A method of storing a digital image file, includes the steps of: storing a header defined by a standard; storing image data encoded according to the standard after the header; and storing an image tail containing non-standard meta-data at the end of the image data.

Digital image storage method

A method for performing content-based temporal segmentation of video sequences, the method comprises the steps of transmitting the video sequence to a processor; identifying within the video sequence a plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments using a plurality of type-specific detectors; analyzing and refining the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments identified in the identifying the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments step; and outputting a list of locations within the video sequence of the identified type-specific individual temporal segments.

Fade-in and fade-out temporal segments

A method for performing content-based temporal segmentation of video sequences, the method comprises the steps of transmitting the video sequence to a processor, identifying within the video sequence a plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments using a plurality of type-specific detectors; analyzing and refining the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments identified in the identifying the plurality of type-specific individual temporal segments step; and outputting a list of locations within the video sequence of the identified type-specific individual temporal segments.

Method for content-based temporal segmentation of video

A digital image processing method for detecting when and where an image has been altered or modified includes the steps of generating an edge map of an original digital image; convolving the edge map with a carrier signal to generate a dispersed edge map; and combining the dispersed edge map with the original digital image to create a combined image. The combined digital image is checked to determine if it has been modified by correlating the carrier signal with the combined image to produce a recovered edge map; and comparing the recovered edge map with the original image to detect modifications to the combined image.

Digital image processing method and computer program product

A system for the storage of a digital image in an image database, the system comprises: a processor; software for automatically generating with said processor open space metadata from the digital image independent of manually inputting data; and software for storing the open space metadata along with the associated image in the image database.

System and method for open space metadata-based storage and retrieval of

A method for detecting open space in a digital image, the method comprises the steps of creating an activity map for permitting determination of the activity of the digital image; determining which pixels in the activity map are below a threshold; and identifying open space as contiguous pixels of the activity map having values below the predetermined threshold.
