ABSTRACT:
An interactive photo system that provides an interesting and entertaining way to link photos from the digital and analog domains. The system enables easy conversion of a paper-based photo into digital form. The conversion process generally involves a user holding up a paper-based photo image in front of a camera of the system, such that the captured image is rendered in a specific location on a display screen. The system adjusts the captured image for orientation and illumination irregularities in creating a digital version of the paper-based photo. The system further includes a database of digital images and a content retrieval engine to which content from the just-converted digital image can be used as a search query to search the database for other similar digital photos.
