Production of modified image inventories
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising a non-volatile machine-readable medium storing a program having instructions which when executed by a processor will cause the processor to produce an inventory of optimized-exposure modified image products from frames of a digital video work, each frame comprising a still image in sequence in the work, the instructions of the program for:
- assigning metadata to each optimized-exposure modified image of the digital video work, the image metadata including an identification of the work, provenance of the work, an identification of the optimized image exposure values present in the work, and an identification of any monochromatic color effects applied to the images present in the work;
detecting objects in each frame'"'"'s image;
recognizing the objects;
assigning metadata to the recognized objects, including recognition of the object;
for each frame, generating a cryptographic hash of, altogether, the frame'"'"'s image, the frame metadata, and the object metadata;
adding a watermark to the cryptographic hash; and
writing the watermarked cryptographic hash to a node of a transaction processing network.

Abstract
There are disclosed methods and apparatus for enhancing the image exposure of image inventories. A frame conversion and packaging machine assigns metadata to each frame of a digital video work. It takes objects that have been detected, recognized and assigned metadata to the objects by the frame slicing and packaging machine and enhances the image exposure and assigns new items of metadata to the enhanced-exposure modified images. The frame conversion and packaging machine then generates a cryptographic hash of the enhanced-exposure modified image'"'"'s digital file. The frame conversion and packaging machine writes the hash to a node of a transaction processing network. Further, there are disclosed methods and apparatus for conversion of monochromatic image inventories to colored image inventories. A frame color-conversion and packaging machine assigns metadata to each frame of a digital video work. It takes objects that have been detected, recognized and assigned metadata to the objects by the frame slicing and packaging machine and converts the original monochromatic images to fully colorized images and assigns new items of metadata to the color-converted images. The frame color-conversion and packaging machine then generates a cryptographic hash of the color-converted modified image'"'"'s digital file. The frame color-conversion and packaging machine writes the hash to a node of a transaction processing network.
