20090066726 | COMPOSITE IMAGE-GENERATING DEVICE AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR CAUSING COMPUTER TO FUNCTION AS COMPOSITE IMAGE-GENERATING DEVICE - A composite image-generating device includes: a geometric transformation table that assigns coordinates corresponding to positions of pixels of an output image on an input image received from a capturing section; and an output image-generating section that generates the output image by superimposing an overlay image based on overlay data associated with the positions of the pixels of the output image in the geometric transformation table on an image obtained by geometrically transforming the input image according to the geometric transformation table. | 03-12-2009 |
20110063325 | METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DISPLAYING AN OVERLAY ON A DEVICE DISPLAY SCREEN - Disclosed herein is a camera unit configured to capture an image, and a microprocessor configured to control a display to display the image and an overlay substantially simultaneously. In one broad aspect, at least one of the level of transparency, the brightness level, or the color value of the overlay is determined based on at least one of a representative brightness level or a representative color value associated with the image being displayed. | 03-17-2011 |
20140009497 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE SUPERIMPOSING SUPPLEMENTAL IMAGE ON ORIGINAL IMAGE - An image processing device performs: setting a focal pixel among a plurality of pixels in an original image that is represented by original image data; setting a pixel near the focal pixel as a near pixel; acquiring a degree of difference in luminance for the focal pixel and the near pixel; determining, based on the degree of difference, at least one of: a size of a supplemental image; a shape of the supplemental image; color of the supplemental image; and luminance of the supplemental image; and generating edited image data by editing the original image data, the edited image data representing an edited image obtained by superimposing the supplemental image on the original image, the supplemental image being superimposed on an area around the focal pixel in the original image. | 01-09-2014 |
20150062175 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A display device is provided that includes a transparent display unit, a setting unit that sets transparency of a first screen that is output in the foreground to the transparent display unit, and a controller that determines transparency of a background object that is seen through the transparent display unit, based on the transparency of the first screen that is set, such that the transparency of at least one of the background object and at least one region of the first screen is changed, based on a detected event that is associated with transparency control of the transparent display unit. | 03-05-2015 |
20160042723 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING DISPLAY THEREOF - An electronic device and a method of controlling a display of the electronic device are provided. The method includes arranging a first image and a second image vertically on different layers; measuring a tilt of the electronic device; and displaying at least one of the first image and second image by controlling transparency of the first image based on the measured tilt. | 02-11-2016 |

20080246777 | Method and apparatus for background replacement in still photographs - A first digital image is acquired of a framed area while illuminating the background and foreground object under a first lighting condition. A second digital image is then acquired of the same framed area while illuminating the background and foreground object under a second lighting condition. Preferably, the first lighting condition illuminates the background without illuminating the foreground object so that a silhouette of the foreground object is acquired in the first image. The second lighting condition illuminates the foreground object (e.g., with frontal lights). Due to the difference in the illumination between the background and silhouette in the first image, an alpha mask can be created from the first acquired image. Using the mask, the background from the second image can be removed and replaced by virtually any other desired background image. | 10-09-2008 |
20090213142 | Coding system and method for a bit-plane - A coding system and method for a bit-plane is disclosed. A bit-plane is decomposed or segmented into at least a background area and a foreground area. A number of encoders are provided for efficiently encoding the background area and the foreground area respectively. Accordingly, the performance of compression is substantially improved by this data or texture segmentation. | 08-27-2009 |
20120092375 | IN-BETWEENING INTERACTIVE STATES - Automatically creating a series of intermediate states may include receiving a start state and an end state of a reactive system, identifying one or more components of the start state and the end state and determining one or more events associated with the one or more components. One or more intermediate states between the start state and the end state, and one or more transitions from and to the one or more intermediate states are created using the one or more components of the start state and the end state and the one or more events associated with the one or more components. The one or more intermediate states and the one or more transitions form one or more time-based paths from the start state to the end state occurring in response to applying the one or more events to the associated one or more components. | 04-19-2012 |
