  • Patent number: 8712925
    Abstract: Disclosed is a processor-implemented method for processing images. The processor receives image data of a color space defined by input provided to a system by a user, determines at least one color attribute of the pixels in the received image correlating to at least perceptual image characteristics, determines statistics using the attribute(s), and analyzes the statistics to classify the image into a category. Based on at least the category, a billing structure for the image is determined. For example, chroma and/or hue of pixels can be used to create histograms, whose data is used to determine a degree of color and/or content of an image, which is categorized. Color space components of received pixels can also be statistically analyzed. Such determinations consider billing based on human perception of use of color. Billing for color images in this manner satisfies the user and increases use of color output (e.g., printing).

  • Patent number: 8125684
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a printing method that can determine a configuration of a printing system based on contents of a printing job to achieve an optimum image quality for the printing job. Further, the configuration can be provided to a configuration update mechanism via a communication method. The printing method can include storing a plurality of printing configurations for at least one printer, analyzing a printing job to determine printing characteristics, rating the plurality of printing configurations based on printing abilities of the plurality of printing configurations corresponding to the printing characteristics, and selecting a printing configuration based on the rating.

  • Publication number: 20080043259
    Abstract: A hardcopy display such as a book displays both snapshots and video sequences from a digital camera. The video sequences are printed as individual frames of a video that are aligned and sequence among pages of the book such that when they are flipped in rapid sequence, the action from the video sequence is displayed.
