Digital cameras and methods for using digital cameras incorporate or append authentication stamps in digital images. Each authentication stamp contains information that is useful in authenticating the source of a digital image, and thus an authentication process can use the authentication stamp to determine whether the digital image is authentic or was modified outside the camera.
Programmable Control Of Operational Signals In A Digital Camera
A programmable controller for digital cameras is operable with a variety of alternative camera components. The programmable controller can include a programmable clock signal generator that controls the period and waveform of a clock signal to generate symmetric or non-symmetric clock signals, a programmable reference signal generator that controls analog reference signals for analog components, and/or a programmable micro-stepper controller that generates stepping control signals to a stepping motor for zoom or focus operations.
The invention relates to a digital camera and the methods for using a digital camera. The digital camera includes a programmable processor that provides for flexible operation of the digital camera. The programmable processor also provides the digital camera manufacturer the capability of economically configuring the digital camera as desired. The programmable processor also provides the digital camera user with on demand specialized imaging modes such as the capture mode and the cineview mode.
Digital Camera And Method For Communicating Digital Image And At Least One Address Image Stored In The Camera To A Remotely Located Service Provider
A photo service provider provides remote developing, printing, and delivery of photographic prints of digital images. In one embodiment, a handheld digital camera can send to the photo service provider one or more digital images with address information (e. g. , one or more address image created in the camera) indicating destinations for the digital images or photographic prints. One or more additional images or instructions associated with the delivery addresses can indicate the size or quantity of the prints to be delivered. The camera can be coupled to a data communication network through which the camera directly sends the selected images to the photo service provider. At a server of the service provider, one or more photographic prints of the selected images are automatically printed, packaged, and sent to the delivery addresses.

H04N 5/228 H04N 3/14 H04N 5/335
US Classification:
3482221, 348272, 348312
Abstract:
A digital image process for a digital camera contains a preprocessor and a postprocessor. The preprocessor can include, for example, a uniformity corrector, a sampling filter, a modulation transformer, and a ditherer. The postprocessor can include a color interpolator, an RGB reconstruction block, a digital compressor, and a color pattern data buffer. The digital image process is programmable to operate one or more of the processing blocks of one or both the preprocessor and the postprocessor for flexible programming that can adapt to the requirements of various digital camera designs or users.

Abstract:
There is provided a digital image processor. An exemplary digital image processor comprises a pre-processor arranged to pre-process received digital images having a first resolution into a lower resolution to form pre-processed digital images. The pre-processor may be arranged to output the pre-processed digital images to a display independently from the received digital images being stored for subsequent post-processing. The exemplary digital image processor may also comprise a post-processor arranged to post-process received digital images that have been stored for post-processing.
