A device, method and computer program product for creating viewable content on an interactive display is provided. The method includes providing a user interface on a device for creating viewable content from a collection comprising at least one multimedia content. The method includes causing the user interface, by a processor, to present an interactive display to the user. The method includes presenting the collection on the interactive display. Further, the method includes receiving one or more gesture inputs by the user on the collection, wherein each gesture input indicates at least one of a desired effect to be performed and a region to be displayed on a viewport of the device. Furthermore, the method includes creating a viewable content from the at least one multimedia content of the collection based on the one or more gesture inputs.

Device, method and computer program product for creating viewable content on an interactive display using gesture inputs indicating desired effects

An electronic device is described which has a memory storing an image for display to a user. The device has a shape recognizer which receives drawing input as a result of the user drawing at a location of the displayed image; and a semantic segmentation component which carries out image analysis of the image to compute one or more object classes of objects depicted at the location. The shape recognizer is configured to recognize the drawing input as being in a computed graphical item class of a plurality of pre-specified graphical item classes by analyzing a shape of the drawing input and by using information about the computed object classes of the one or more objects depicted at the drawing input location in the image. The processor is configured to offer at least one graphical item of the computed graphical item class for input to the electronic device.

Data entry system with drawing recognition

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for controlling video playback speed using user interaction. In aspects, user input may be detected during an aspect of video playback. The user input may correspond to, for example, adding user notes or drawings using one or more input devices (e.g., a stylus, a finger, etc.) to a video being played back. A set of features of the interaction may be determined using one or more sensors. Based on the determined features, a video playback speed may be determined and applied to the video. The video may be played at the determined video playback speed for the duration of the detected user input. When the user input is no longer detected, the video playback may automatically resume at the normal playback speed.

Control video playback speed based on user interaction

A method may comprise: obtaining a preliminary frame sequence and at least one still image frame, captured by a digital camera during shooting a scene; obtaining at least one of indication of fulfillment of a predetermined starting scene condition in at least one frame of the preliminary frame sequence and indication of fulfillment of a predetermined first camera condition prevailing during capturing the preliminary frame sequence; automatically selecting a starting frame from the preliminary frame sequence on the basis of at least one of fulfillment of the starting scene condition and fulfillment of the first camera condition; and automatically forming, from the preliminary frame sequence and the at least one still image frame, a displayable frame sequence for displaying a living image of the scene, the living image comprising a still image and a preceding image sequence, the frame sequence starting by the starting frame and having a still image frame as a stopping frame for displaying the still image.

Adjusting length of living images

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for image processing for enhancing, e.g., photos, videos, and graphics representations. Particularly, some embodiments perform a histogram-based SMQT decomposition of various attributes in an original image. The SMQT decomposition of these attributes may then be used to create a look-up-table indicating how to modify pixel attributes in the same or a subsequent image so as to enhance the same or subsequent image. The results of the SMQT decomposition for each attribute may be interpolated based, e.g., on user preferences, to achieve a more optimal enhancement.
