Abstract
A method of identifying contiguities in images is disclosed. The contiguities are indicative features and various qualities of an image, which may be used for identifying objects and/or relationships in images. Alternatively, the contiguities may be helpful in ensuring that an image has a desired switching factor, so as to create a desired effect when combined with other images in a composite image. The contiguity may be a group of picture elements that are adjacent to one another that form a continuous image element that extends generally horizontally (e.g., diagonally, horizontally) across the image.
Claims13
A method of analyzing images comprising:
- determining, by a machine, one or more contiguities of an image, the contiguity being a group of picture elements that are adjacent to one another that form a continuous image element that extend at least as much horizontally as vertically and that extends a horizontally across most the image, the machine including processor system having one or more processor and a memory system;
- determining, by the processor system, a value that represents how many contiguities are in the image;
- and
- determining, by the machine, features of the image based on one or more computed aspects of the image that include at least the contiguities and the value representing how many contiguities are in the image.
A machine-implemented method comprising:
- determining, a machine, one or more contiguities of a plurality of images, the contiguity being a group of picture elements that are adjacent to one another that form a continuous image element that extend at least as much horizontally as vertically and that extends a horizontally across most the image, the machine including processor system having one or more processor and a memory system;
- receiving at a machine a first image, the machine including at least a processor system having one or more processors and a memory system;
- determining, by the processor system, a value that represents how many contiguities are in each of the plurality of images;
- selecting at least two images from the plurality of images based on a category of each image and based on the value of that represents how many contiguities are in each image;
- removing, by the processor system, one or more vertical strips of the first image;
- and
- forming a composite image of the first image and second image in which the second image is visible in portions of the composite image where the one or more vertical strips of the first image was removed and showing the first image in remaining portions of the composed image where the vertical strips were not removed.
A system comprising:
- A processor system having one or more processor and
- a memory system storing one or more machine instructions which when invoked cause the processor to implement a method comprising:
- determining, a machine, one or more contiguities of an image, the contiguity being a group of picture elements that are adjacent to one another that form a continuous image element that extend at least as much horizontally as vertically and that extends a horizontally across most the image, the machine including processor system having one or more processor and a memory system;
- determining, but the processor system, a value that represents how many contiguities are in the image;
- and
- determining, by the machine, features of the image based on one or more computed aspects of the image that include at least the contiguities and the value representing how many contiguities are in the image.
