Abstract
A method for dividing a digital image into regions comprises identifying potential region borders based on edge content in the digital image. The digital image is divided into regions based on user-selected ones of the potential region borders. A method of processing a region of a digital image comprises receiving gesture data for characterizing the region. A processing tool associated with the gesture data is automatically launched, and the region is processed using the processing tool.
Claims35
A method of dividing a digital image into regions, comprising:
- identifying potential region borders based on edge content in the digital image;
- and
- dividing the digital image into regions based on user-selected ones of the identified potential region borders.
A method of processing a region of a digital image, comprising:
- receiving gesture data for characterizing the region;
- automatically launching a processing tool associated with the gesture data;
- and
- processing the region using the processing tool.
A computer readable medium embodying a computer program for dividing a digital image into regions, the computer program comprising:
- computer program code identifying potential region borders based on edge content in the digital image;
- and
- computer program code dividing the digital image into regions based on user-selected ones of the identified potential region borders.
A computer readable medium embodying a computer program for processing a region of a digital image, the computer program comprising:
- computer program code receiving gesture data for characterizing the region;
- computer program code automatically launching a processing tool associated with the gesture data;
- and
- computer program code processing the region using the processing tool.
An interactive display system comprising:
- a touch screen that defines a touch surface on which a computer-generated image is presented;
- a sensor assembly detecting pointer contacts on the touch surface and in response, generating gesture data for characterizing a region of the computer-generated image;
- and
- processing structure receiving the gesture data and automatically launching a processing tool associated with the gesture data for processing the region.
