METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMAGE CAPTURE AND FACILITATED ANNOTATION
First Claim
1. A method for capturing and processing an image, comprising:
- capturing data representing a captured image with an image sensor;
retrieving steganographic marks hidden in said captured data;
image-processing said captured data based on said hidden marks, so as to generate image-processed data representing a modified image;
matching said image-processed data with reference data from a set of reference data representing different images;
rendering an annotated image based on said image-processed data.

Abstract
A method for capturing and processing an image, comprising: capturing a captured image with an image sensor; retrieving steganographic marks hidden in said captured image; processing said captured image based on said hidden marks, so as to generate a processed image; matching the processed image with a reference image from a set of reference images and superimposing elements on the captured image, depending on said reference image. A user device, comprising an image sensor suitable for capturing at least one image and a processor configured to at retrieve hidden marks in said captured image and generating a processed image based on said hidden marks retrieval and annotations processed remotely; the user device is part of a system with a remote server matching the image.

15. A method for capturing and processing an image, comprising:
-
capturing data representing a captured image with an image sensor; retrieving steganographic marks hidden in said captured data; image-processing said captured data based on said hidden marks, so as to generate image-processed data representing a modified image; sending the image-processed image to a remote server; receiving from said remote server either an annotated image or a set of annotations; displaying said annotated image or the image-processed image with said annotations. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

26. A system comprising:
-
at least one device with an image sensor suitable for capturing images and for identifying hidden marks in said image; and a remote server for receiving and transmitting data to said at least one device, to process at least a part of a captured image transmitted from said device and to send annotations or annotated images to said device.
