Abstract: An image correction system comprises a detection application accessible by a processor and adapted to identify a viewing direction of at least one eye of a subject within an image. The system also comprises a reconstruction application accessible by the processor and adapted to automatically modify the image to modify the viewing direction of the at least one eye of the subject.

Abstract: As is known in the art, it becomes progressively difficult to identify an image region as being caused by noise as the area of that image region increases. The present invention encompasses the discovery that image data associated with smaller noise regions tends to mirror image data associated with larger noise regions. In accordance with the present invention, known techniques are used to accurately identify smaller noise regions. The image data extracted from these smaller noise regions is then used to aid in the identification of larger noise regions. Accordingly, the present invention increases the area of noise regions capable of being accurately identified compared to prior art noise identification techniques. Once large and small noise regions have been identified, the noise regions can be filtered using techniques known in the art.

Abstract: An imaging device comprising an actuation element externally disposed on the imaging device and a first alignment element communicatively coupled with the actuation element and operable to emit an alignment light upon actuation of the actuation element, the alignment light emitted substantially in parallel with a surface of the imaging device is provided. A method of aligning a portable imaging device with an object comprising actuating an input element operatively coupled to an alignment element and emitting at least one alignment light from the alignment element is provided.
