Image quality visual indicator
View Patent ↗An image for which a quality indicator is to be displayed is obtained. The image is processed to obtain a quality value associated with the quality of the image. The quality indicator based at least in part on the quality value is displayed, wherein the quality indicator is displayed with a displayed version of the image.
1. A method comprising:
obtaining an image, captured on a mobile telephone which includes a camera, for which a first quality indicator and a second quality indicator are to be displayed;
obtaining information associated with a first portion of the image and a second portion of the image;
sending, via a mobile telephone network, the obtained information associated with the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image to a remote image quality analyzer;
using a processor, on the remote image quality analyzer, to generate a corrected version of the image prior to receiving any indication associated with correcting the image at the remote image quality analyzer;
receiving, from the remote image quality analyzer and via the mobile telephone network, the corrected version of the image in the event a request associated with correcting the image is received; and
displaying, on the mobile telephone, the corrected version of the image.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of quality indicators are displayed for a plurality of images.
3. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first quality indicator and/or the second quality indicator is/are displayed on top of the image.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein displaying the first quality indicator and the second quality indicator includes one or more of the following:
displaying via a capture device, displaying via a mobile telephone, or displaying via a computer.
5. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a first quality value and/or a second quality value is/are associated with relative quality.
6. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a first quality value and/or a second quality value is/are associated with absolute quality.
7. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image do not overlap in the image.
8. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the image and/or the second portion of the image include(s) a face.
9. A system comprising:
an interface configured to:
obtain an image, captured on a mobile telephone which includes a camera, for which a first quality indicator and second quality indicator are to be displayed;
obtain information associated with a first portion of the image and a second portion of the image;
send, via a mobile telephone network, the obtained information associated with the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image to a remote image quality analyzer; and
a processor, on the remote image quality analyzer, configured to generate a corrected version of the image prior to receiving any indication associated with correcting the image at the remote image quality analyzer; and to send, from the remote image quality analyzer and via the mobile telephone network to the mobile telephone, the corrected version of the image in the event a request associated with correcting the image is received; and
a display configured to display, on the mobile telephone, the corrected version of the image.
10. A system as recited in claim 9 , wherein the processor is located remotely from the display.
11. A system as recited in claim 9 , wherein the system includes a camera.
12. A system as recited in claim 9 , wherein displaying the first quality indicator and the second quality indicator includes displaying a number.
13. A system as recited in claim 9 , wherein displaying the first quality indicator and the second quality indicator includes filling in zero or more shapes.
14. A system as recited in claim 9 , wherein the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image do not overlap in the image.
15. A system as recited in claim 9 , wherein the first portion of the image and/or the second portion of the image include(s) a face.
16. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable, non-transitory storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
obtaining an image, captured on a mobile telephone which includes a camera, for which a first quality indicator and a second quality indicator are to be displayed;
obtaining information associated with a first portion of the image and a second portion of the image;
sending, via a mobile telephone network, the obtained information associated with the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image to a remote image quality analyzer;
generating, at the remote image quality analyzer, a corrected version of the image prior to receiving any indication associated with correcting the image at the remote image quality analyzer;
receiving, from the remote image quality analyzer and via the mobile telephone network, the corrected version of the image in the event a request associated with correcting the image is received; and
displaying, on the mobile telephone, the corrected version of the image.
17. A computer program product as recited in claim 16 , wherein the computer instructions for displaying the first quality indicator and the second quality indicator include computer instructions for displaying a number.
18. A computer program product as recited in claim 16 , wherein the computer instructions for displaying the first quality indicator and the second quality indicator include computer instructions for filling in zero or more shapes.
19. A computer program product as recited in claim 16 , wherein the first portion of the image and the second portion of the image do not overlap in the image.
20. A computer program product as recited in claim 16 , wherein the first portion of the image and/or the second portion of the image include(s) a face.
