| ArcSoft Announces New Embedded Imaging Solutions ArcSoft has announced three new embedded software imaging solutions. The solutions optimize photos taken in common situations encountered by amateur photographers, and are available as software development kits for digital cameras and camera phones. The ArcSoft PerfectPortrait Capture addresses problems that arise when capturing portrait photos, such as red eye, shadowed faces, closed eyes, washed out faces, and unpleasant expressions. The component technologies include FaceTracking, Smile Detection, Blink Detection, and Automatic Red-Eye Removal. Together, these technologies enable even inexperienced users to easily create "picture perfect" portraits with every shot. The ArcSoft LoLight Capture solution enhances photos taken in unfavorable lighting conditions – photos that are too dark, have been taken with a flash, or have back or side lighting. The component technologies include Anti-Shaking, which reduces both local and global blur; Dynamic Lighting, which brightens underexposed areas, balances overexposed areas, and enhances dynamic range; and Smart De-Noise, which reduces photo noise based on camera sensors and ISO values. The ArcSoft Panorama solution includes three algorithms for producing panoramic images. StillCapture creates the panoramic image using multiple photos taken in quick succession. BurstCapture creates the image from a "burst" shot, in which the user spins in place while the camera automatically captures the component photos. VideoCapture creates the image out of a video clip. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
