A method for browsing a collection of digital images on a soft-copy display comprising: receiving a collection of digital images; interactively user selecting a digital image using a user interface; determining a plurality of subsets of the digital images, wherein each subset shares a common category with the selected digital image; and displaying the subsets of digital images on the soft-copy display, together with the selected digital image.

Interactive image selection method

Image selection method amongst a plurality of digital images () classified in a plurality of images categories (), the method comprising the following steps: &#x2014;allocating to each image at least one strength value (), &#x2014;allowing an user to select () images amongst the plurality of digital images, &#x2014;collecting () user data, &#x2014;updating () the strength value of all images classified in a same category than an image selected by the user as a function of the collected user data, and &#x2014;upon selection of an image by the user, automatically selecting () at least one additional image classified in at least one same category than an image selected by the user, and for which the strength value exceeds a threshold value &#x2014;making the selected images available () for subsequent use.

Image data representing a captured image of an environment or a portion thereof, and electric-field data representing electric fields present in the environment or a portion thereof are received. The electric-field data and the image data represent information gathered from an overlapping portion of the environment. A candidate object is identified in the overlapping portion and classified as animate or inanimate based at least upon an analysis of the image data and the electric-field data.

Detection of animate or inanimate objects

A method and system for ordering digital image goods and/or services with respect to an image provided as a low resolution digital file and a low resolution digital image file. The method includes transmitting the low resolution digital image file to a server at a remote image service provider over a communication network, manipulating the image and/or ordering of goods and/or services with respect to the image, and transmitting of the high resolution digital image file.

Method and system for ordering image related goods and services

Described herein is an arrangement for correcting the contrast of X-ray images to reveal details which are not otherwise visible. The arrangement comprises a conventional illumination box (10) for illuminating an X-ray (12), a camera arrangement (14) for viewing the illuminated X-ray film (12), the camera arrangement (14) including a camera unit (18) having a lens (20) mounted in a light tight box (16), a processing unit (22), and display means (24, 28) for displaying an image with the corrected contrast. The contrast is corrected using the characteristic curve of the processed film material on which the X-ray image is recorded in accordance with the following equation: ##EQU1## where E is the exposure,
