A method and device for adapting a display image on a hand-held portable wireless display and digital capture device. The device includes a camera for capturing a digital video and/or still image of a user, means for adjusting the captured digital image in response to poor image capture angle of said image capture device so as to create a modified captured digital image; and means for transmitting said modified captured digital image over a wireless communication network to a second hand-held portable wireless display and digital capture device.

Portable video communication system

The present disclosure relates to an image capture device and a technique for capturing an image. The technique includes selecting at least one subject displayed on an image capture device as an image trigger condition and entering a threshold level corresponding to the at least one image trigger condition. The technique further provides monitoring a signal from at least one sensor detecting the at least one image trigger condition and obtaining at least one digital image upon detecting the sensed image trigger condition meeting the threshold level.

Camera configurable for autonomous operation

The present disclosure relates to an image capture device and a technique for capturing an image. The technique includes configuring an image capture device in a learning mode for sensing at least one variable in the device's surroundings and defining a normal state of the at least one variable. Further, the technique includes initiating image capture upon detecting a transition of the at least one variable from the normal state to a new condition, wherein the transition exceeds a predetermined threshold level, and redefining the normal state to the new condition.

A method of removing noise from a color digital image, including receiving an original color digital image including a plurality of pixels represented in a primary-color space; producing at least one residual digital image and at least one base digital image from the original color digital image, the base digital image having a lower spatial resolution then the original color digital image; producing a noise reduced base digital image by removing noise from the residual image and the base digital image with a noise reduction filter and combining the noise reduced base digital image with the noise reduced residual image to produce a reconstructed digital image having reduced noise; transforming the reconstructed digital image into a luminance-chrominance color space; repeating the above process to produce a reconstructed luminance-chrominance digital image; and transforming the reconstructed luminance-chrominance digital image into a noise reduced digital image in the original primary color space.
