Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for processing at least one digital image, a computer program element and a computer-readable storage medium.
- FIG. 2 shows a usual previous sequence of a method for printing, for example, advertising brochures or displaying product packaging, which is created in a lithography company as a digital image in a first print format.
- FIG. 2 shows in a block diagram 200 the previously usual
- a first digital print template of a product or a packaging of a product is created (step 201).
- Print template is available in a first print format and is used, for example, by means of a conventional one
- Image processing program for example the Photoshop TM program or a suitable DTP program (desk top
- one of the following color spaces is used to display the information in the first digital print template:
- the digital print template in the first print format represents the fine data of the digital print template provided by the lithography institute 201.
- a film is exposed using the digital artwork (step 203) and printing plates are created using the exposed film (step 204).
- Step 205 the product itself or the packaging itself is created as a prototype (dummy) of the product or the packaging
- the packaging 207 is supplied by the lithography company 201 to the actual manufacturer 208 of the product for which the packaging 207 is intended.
- the product manufacturer 208 After receiving the packaging, that is to say after receiving the prototype (step 209), the product manufacturer 208 takes a photograph of the packaging (step 210) via a photographer and scans the photo produced in a subsequent method step (step 211).
- a duplicate slide is made from the scanned analog photo or the scanned digital photo, again by exposing a film (step 212).
- the slide is scanned at a lithography company, so that a digitized image is generated (step 213).
- the digitized image is stored on a data carrier, for example on a CD-ROM together with a large number digitized images generated in the same way are stored, which overall form, for example, an electronic template for printing a product catalog or for displaying on an Internet / intranet page (step 214).
- the data carrier 216 is supplied to a printing house 217, from which the actual print of a catalog, generally a printout 217 of the respective packaging or the respective product, is generated.

In a further step, the digital image is converted from the second print format into a third print format, preferably when reading out from the image database.
- the existing contour information is usually retained in the third print format.
- the digital image is additionally converted from the second print format into a fourth print format, preferably into JPEG or JPEG2000, and stored in the image database.
- Each digital image which is in the fourth print format and is stored in the image database, can be assigned second textual data, the syntax of the second textual data being predetermined.
- first textual data and the second textual data can be viewed as metadata, the predefinable properties and characterizations,
- any information can be contained in the first textual data, for example also the specification of the lithography company which generated the digital printing template in the first printing format, the date or the location of the creation of the digital image in the first printing format.
- multimedia data in particular audio data
- a digital image which describe the product or the packaging in more detail, for example.
- print formats are preferably used as the third print format: • The PDF print format;
- a compression factor of greater than or equal to 0.8 has proven to be sufficient, so that it is ensured that the loss of information does not yet result in a loss of quality that is recognizable to the human eye.
- the digital image in the second print format and in the fourth print format can also be assigned different second textual data profiles with optional usage rights information, by means of which the usage rights of users to the digitized image in the second print format and in the fourth print format are specified in the syntax become.
- the encapsulated postscript printing format with a second color space representation in the RGB color space is used as the second printing format.
- the first textual data and / or the second textual data are coded in accordance with the IPTC standard (International Press and Telecommunication Council standard).
- access rights can be assigned to each digital image stored in the image database in the second print format or in the fourth print format, i.e. an indication of whether a user has read, write or read and write access to the respective digital image.
- access control to the database in which the digital images are stored is based on a role concept, for example with freely definable user groups.
- the access rights can be transferred electronically from another program, for example an internal company program.
- a user within the database immediately has the same access rights to the data archived in the database as to other data stored in a local computer network (intranet) of the company.

- usage rights 310 are assigned to the respective digital image as further metadata (step 311), with which the usage rights of a respective user are assigned with regard to the digital image, for example an indication of whether the user has no usage right at all, only reading usage right, or has all rights of use regarding the respective digital image.
- compression takes place simultaneously according to the JPEG standard or according to the JPEG2000- Standard with a compression factor of> 0.8, for example, when using the JPEG print format.
- the compressed digital images are archived in the database (step 312).
- the archiving ie the storage of the image data and the metadata, is carried out separately. Different characteristics of the metadata of an object are also assumed.
- the storage of the data is according to this
- the object data in other words the actual concrete file, for example the respective digital image, are stored in the file system of the host computer;
- the metadata including the information to which file the respective metadata is assigned, are stored in a relational database system;
- Image files of the archived media objects to subject the media objects to a separate search mechanism.
- the data is stored in the file system of the host computer in a hierarchical and abstract form, which is optimized for automatic search queries.
- visual derivations so-called renderings
- renderings are also automatically generated, which enable the graphic representation, vividly a reduced, color-correct representation of the object in the application surface.
- the linking of the respective object with metadata is controlled by the file type and is therefore dependent on this, as well as by the form of presentation in the application and the access rights assigned to the user.
- a graphic file of the JPEG type can, for example, be an image of a product with the dimensions, content, weight, EAN, etc. assigned to it
- JPEG graphic file can also be an image of a person - with naturally different metadata, which are assigned to this file.
- the metadata possibly coded according to different standards is mapped using predefined mapping tables.
- the mapping table defines automatic mapping of, for example, product mapping information to journalistic data fields in the IPTC context.
- mapping textual information coded in different formats into other required formats using the mapping table By mapping textual information coded in different formats into other required formats using the mapping table, the addition of additional information to an object is considerably simplified.
- the digital images are transferred from the JPEG compressed EPS format (generally the second print format) to a print shop computer 316 and thus to a print shop.
- the digital image in the second print format (for example in the EPS format or in the JPEG format) is converted into a digital image in the third print format, according to this exemplary embodiment into a PDF format.
- CMYK color space is usually used as a color space for the professional printing of an image in a print shop.
- the individual machine data e.g. the so-called pressure point increase
- the actual image is physically printed out there.
- the digital image (s) 315 in the third print format are transmitted to a print shop computer 316 and thus to a print shop and there the physical image is physically printed out 317.
- 4 a to 4 c show a representation of a multiplicity of digital images 400, which each represent an image of a packaging of a detergent. Textual data 401 are assigned to the digital images 400.
- the digital images 400 shown in FIGS. 4 a, b and 4 c are stored in the image database and are made available to the user for selection in the manner shown in FIGS. 4 a to 4 c.
- FIG 5 and 6 show an enlarged representation of a selected digital image 500, 600 with the textual data 501, 601 assigned to the digital image 500, 600 after selection from the large number of digital images, as shown in FIG to Fig. c are shown.
- 6 shows for the digital image 600, which represents a further packaging 600, the textual data 601 associated with the digital image 600 and thus with the packaging.
- the system can be integrated into a browser application, for example into an application which can display and process data encoded in accordance with the HTML format.
- a browser application for example into an application which can display and process data encoded in accordance with the HTML format.
- an interactive image processing of the digital graphic objects for example in the formats EPS, TIFF, JPEG.
- graphical sections of the media object are accessed interactively by a user using the application program.
- one or more partial areas of the image can be cut out by a user and can be further processed individually.
- each user By instantiating the object and the session of a user, as well as encapsulating the user sessions from each other, each user receives a view of the corresponding object resulting from his interaction.
- the encapsulation takes place on the server side.
- the administration of instances and sessions in the cache of the server computer ensures that the individual actions different users do not influence each other on the actually same object, which is, however, cached in several copies in the buffers for the respective processing.
- the web client / browser is interactively equipped with an interactive sub-program of the application program to enable the session-controlled individual view of an object and directly interactive (e.g. using drag & drop elements, function buttons, pop-ups, calculation aids for image formats) To be able to influence view.
- an interactive sub-program of the application program to enable the session-controlled individual view of an object and directly interactive (e.g. using drag & drop elements, function buttons, pop-ups, calculation aids for image formats) To be able to influence view.
- the user can also have “his” individual view transferred to his workstation computer and thus receive a copy of the processed object.
- Any suitable database synchronization protocol can be used according to the invention to ensure consistency of the processed objects.
- an ordering functionality based on an e-mail mechanism is integrated in the system according to the invention, customers or employees being automatically informed by e-mail as required depending on predefined events. Since the processing of high-resolution image data is not possible in real time on many computer systems used, but the user needs the prompt readiness of the application program for entering data or assigning data to a specific file object, an alternative embodiment of the invention provides that the acquisition process of an object is divided into several sub-areas and the sub-areas are separated from one another in terms of time.
- a fast and reliable type and consistency check (clearly a zero rendering) also enables the technical check of the file to be saved for correctness and compliance of predefined input criteria in real time.
- additional data of a different type can optionally be stored in the database and linked to one another and to the metadata and the image data.
- audio data or video data can be stored.
- the video data can be stored as a video file which contains a complete film, but alternatively or additionally it can also be provided, clearly create and save a storyboard of the film.
- the storyboard contains a plurality of, for example, 9 or 16 images from the video data, the images characterizing the video data as well as possible in a kind of summary, that is to say in other words, are significant for the video data.
- the images can be selected manually by a storyboard creator or automatically by means of a correspondingly configured selection device.
- the knowledge is taken into account that different arrangements and filtering of the information available in the database are required for different application purposes.
- colors are used in a web browser view to categorize or prioritize information.
- mapping of a data record are provided, which are automatically provided as a derivation from the existing data.
- the database system is coupled to a plurality of client computers via a telecommunications network such as the Internet
- the screens are calibrated with regard to their color and brightness display properties and the image data only after calibration transfer the client computer and be presented there to a user.
- a user of a client computer manually sets data display unit parameters on its data display unit, the data display unit parameters describing the respective data display unit of a client computer.
- the data display unit parameters After the data display unit parameters have been set, they are transmitted from the respective client computer to the server computer responsible for data transmission and stored there in a cookie file.
- the image information to be transmitted is adapted on the server side before the data transmission after reading out the image from the database to the characteristics of the respective data display unit of the client computer.
- the image information thus changed is transmitted to the respective client computer, so that an image display adapted and optimized to the respective data display unit of the respective client computer is made possible, in particular color representation and brightness representation and contrast representation.
