TL;DR: A method of digital zooming by automatically recognizing the game situation or events such as penalty kick and free kick based on player and ball tracking is proposed, which is compared with a conventional technique by AHP method that can reflect an individual subjectivity.
Abstract: We are studying about automatic production of soccer sports videos for easy understanding by using digital camera work on camera fixed videos. The digital camera work is a movie technique which uses virtual panning and zooming by clipping frames from hi-resolution images and controlling the frame size and position. We have studied so far digital panning. In this paper, we propose a method of digital zooming by automatically recognizing the game situation or events such as penalty kick and free kick based on player and ball tracking. These recognition results are used as key indices to retrieve the event scenes from soccer videos. We compared the proposed technique with a conventional technique by AHP method that can reflect an individual subjectivity.

TL;DR: In this article, a digital camera system consisting of a camera and a cradle unit, which are electrically connected via a connector and a connection terminal, is provided with an operation code generator and a light emitter.
Abstract: A digital camera system comprises a digital camera and a cradle unit, which are electrically connected via a connector and a connection terminal The cradle unit is provided with an operation-code generator and a light emitter When an external display mode is selected by operating an operational section of the digital camera, the operation-code generator generates an operation code as an analog signal This analog signal is sent to the light emitter Upon receiving the analog signal, the light emitter emits an infrared signal of the operation code toward a TV monitor to change the TV monitor into an external input condition

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and a method for the transfer of data between a digital camera and a host using a novel combination of hardware and software related elements is presented, where the camera base unit significantly simplifies the connection between the camera and the host by alleviating the need to directly connect the camera with a host.
Abstract: A system and a method for the transfer of data between a digital camera and a host using a novel combination of hardware and software related elements. An aspect of the hardware-related elements provides a camera base unit which remains connected with the host, and which the camera is connected with to facilitate the transfer of data to the host. The camera base unit significantly simplifies the connection between the camera and the host by alleviating the need to directly connect the camera with a host. Furthermore, the camera base unit, by providing a pass-through connection and placement guides that mate with the camera, assures that an intuitive placement of the camera on the camera base unit also enables an electronic connection between the camera and the host. Therefore, the simple placement of the camera in contact with the camera base unit ensures a proper interface between the camera and the host, which is connected with the camera base unit. Another aspect of the hardware-based elements is directed towards a “quick send” button. Pushing the “quick send” button causes all the selected on-camera data to be transferred to a local or remote host. The transfer of data is caused by a series of software operations which are initiated in response to the camera connecting with the camera base unit, and which are performed either automatically or following the pushing of the “quick send” button.

08 Nov 2006TL;DR: In this paper, a camera location landmark search system was proposed, in which the position data and image data of the captured image were memorized in association with each other, and a landmark corresponding to the camera position was determined, and the landmark name was memorized with the image data.
Abstract: In a camera location landmark search system, when an image is captured by a digital camera, a GPS calculator calculates position data indicating a camera position. The position data and image data of the captured image are memorized in association with each other. Map data is divided at regular intervals of latitude and longitude into a lot of areas. Based on the position data, a divisional area including the camera position is selected with reference to a divisional area index table of the map data, and landmark data prepared for the determined divisional area are retrieved from a landmark data table of the map data. Based on the landmark data, a landmark corresponding to the camera position is determined, and the landmark name is memorized in association with the image data. The image data as sorted according to the landmark names may be displayed with the landmark names.
