Systems, devices, and/or methods for managing images
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method comprising, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image, said first image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a saving or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that excludes said non-code zone.
1. A method comprising:
via a digital camera, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image captured by said camera, said first image being a grey-scale image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a storing or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that is devoid of said second plurality of pixels; and
calculating an average grey scale value for a clear zone surrounding said machine-readable two-dimensional code.
2. A method comprising:
via a digital camera, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image captured by said camera, said first image being a grey-scale image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a storing or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that is devoid of said second plurality of pixels; and
assigning an average grey scale value for a clear zone surrounding said machine-readable two-dimensional code to all pixels located outside said clear zone and within an outside boundary of said first image.
3. A method comprising:
via a digital camera, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image captured by said camera, said first image being a grey-scale image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a storing or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that is devoid of said second plurality of pixels; and
generating a masked image comprising said machine-readable two-dimensional code and a masked zone comprising only pixels located outside a clear zone surrounding said machine-readable two-dimensional code and within an outside boundary of the image, each pixel in said masked zone having a grey scale value approximately equal to an average grey scale value for said clear zone.
4. A method comprising:
via a digital camera, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image captured by said camera, said first image being a grey-scale image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a storing or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that is devoid of said second plurality of pixels; and
displaying a masked image comprising said machine-readable two-dimensional code and a masked zone comprising only pixels located outside a clear zone surrounding said machine-readable two-dimensional code and within an outside boundary of the image, each pixel in said masked zone having a grey scale value approximately equal to an average grey scale value for said clear zone.
5. A method comprising:
via a digital camera, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image captured by said camera, said first image being a grey-scale image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a storing or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that is devoid of said second plurality of pixels; and
storing a masked image comprising said machine-readable two-dimensional code and a masked zone comprising only pixels located outside a clear zone surrounding said machine-readable two-dimensional code and within an outside boundary of the image, each pixel in said masked zone having a grey scale value approximately equal to an average grey scale value for said clear zone.
6. A method comprising:
via a digital camera, responsive to a determination that a machine-readable two-dimensional code has been identified in a first image captured by said camera, said first image being a grey-scale image comprising a first plurality of pixels defining said machine-readable two-dimensional code and second plurality of pixels defining a non-code zone, automatically causing a storing or displaying of a second image that comprises said machine-readable two-dimensional code or a representation of said machine-readable two-dimensional code and that is devoid of said second plurality of pixels; and
responsive to a determination that said machine-readable two-dimensional code cannot be located in said first image, displaying a third image comprising a border of said first image and no content.
