| 20090154821 | Method and an apparatus for creating a combined image - A method for generating a combined image that comprises, during capturing a sequence comprising a plurality of initial images, detecting a subset of the plurality of images having no substantial motion thereamong, combining data from the subset to produce a combined image, and outputting the combined image. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090208062 | Method and a handheld device for capturing motion - A method for creating an image that depicts the motion of a moving object. The method comprises: a) identifying a motion of a moving object in a plurality of initial images depicting a scene, b) capturing a plurality of reference images of the moving object, c) cropping at least one sub-image of the moving object from at least one of the plurality of reference images, and d) combining the at least one sub-image and at least one of the plurality of reference images to produce a final representation depicting the motion. The resolution of the plurality of initial images is lower than the resolution of the plurality of reference images. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090284621 | DIGITAL CAMERA PERSONALIZATION - A method for optimizing a digital image acquired by a camera, according to the preference of the user of the camera, comprises determining the user's preferences based on user behavior in respect of one or more previously acquired images and thereafter changing one or more shooting parameter of the camera based on said behavior. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100172586 | REAL-TIME IMAGE COLLAGE METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method for generating combined images from images taken separately with the same or a similar background, comprising the steps of: a) capturing a first image containing one or more selected items; b) capturing a second image containing one or more selected items that were not included in the first image; c) generating a preview image that combines the selected items of the first image and the selected items of the second image, the relative positioning of said selected items being effected using elements in the background; d) combining the images as shown in the preview or as corrected by a user, on receipt of an input from said user; and e) optionally, repeating steps a) through d) with a third image, using the combined image obtained in step d) as one of the two images. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100253797 | SMART FLASH VIEWER - A method for generating a preview image of an item to be photographed using flashlights, wherein said preview image is generated without any added light, comprises the steps of: (a) calculating the distance between a portion of the item to be photographed and the camera; (b) calculating the flash light dissemination on the area of said portion, using the distance to said portion and the known flash power to be applied; (c) recalculating captured exposure parameter according to the information gathered from the surface of said portion; and (d) changing the brightness of the preview image by using the calculated lighting parameters at each location. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110183612 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUAL PAIRING OF MOBILE DEVICES - System and method for visual pairing between wireless devices, according to which a first software component is installed on a first WCD with a display screen and a second software component is installed on a second WCD having a camera and then a request to establish an open WCC is sent from the second WCD to the first WCD. If the request is approved by the first WCD, an image with graphically encoded unique one-time information is generated on the display screen using the first software. The image is captured by the camera and the information is decoded in the captured image by using the second software component. This information is used to establish an open WCC between the second WCD and the first WCD. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110201362 | Augmented Media Message - A method for generating and viewing on a handheld device a 3-D augmented reality feature containing a rich media message that is linked to a physical object comprises the steps of: a) by a first user: i. Taking a picture of a physical object; ii. selecting an augmented reality theme; iii. attaching the rich media animated object to the image taken, in the desired position and location on the physical object; iv. generating a reach media message from the augmented reality image obtained in step (iii); iv. optionally attaching an additional file to the rich media message; v. Transferring the physical object to a second user; and vi. sending to said second user a message via a communication channel, which contains the augmented reality rich media; b) by the second user (the recipient): vii. viewing the physical object received from the first user, using an AR viewer in the mobile phone camera, thereby to see the augmented reality rich media appearing on said physical object. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110208817 | LOCATION-BASED COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method for providing location-based messages comprises locating a suitable placeholder for a message within a physical surrounding using a handheld device provided with image acquisition apparatus, and associating a written or visual or audio message, or a combination of two or more of them, with an image that identifies said placeholder, said association being carried out in a server adapted to communicate with said handheld device. | 08-25-2011 |
