Methods and systems for generating image capture device parameter suggestions that would produce an image in, or closer to, a desired aesthetic style. In particular, the systems and methods described herein include pattern recognition techniques which are utilized to extract visual features from a set of images, those features defining an aesthetic style. The set of images comprise exemplars of said aesthetic style as well as images representing a plurality of variations in image capture parameters. An algorithm is trained to discriminate between exemplar and variation images based on their extracted visual features. When the system is presented with an input image the same visual features are extracted from it and are compared to the characteristic visual features of the exemplar and variation images with the trained discriminator algorithm. The similarity of the input image to exemplar and variation images are used to generate image capture device parameter suggestions.

Aesthetic learning methods and apparatus for automating image capture device controls

Methods and apparatus for adapting a control mapping associating sensor signals with control signals for controlling an operation of a device. The method comprises obtaining first state information for an operation of the device, providing the first state information as input to an intention model associated with an operation of the device and obtaining corresponding first intention model output, providing a plurality of neuromuscular signals recorded from a user and/or signals derived from the neuromuscular signals as inputs to a first control mapping and obtaining corresponding first control mapping output, and updating the first control mapping using the inputs provided to the first control mapping and the first intention model output to obtain a second control mapping.
