Abstract
A method of processing a digital image captured by a camera includes providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera; using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured; determining a transform for modifying the digital image from the measured air attributes; and applying the transform to the digital image to produce an improved digital image.

A method of processing a digital image captured by a camera comprising:
- (a) providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera;
- (b) using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured;
- (c) determining a transform for modifying the digital image from the measured air attributes;
- and
- (d) applying the transform to the digital image to produce an improved digital image.
A method of processing a digital image of a scene captured by a camera comprising:
- (a) providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera;
- (b) using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured;
- and
- (c) classifying regions of the digital image according to the type of material in the scene based on the measured air attributes.
A method of processing a digital image of a scene captured by a camera comprising:
- (a) providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera;
- (b) using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured;
- and
- (c) classifying the digital image as an indoor image or an outdoor image according to the measured air attributes.
A method of processing a digital image of a scene captured by a camera comprising:
- (a) providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera;
- (b) using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time the digital image was captured;
- (c) storing the digital image and the associated air attributes;
- and
- (d) locating the stored image in response to a query based on the measured air attributes.
A method of processing digital images of scenes captured by a camera comprising:
- (a) providing an ambient air measuring device associated with the camera;
- (b) using the ambient air measuring device to measure air attributes at substantially the time each digital image was captured;
- (c) storing the captured digital images and the associated air attributes;
- and
- (d) associating related stored digital images by using the measured air attributes;
