Abstract
In one example, a plurality of image frames captured by a digital camera unit are received. Received image frames may be still images or frames of a video sequence. Received image frames are automatically analyzed for detecting a possibility to process a plurality of image frames.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a digital camera unit configured to capture images in a first image capturing mode and a second image capturing mode;
- a display;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- receive a plurality of image frames captured by the digital camera unit in the first image capturing mode, wherein the plurality of image frames are captured in a same capturing session;
- and
- prior to processing the received plurality of image frames in the first image capturing mode:
- analyze, automatically, the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode;
- based at least on the analyzing, suggest, to a user, the second image capturing mode to process at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode, the first image capturing mode being different than the second image capturing mode;
- based at least on the suggesting, receive, from the user, a request to process, in the second image capturing mode, the at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode;
- and
- based at least on the requesting, process, using the second image capturing mode, the at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of image frames captured by a digital camera unit configured to capture images in a first image capturing mode and a second image capturing mode, the plurality of image frames being captured in the first image capturing mode, wherein the plurality of image frames are captured in a same capturing session;
- and
- prior to processing the received plurality of image frames in the first image capturing mode:
- analyzing automatically the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode;
- based at least on the analyzing, suggest to a user, the second image capturing mode to process at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode, the first image capturing mode being different than the second image capturing mode;
- based at least on the suggesting, receive, from the user, a request to process, in the second image capturing mode, the at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode;
- and
- based at least on the requesting, processing using the second image capturing mode, the at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode.

A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions for causing at least one processor of a computing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a plurality of image frames captured by the digital camera unit configured to capture images in a first image capturing mode and a second image capturing mode, the plurality of image frames being captured in the first image capturing mode, wherein the plurality of image frames are captured in a same capturing session;
- and
- prior to processing the received plurality of image frames in the first image capturing mode:
- analyzing, automatically, the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode;
- based at least on the analyzing, suggest, to a user, the second image capturing mode to process at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode, the first image capturing mode being different than the second image capturing mode;
- based at least on the suggesting, receive, from the user, a request to process, in the second image capturing mode, the at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode;
- and
- based at least on the requesting, processing using the second image capturing mode, the at least one image frame from the received plurality of image frames captured in the first image capturing mode.
