Patent Images
1. A method of generating an image, comprising the steps of:
- accessing a digital still image comprising a plurality of subjects;
applying a subject detection algorithm to the digital still image to detect the plurality of subjects to generate a plurality of subject images, each of the subject images comprising at least one detected subject; and
displaying, on a display of the imaging device, at least one portion of the digital still image comprising one of the plurality of subject images.
