A retargeted image substantially retains the context of an original image while emphasizing the information content of a determined region of interest within the original image. Image regions surrounding the region of interest are warped without regard to preserving their information content and/or aspect ratios, while the region of interest is modified to preserve its aspect ratio and image content. The surrounding image regions can be warped to fit the resulting warped image regions into the available display space surrounding the unwarped region of interest. The surrounding image regions can be warped using one or more fisheye warping functions, which can be Cartesian or polar fisheye warping functions, and more specifically linear or linear-polynomial Cartesian fisheye warping functions, which are applied along each direction or axis of the region of interest. The image region on each side of the region of interest can be modified using one or more steps.

Methods, systems and mediums are disclosed for aligning mass spectrometry data before the analysis of the mass spectrometry data. The mass spectrometry data may be received from a mass spectrometry machine, and re-sampled using a smooth warping function. To estimate the warping function, a synthetic signal is build using, for example, Gaussian pulses centered at a set of reference peaks. The reference peaks may be designated by users or calculated after observing a group of spectrograms. The synthetic signal is shifted and scaled so that the cross-correlation between the mass spectrometry data and the synthetic signal reaches its maximum value.

A real-time approximately 360 degree image correction system and a method for alleviating distortion and perception problems in images captured by omni-directional cameras. In general, the real-time panoramic image correction method generates a warp table from pixel coordinates of a panoramic image and applies the warp table to the panoramic image to create a corrected panoramic image. The corrections are performed using a parametric class of warping functions that include Spatially Varying Uniform (SVU) scaling functions. The SVU scaling functions and scaling factors are used to perform vertical scaling and horizontal scaling on the panoramic image pixel coordinates. A horizontal distortion correction is performed using the SVU scaling functions at at least two different scaling factors. This processing generates a warp table that can be applied to the panoramic image to yield the corrected panoramic image. In one embodiment the warp table is concatenated with a stitching table used to create the panoramic image.

The disclosure provides an approach for transferring image edits from a source image to target images. In one embodiment, a warp application receives a user-selected region of interest in a source image and determines for the region of interest content-aware bounded weight functions and seed locations for the same. For each of the target images, the warping application initializes a linear blend skinning subspace warp to a projection onto a feature space of a piecewise affine map from scale invariant feature transform features of the source image to the target image. After initializing the warps, the warping application iteratively optimizes the warps by applying the inverse compositional Lucas-Kanade procedure and using the content-aware weight functions in said procedure. Edits made to the source image may automatically be transferred to target images by warping those edits via the optimized warp function for the respective target images.
