Abstract
A handheld camera for the output of an image sensed by the camera, including a digital image capture device for the capturing of digital images; a tiling device for automatically adding tiling effects to a captured image to produce a tiled image; and a printer for printing out immediate photos by the camera. The tiling device is algorithmically driven by the captured image to produce the tiling effects.
Claims10
A handheld camera for the output of an image sensed by said camera, said camera including:
- a digital image capture device for digitally capturing an image;
- tiling means for automatically adding tiling effects to a captured image to produce a tiled image, said tiling means being algorithmically driven by said captured image to produce said tiling effects;
- and
- a printer device for printing out an image produced by said camera.
A method of producing an output image for a handheld camera, said method comprising the steps of:
- digitally capturing an input image;
- manipulating a captured image so as to automatically add tiling effects to said captured image, said step of manipulating being algorithmically driven by said captured image to produce said tiling effects;
- and
- outputting said manipulated image on a printer device for printing out an image produced by said camera.
