Cameras, other imaging devices, and methods having non-uniform image remapping using a small data-set of distortion vectors
First Claim
1. A digital memory containing a plurality of different modification files for modifying a captured electronic image, each of the modification files comprising:
- (a) a template including an opening; and
(b) processing control information which instructs a processor to form an output image by;
(i) generating a background image showing a portion of the captured electronic image,(ii) applying the template over less than all of the background image;
(iii) generating a modified version of a section of the portion of the captured electronic image; and
,(iv) overlaying the opening with the modified version of the electronic image.

Abstract
A camera has a body and an electronic capture unit mounted in the body. The electronic capture unit selectively captures and stores a scene image as a representational electronic image having a first array of pixels. A control system is mounted in the body. The control system provides a remapped electronic image having a second array of pixels. A memory unit is disposed in the body. The memory unit stores a data-set defining an non-uniform mapping between a plurality of primary input coordinates mappable on said first array of pixels and plurality of primary output coordinates mappable on said second array of pixels. The control system uses the data-set to remap the pixels of the input electronic image to provide the remapped electronic image.

18. A method for modifying a captured electronic image, comprising:
-
(a) providing a modification file, the modification file including (i) a template including an opening; and (ii) processing control information; (b) communicating the modification file over a network to a processor, and; (c) using the processor and the modification file to form an output image by; (i) generating a background image showing a portion of the captured electronic image, (ii) applying the template over less than all of the background image; (iii) generating a modified version of a section of the portion of the captured electronic image; and
,(iv) overlaying the opening with the modified version of the electronic image. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
