Abstract
An apparatus and method for identifying image capture opportunities. Expert photo agents (526) that process metadata extracted from a captured image are obtained (706) at a user-device (102). Metadata (214) characterizing visual content of a captured image is produced (310) by processing the visual content of the captured image. Image capture opportunities are selected (410) based upon processing of the metadata with the at least one expert photo agent. The image capture opportunity selection specifies content to capture in a subsequent image.
Claims20
A method for identifying image capture opportunities, the method comprising:
- obtaining, at a user-device, at least one expert photo agent adapted to process metadata extracted from a captured image;
- producing metadata characterizing visual content of a captured image, the metadata being produced by processing the visual content of the captured image;
- and
- determining, in response to producing the metadata, an image capture opportunity selection at the user-device based upon processing of the metadata with the at least one expert photo agent, the image capture opportunity selection specifying content to capture in a subsequent image.
An image capture opportunity detector, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor adapted to:
- obtain, at a user-device, at least one expert photo agent adapted to process metadata extracted from a captured image;
- produce metadata characterizing visual content of a captured image, the metadata being produced by processing the visual content of the captured image;
- and
- determine, in response to producing the metadata, an image capture opportunity selection at the user-device based upon processing of the metadata with the at least one expert photo agent, the image capture opportunity selection specifying content to capture in a subsequent image.
An image capture opportunity image capturing device, comprising:
- a camera;
- at least one environmental sensor;
- a memory;
- a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, the camera, and the environmental sensor, the processor adapted to:
- obtain, at a user-device, at least one expert photo agent adapted to process metadata extracted from a captured image;
- produce metadata characterizing visual content of a captured image, the metadata being produced by processing the visual content of the captured image;
- determine, in response to producing the metadata, an image capture opportunity selection at the user device based upon processing of the metadata with the at least one expert photo agent, the image capture opportunity selection specifying content to capture in a subsequent image;
- and
- configure the camera to capture, with the at least one capture parameters defined by the image capture opportunity selection, the subsequent image.
