Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- capturing a first image with a camera attached to a wearable device in a manner which fixes a line of sight of the camera relative to the wearable device;
transmitting the first image to a computing system;
receiving or providing an indication of an adjustment to a location relative to a center of the first image or an orientation of the first image;
generating a configuration parameter corresponding to the adjustment to the location relative to the center of the first image or the orientation of the first image;
storing the configuration parameter in memory of the computing system;
retrieving the configuration parameter following receipt of a second image from the camera; and
automatically adjusting the second image in accordance with the configuration parameter.

Abstract
Examples described herein include methods and systems for adjusting images which may be captured, for example, by a wearable camera. The wearable camera may be devoid of a viewfinder. Accordingly, it may be desirable to adjust images captured by the wearable camera prior to display to a user. Image adjustment techniques may employ physical wedges, calibration techniques, and/or machine learning techniques as described herein.

13. A method comprising:
-
holding a computing system in a particular position relative to a body-worn camera; displaying a machine-readable symbol on a display of the computing system; capturing an image of the machine-readable symbol with the body-worn camera; and analyzing the image of the machine-readable symbol to determine an amount of rotation, shift, crop, or combinations thereof, to align the image of the machine-readable symbol with a view of a user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computing system comprising:
-
at least one processing unit; and memory encoded with executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the computing system to; receive an image captured by a wearable camera; and manipulate the image in accordance with a machine learning algorithm based on a model developed using a training set of images. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
