Detail-in-context lenses for digital image cropping and measurement
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- defining a line segment on an image displayed on a display of a data processing system to define points on the image to be measured between;
distorting the image by the data processing system in regions surrounding the points to give an appearance of a lens, the appearance of the lens including a focal region and a base region; and
displaying a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) on the display over one or more of the regions for adjusting the appearance of the lens.

Abstract
In one or more implementations, a cropped image is defined within a boundary on an original image displayed on a display. The original image is distorted to give an appearance of a lens being applied to the original image displayed on the display, the appearance of the lens including a focal region and a base region. A graphical user interface (“GUI”) is displayed on the display for adjusting the appearance of the lens.

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving one or more signals for adjusting a line segment on an original image displayed on a display of data processing system to define points on the image for measuring between; distorting the original image in regions surrounding the points to produce a distorted image on the display of the data processing system displacing the original image to give an appearance of a lens being applied to each of the regions; and perspectively projecting the displacing onto a plane on the display of the data processing system in a direction aligned with a viewpoint for the regions. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
