Abstract
Embodiments for facilitating recording images to improve quality by a processor. A candidate image of a first device is compared against a database of previously saved images. One of the previously saved images obtained by a second device, and thereby, stored context metadata associated with the one of the previously saved images, is selected. The stored context metadata of the one of the previously saved images is provided to the first device, such that a configuration on the first device is selectable to be changed to match a configuration of the second device used to obtain the one of the previously saved images.
Claims18
A method, by a processor, for facilitating recording images to improve quality, comprising:
- comparing a candidate image of a first device against a database of previously saved images;
- selecting one of the previously saved images obtained by a second device, and thereby, stored context metadata associated with the one of the previously saved images;
- providing the stored context metadata of the one of the previously saved images to the first device such that a configuration on the first device is selectable to be changed to match a configuration of the second device used to obtain the one of the previously saved images;
- and
- upon selecting the context metadata from the one of the previously saved images:
- adapting the context metadata to the first device, including adapting a setting of the second device to the first device by extrapolating device parameter used by the second device compromising a first device type or model to capture the one of the previously saved images and using the extrapolation to adapt the setting of the first device compromising a second device type or model;
- wherein the configuration on the first device is matched to the configuration of the second device notwithstanding whether or not the device parameters are set to be identical;
- and wherein adapting the context metadata further includes using the extrapolation of the device parameters used by the second device to adapt the setting of the second device to the first device while commensurately adapting device parameters used by the first device according to the current physical surroundings of the first device to obtain the candidate image having image characteristics resembling the one of the previously saved images,
- sending the adapted setting to the first device, and
- automatically changing the configuration on the first device to incorporate the adapted setting.

A system for facilitating recording images to improve quality, comprising:
- a processor, operational within and between a distributed computing environment, that
- compares a candidate image of a first device against a database of previously saved images,
- selects one of the previously saved images obtained by a second device, and thereby, stored context metadata associated with the one of the previously saved images,
- provides the stored context metadata of the one of the previously saved images to the first device such that a configuration on the first device is selectable to be changed to match a configuration of the second device used to obtain the one of the previously saved images, and
- upon selecting the context metadata from the one of the previously saved images:
- adapts the context metadata to the first device, including adapting a setting of the second device to the first device by extrapolating device parameters used by the second device comprising a first device type or model to capture the one of the previously saved images and using the extrapolation to adapt the setting of the first device comprising a second device type or model;
- wherein the configuration on the first device is matched to the configuration of the second device notwithstanding whether or not the device parameters are set to be identical;
- and wherein adapting the context metadata further includes using the extrapolation of the device parameters used by the second device to adapt the setting of the second device to the first device while commensurately adapting device parameters used by the first device according to current physical surroundings of the device to obtain the candidate image having image characteristics resembling the one of the previously saved images,
- sends the adapted setting to the first device, and
- automatically changes the configuration on the first device to incorporate the adapted setting.

- and
- an executable portion that, upon selecting the context metadata from the one of the previously saved images:
- adapts the context metadata to the first device, including adapting a setting of the second device to the first device by extrapolating device parameters used by the second device comprising a first device type or model to capture the one of the previously saved images and using the extrapolation to adapt the setting of the first device comprising a second device type or model;
- wherein the configuration on the first device is matched to the configuration of the second device notwithstanding whether or not the device parameters are set to be identical;
- and wherein adapting the context metadata further includes using the extrapolation of the device parameters used by the second device to adapt the setting of the second device to the first device while commensurately adapting device parameters used by the first device according to current physical surroundings of the first device to obtain the candidate image having image characteristics resembling the one of the previously saved images,
- sends the adapted setting to the first device, and
