Wireless data capture and sharing system, such as image capture and sharing of digital camera images via a wireless cellular network and related tagging of images

Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for allowing a wireless telecommunications device, such as a cell phone, to wirelessly receive and transmit digital content, such as digital images from a digital camera or camcorder Further, the wireless telecommunications device or user computer can automatically receive metadata or tags to be associated with the digital content Further details and features are described herein

Method and apparatus for still image capture during video streaming operations of a tethered digital camera

Abstract: Dual still image and video mode (110) features are provided for a digital camera (10) whereby the digital camera and an associated computer system support the concurrent capture of still images and video streaming operations. Capture and retrieval of a still image during video streaming operations of a digital camera tethered to a computer system (12) includes pausing video streaming operations, capturing a still image by the digital camera, transferring the still image from the digital camera to the computer system, and resuming video streaming operations. Transfer of the captured still image is performed by camera device driver and bus interface software executing on the computer system. In one embodiment the digital camera (10) is tethered to the computer system by a Universal Serial Bus (USB) (14) and the camera device driver and bus interface software control access and usage of the USB.

Imaging apparatus and image processing method therefor

Abstract: A digital camera (1) has a CPU (30) and an image processing apparaatus (25). The image processing apparatus (25) acquires a contour from an image acquired by shooting a whiteboard (2) as a shooting target by using a Roberts filter. The image processing apparatus (25) detects straight lines to be candidates which form the image of the whiteboard (2) from the acquired contour, and acquires the rectangular shape of the whiteboard (2). The image processing apparatus (25) acquires projection parameters indicating the relationship between the image of the whiteboard (2) and the real whiteboard (2) from vertex positions of the quadrangle, and performs projection transformation of the image of the whiteboard (2).

Digital camera, image output method and program

Abstract: A digital camera according to this invention includes an image data memory unit which stores sensed image data, an output information memory unit which stores output information describing an image output method, an image data selector which selects designated image data as an output target from image data stored in the image data memory unit, and an output unit which outputs the image data selected by the image data selector in accordance with the output information stored in the output information memory unit.

System and method for transferring image data between digital cameras

Abstract: A digital camera and image processing system configured for transferring image data. Transferring means including wireless transmission, transmission through a telephone network, and copying image data to detachable memory modules. Recorded images are optionally previewed and selected for transmission prior to actual transmission. Wireless transmission may be through a cellular telephone network and may be to an internet-based image processing system configured to process digital images and optionally delivery them to a client. The digital camera optionally receives data from an internet based image processing system and/or from other digital cameras. In addition to image data transmission optionally includes processing preference data, user identifying data, and address data.
