Abstract

A wearable apparatus and methods may analyze images. In one implementation, a wearable apparatus for capturing and processing images may comprise a wearable image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be programmed to: analyze at least one image captured by the wearable image sensor; determine a positioning issue related to the wearable image sensor based on the analysis of the at least one image; determine, in response to the positioning issue, correction information for resolving the positioning issue; and cause the correction information to be provided to a user of the wearable apparatus.

Claims (43)

1 - 136 . (canceled)

137 . A wearable apparatus, the wearable apparatus comprising:

a wearable image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images; and

at least one processor programmed to:

analyze at least one image captured by the wearable image sensor;

determine a positioning issue related to the wearable image sensor based on the analysis of the at least one image;

determine, in response to the positioning issue, correction information for resolving the positioning issue; and

cause the correction information to be provided to a user of the wearable apparatus.

138 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the positioning issue includes an orientation of the wearable image sensor.

139 . The wearable apparatus of claim 138 , wherein the correction information includes a recommendation to change orientation of the wearable apparatus.

140 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the positioning issue includes an obstruction of the wearable image sensor.

141 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the correction information includes a recommendation to remove or reposition the obstruction.

142 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the positioning issue includes an obstruction of the wearable image sensor by the user of the wearable apparatus.

143 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the correction information includes a recommendation to move the wearable apparatus.

144 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the correction information is provided as audible output.

145 . The wearable apparatus of claim 144 , wherein the audible output is provided by a speaker of the wearable apparatus.

146 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the correction information is provided as text output.

147 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the correction information is provided to a mobile communications device wirelessly paired with the wearable apparatus.

148 . The wearable apparatus of claim 147 , wherein the correction information is configured to cause the mobile communications device to audibly output the correction information.

149 . The wearable apparatus of claim 147 , wherein the correction information is configured to cause the mobile communications device to output the correction information as text.

150 . The wearable apparatus of claim 137 , wherein the correction information comprises a generic recommendation to adjust the wearable apparatus.

151 . A non-transitory computer readable medium for use in a system employing a wearable image sensor pairable with a mobile communications device, the computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform steps, comprising:

receiving a plurality of images from the wearable image sensor;

performing image processing on at least some of the images;

determining based on the image processing, an impediment to quality image capture;

determining, in response to the determined impediment, correction information for resolving the positioning issue; and

presenting the correction information on a display of the pairable mobile communications device.

152 . A method for correcting the positioning of a wearable image sensor comprising:

analyzing at least one image captured by the wearable image sensor;

determining a positioning issue related to the wearable image sensor based on the analysis of the at least one image;

determining, in response to the positioning issue, correction information for resolving the positioning issue; and

causing the correction information to be provided to a user of the wearable apparatus.

153 . The method of claim 152 , wherein the positioning issue includes an orientation of the wearable image sensor.

154 . The method of claim 153 , wherein the correction information includes a recommendation to move the wearable apparatus.

155 . The method of claim 152 , wherein the positioning issue includes an obstruction of the wearable image sensor.

156 . A wearable apparatus, the wearable apparatus comprising:

a wearable image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images; and

at least one processor programmed to:

analyze at least one image captured by the wearable image sensor;

determine a positioning issue related to the wearable image sensor based on the analysis of the at least one image;

determine, in response to the positioning issue, correction information for resolving the positioning issue, wherein the correction information comprises executable instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to automatically resolve the positioning issue; and

execute the correction information to automatically resolve the positioning issue.
