| 20100199227 | IMAGE COLLAGE AUTHORING - A user interface that includes a catalog area, a collage mock-up area, and a mode select interface control operable to select an operational state of the user interface is displayed. Thumbnails of respective images are shown in the catalog area. A layout of a subset of the images is presented in the collage mock-up area. In response to the receipt of a user input gesture and a determination that the user interface is in a first operational state, a first action type is performed based on the type of the received user input gesture and the object type of the target object. In response to the receipt of the user input gesture and a determination that the user interface is in a second operational state, a second action type is performed based on the type of the received user input gesture and the object type of the target object. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100215279 | AUTOMATIC AND SCALABLE IMAGE SELECTION - In a method for automatically and scalably selecting images from an image collection for inclusion in a photo album, an initial pagination arrangement containing a subset of all of the images contained in the image collection is identified. In addition, a determination as to whether the initial number of pages of the initial pagination arrangement is equivalent to a desired number of pages is made and the initial pagination arrangement is modified in an automatic and scalable manner in response to the initial number of pages differing from the desired number of pages. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20120106859 | Image Album Creation - A method for creating an image album includes selecting a subset of images from a source set and creating a plurality of image albums by arranging the subset of images over one or more pages. Each image album is evaluated by a penalty detection unit ( | 05-03-2012 |

| 20100329550 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CROPPING DIGITAL IMAGES - The present invention is a digital image manipulation system for automatically cropping acquired digital images, including a memory device configured to store at least one acquired digital image, a crop analysis segmentation subsystem configured to divide at least one image into a set of similarly colored regions, a classification subsystem configured to classify each region into one of a set of possible classes which include subject background and distraction at a minimum, an optimization search configured to search possible crop boundaries and a selection module configured to automatically select a highest rated crop boundary determined from the search and based on an optimization criterion that is derived from results of the crop analysis segmentation and classification subsystems. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100329588 | AUTOCROPPING AND AUTOLAYOUT METHOD FOR DIGITAL IMAGES - The present invention is a method for manipulating acquired digital images in a computer system, comprising creating a crop cost array for each of a set of input images with a set of associated aspect ratios, wherein the cost crop array operates and is stored on the computer system and wherein each element of the array holds a lowest crop cost of an input image for a predetermined aspect ratio, generating plural possible candidate combinations of aspect ratios for the images, wherein one aspect ratio is generated for each image, creating an arrangement of the images for each candidate combination in which each image is cropped to its associated aspect ratio in the candidate combination, evaluating each possible arrangement using a combination of a crop cost of each of the images at their selected aspect ratio and a measure of an aesthetic quality of the layout arrangement, selecting a layout combination with a lowest combined crop cost and layout evaluation score, cropping each image according to a respective aspect ratio in the selected layout combination and arranging the cropped digital images in the selected layout to produce an automatically formatted output layout page. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110205399 | Arranging Images Into Pages Using Content-based Filtering And Theme-based Clustering - To arrange images into pages, images captured by at least one imaging device are received. Content-based filtering is applied for removing at least one of the received images to produce a collection of the images. Theme-based clustering is then performed on the images in the collection to produce plural clusters of images, where the plural clusters of images are associated with respective themes that are based on time and at least one other attribute that provides an indication of thematic similarity between the images. The plural clusters of images are mapped to respective pages of an output representation. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20080292262 | Grease-Free Buffer Optical Fiber Buffer Tube Construction Utilizing a Water-Swellable, Texturized Yarn - A buffered optical fiber arrangement that includes a buffer tube in which is provided optical fibers and a texturized yarn coated with a water-swellable material. The filament diameter of the yarn used in the present invention may be between about 5 microns and about 100 microns, more preferably between about 10 and about 60 microns, still more preferably between about 20 and about 40 microns. The linear density, or denier in grams per 9000 meters, of the base yarn may be between about 100 and 1000, more preferably between about 200 and 600, or still more preferably between about 250 and 350. The degree of decrease in length (the “degree of texturizing”) between the perfectly straight filaments before texturizing and the texturized filament may be between 1 percent and 90 percent, more preferably between about 2 percent and 50 percent, or still more preferably between about 5 percent and 25 percent. | 11-27-2008 |
