curve is captured. The digital image is analyzed by a processor that generates necessary control parameters as defined by the desired image capture device control parameter curve. The processor uses the resulting control parameters to control an image capture device during an image capture session.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for customizing a color palette on a digital camera. An exemplary method of customizing a color palette on a digital camera may comprise identifying for a user a color from a scene the digital camera is focused on. The method may also comprise capturing the color as a digital image on the digital camera. The method may also comprise adding the captured color to the color palette for the user to apply as a photo-editing effect to other digital images on the digital camera.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a blemish repair tool for digital photographs in a camera are disclosed. An exemplary method of repairing a blemish in a digital image on a camera may comprise selecting at least one candidate region including a blemish in the digital image. The method may also comprise cloning pixel values for repairing the blemish. The method may also comprise overlaying the cloned pixel values on the candidate region of the digital image.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for applying a slimming effect to a subject in a digital image on a camera. An exemplary method may comprise compressing the digital image in one dimension so that a subject appears thinner. The method may also comprise selecting a portion of the compressed image on both sides of the subject. The method may also comprise stretching only the selected portion of the compressed image to retain an aspect ratio of the original digital image.

Abstract: A digital imaging device produces and stores multiple video streams from a single imaging sensor array. The stored video streams may be post-processed using video editing software to create a combined video presentation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for camera sensor system self-calibration are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a method may include exposing a camera sensor system to a known output from a camera display. The method may also include determining a calibration value by comparing image signals from the camera sensor system to expected values based on the known output from the camera display. The method may also include storing a calibration value in memory for retrieval during camera use.
