Examples are described for applying different settings for image capture to different portions of image data. For example, an image sensor can capture image data of a scene and can send the image data to an image signal processor (ISP) and a classification engine for processing. The classification engine can determine that a first object image region depicts a first category of object, and a second object image region depicts a second category of object. Different confidence regions of the image data can identify different degrees of confidence in the classifications. The ISP can generate an image by applying a different settings to the different portions of the image data. The different portions of the image data can be identified based on the object image regions and confidence regions.

Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

A sensor device and an operating method thereof are provided. The sensor device includes a microcontroller and a sensor module. The microcontroller performs the operating method. Firstly, the sensor device enters a configuration mode after being activated. The sensor device enters a detection mode after a timeout period. The sensor device is on standby for detecting if any event occurs under the detection mode. When any event is detected, a trigger signal is generated, and the sensor device enters a broadcast mode to broadcast the trigger signal. After another timeout period, the sensor device enters the detection mode again, and is on standby for detecting if the event is restored to a default state. When the event is restored to the default state, the sensor device is reset for detecting if the event occurs.

To provide an image processing apparatus that can provide an image file after conversion that can use all pieces of annotation information recorded in an image file before conversion.SOLUTION: A digital camera 100 converts a HEIF image file into a JPEG image file according to an image conversion instruction issued by a user, and when annotation information included in the HEIF image file is not related image data, records the annotation information in an application marker in the JPEG image file. When the annotation information included in the HEIF image file is the related image data, the digital camera 100 records link information on the annotation information in the application marker in the JPEG image file.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for monitoring for a trigger event, where the trigger event is a determination that a user will issue a capture instruction to capture a target scene, and in response to detecting the trigger event, switching an image system at the apparatus from a first mode of operation, in which image data representing a captured target scene is generated at a first level of quality, to a second mode of operation, in which the image data is generated at a second level of quality, where the second quality level is higher than the first quality.

To provide an image communication system that allows the image source to specify a point of interest in real time. [Solution] An image communication system 10 having an imaging device 5 for capturing images and communication terminals 1 to 4 for displaying the images on a screen, characterized in that it includes: a point of interest definition unit 194 for defining points of interest in the image; an orientation information acquisition unit 15a for acquiring orientation information of the imaging device; a point of interest conversion unit 196 for converting the points of interest defined by the point of interest definition unit according to the orientation information acquired by the orientation information acquisition unit; an extraction processing unit 220 for extracting a predetermined region including the points of interest converted by the point of interest conversion unit from the image; and an output unit 224 for displaying the predetermined region including the points of interest extracted by the extraction processing unit on the screen.

EVS event data may be stored in an event buffer as a plurality of event values, each event value corresponding to a respective event frame of the plurality of event frames. For each event frame, a processor may implement an improved EDI model to update the event-frame count, for each event frame after a first event frame, and only when a current event value is different than an immediately preceding event value: (1) updating a first integral of event data based on the current event value and all preceding event values, and (2) updating a second integral of event data based on at least the first integral of event data and the event frame count, and using at least the second integral of event data, deblurring raw image data to yield a latent deblurred image.
