Abstract
The present invention includes methods, circuits, devices, apparatuses and systems for analyzing, characterizing and/or rating the composition of images. Further embodiments of the present invention include methods, circuits, devices, apparatuses and systems for providing instructive feedback or automatic corrective actions, relating to the quality of the composition of an image, to a user of an imaging device (e.g. digital camera, camera phone, etc.)—Optionally while the user is preparing to acquire an image, i.e. in real time. Embodiments of the present invention may further include methods, circuits, devices, apparatuses and systems for extracting image composition related rules based on analysis of composition parameters of rated images.
Claims10
An image composition analyzer, comprising:
- a web based forum module adapted to receive ratings of a first set of images, from viewers within a web based forum;
- a rule creating module adapted to create or modify one or more sets of image-composition-parameter rules based on an analysis of the received ratings and the composition parameters of the first set of images;
- receiving circuitry adapted to receive image data of a given photographic image;
- an automatic image composition analyzing module (ACA) comprising composition-analyzing logic adapted to:
- (a) automatically identify objects within the given photographic image;
- (b) automatically extract composition parameters relating to the identified objects;
- and
- (c) compare the extracted composition parameters to the one or more sets of image-composition-parameter rules.
A method for analyzing image composition of an image, said method comprising:
- receiving ratings of a first set of images, from viewers within a web based forum;
- creating or modifying one or more sets of image-composition-parameter rules based on an analysis of the received ratings and the composition parameters of the first set of images;
- receiving image data of a first image;
- automatically identifying, by use of processing circuitry, objects within the first image;
- automatically extracting, by use of processing circuitry, composition parameters relating to the identified objects;
- and
- comparing, by use of processing circuitry, the extracted composition parameters to the one or more sets of image-composition-parameter rules.
