Abstract

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that cause a computerized system to: acquire at least one picture; analyze the at least one picture to provide analysis result; suggest to a user to acquire at least one other picture, if the analysis result indicates that there is a need to acquire at least one other picture; acquire the at least one other picture if instructed by the user; receive from the user metadata related to an acquired picture, the acquired picture is selected out of the at least one picture and the at least one other picture; and process the acquired picture in response to the metadata.

Claims (22)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that cause a computerized system to:

capture at least one image of a scene using a capturing device of a mobile device;

automatically analyze the at least one captured image to yield analysis result by a computer processor;

automatically suggest to a user to capture at least one additional image of said scene, based on the analysis result, and according to predefined criteria;

capture the at least one additional image of said scene only if instructed by the user within temporal proximity to the automatic suggestion;

receive from the user preferences related to a specific captured image, selected out of the at least one captured image and the at least one additional captured image; and

process at least one of the captured images in response to the user preferences.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to display the captured image to the user; and to receive from the user the preferences in response to the display of the captured image.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to display information about the captured image to the user; and to receive from the user the preferences in response to the display of the information.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to receive the preferences during a capturing of the captured image.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to process speech of the user that is sensed in proximity to the capturing of the captured image to extract the preferences.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 5 , wherein the speech does not include instructions aimed to the mobile device.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to process computerized system movements made in proximity to the capturing of the captured image to extract the user preferences.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to detect gestures made by the user to extract the user preferences.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to suggest capturing at least one additional image of a person if an amount of captured images in which the person appears is below a predetermined threshold.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to suggest capturing at least one additional image if an amount of captured images is below a predetermined threshold.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to suggest capturing at least one additional image if at least one of the captured images is of a quality that is below a predetermined threshold.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to suggest capturing at least one additional image if at least one of the captured images is out of focus.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to suggest capturing at least one additional image if at least one of the captured images comprises a partial image of a person and lacks a full image of the person.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to suggest capturing at least one additional image to be processed and provide a panoramic view of a scenery, only responsive to automatic detection of a panoramic capturing of the scene by the user.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to display instructions about an optimal manner to obtain the panoramic view.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , that stores instructions that cause the computerized system to obtain user preferences from the user by allowing the user to mark objects in the captured image.
