Gesture Mapping for Image Filter Input Parameters
First Claim
1. An image processing method, comprising:
- receiving, at an electronic device, a selection of a first filter to apply to an image;
receiving input from one or more sensors in communication with the electronic device;
associating a first input parameter for the first filter with the received input;
assigning a value to the first input parameter based on the received input;
applying the first filter to the image to generate a first filtered image, the first input parameter having the assigned value; and
storing the first filtered image in a memory.

Abstract
This disclosure pertains to systems, methods, and computer readable medium for mapping particular user interactions, e.g., gestures, to the input parameters of various image processing routines, e.g., image filters, in a way that provides a seamless, dynamic, and intuitive experience for both the user and the software developer. Such techniques may handle the processing of both “relative” gestures, i.e., those gestures having values dependent on how much an input to the device has changed relative to a previous value of the input, and “absolute” gestures, i.e., those gestures having values dependent only on the instant value of the input to the device. Additionally, inputs to the device beyond user-input gestures may be utilized as input parameters to one or more image processing routines. For example, the device'"'"'s orientation, acceleration, and/or position in three-dimensional space may be used as inputs to particular image processing routines.
