This invention relates generally to image processing, and more particularly to retargeting images.
The diversity and versatility of print and display devices imposes demands on designers of multimedia content for rendering and viewing. For instance, designers must provide different alternatives for web-content, and design different layouts for different rendering applications and devices, ranging from tiny "thumbprints" of images often seen in selections menus, small, low resolution mobile telephone screens, slightly larger PDA screens, to large, high resolution elongated flat panel displays, and projector screens. Adapting images to different rendering applications and devices than originally intended is called image retargeting.
Conventional image retargeting typically involves scaling and cropping. Image scaling is insufficient because it ignores the image content and typically can only be applied uniformly. Scaling also does not work well when the aspect ratio of the image needs to change, because it introduces visual distortions. Cropping is limited because it can only remove pixels from the image periphery. More effective resizing can only be achieved by considering the image content as a whole, in conjunction with geometric constraints of the output device.
Image resizing is an alternative tool for image retargeting. Image resizing works by uniformly resizing a source image to a size of target display. While resizing an image, there is a desire to change the size of the image while maintaining important features in the content of the image. This can be done with top-down or bottom-up methods. Top-down methods use tools such as face detectors to detect important regions in the image, whereas bottom-up methods rely on visual saliency methods to construct visual saliency map of the source image. After the saliency map is constructed, cropping can be used to display the most important region of the image.
One method generates automatically thumbnail images based on either a saliency map or the output of a face detector, Suh et al., "Automatic thumbnail cropping and its effectiveness," UIST '03; Proceedings of the 16th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology, ACM Press, New York, N.Y., USA, 95-104, 2003. A source image is cropped to capture the most salient region in the image. Another method adapts images to mobile devices, Chen et al., "A visual attention model for adapting images on small displays," Multimedia Systems 9, 4, 353-364, 2003. In that method, the most important region in the image is automatically detected and transmitted to the mobile device.
Another method use eye tracking, in addition to composition rules to crop images intelligently, Santella et al., "Gaze-based interaction for semiautomatic photo cropping," ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), 771-780, 2006, incorporated herein by reference. In that method, a users looks at an image, while eye movements are recorded. The recordings are used to identify important
image content, and can then automatically generate crops of any size or aspect ratio.
All of the above rely on conventional image resizing and cropping operations to retarget of the image.
Another method uses an adaptive grid-based document layout that maintains a clear separation between content and template, Jacobs et al., "Adaptive grid-based document layout. In Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH, 838-847, 2003. A designer constructs several possible templates. When the content is displayed, the most suitable template is used.
A compromise between image resizing and image cropping is to use non-linear, data dependent: scaling for image retargeting, Liu et al., "Automatic Image Retargeting with Fisheye-View Warping," ACM UIST, 153-162, 2005. They use image information, such as low-level salience and high-level object recognition to find important regions in the source image. Then, they apply a non-linear image
warping function to emphasize important aspects of the image while retaining the surrounding context.
Another method uses an automatic, non-photorealistic method for retargeting large images to small size displays, Setlur et al., "Automatic Image Retargeting. In the Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia (MUM), ACM Press, 2005. They decompose the image into a background layer and foreground objects. The retargeting method segments an image into regions, identifies important regions, removes them, fills the resulting gaps, resize the remaining image, and re-insert the important regions.
Another method uses a feature-aware texture mapping that warps an image to a new shape, while preserving user-specified regions. Gal et al., "Feature aware texturing," Eurographics Symposium on Rendering, 2006. They solve a particular formulation of the Laplace editing technique suited to accommodate similarity constraints in images. However, local constraints are propagated through the entire image to accommodate all constraints at once, and may sometimes fail.
Another method composes a novel photomontage from several images, Agarwala et al., "Interactive digital photomontage," ACM Trans. Graph. 23, 3, 294-302, 2004. A user selects ROIs from different input images, which are then composited into an output image. Another method uses drag-and-drop pasting, Jia et al., "Drag-and-drop pasting." Proceedings of SIGGRAPH, 2006. They determine an optimal boundary between the source and target images. Another method generates a collage image from a collection of images, Rother et al., "Autocollage," Proceedings of SIGGRAPH 2006. None of these compositing methods address image retargeting.
Another method simultaneously solve matting and compositing, Wang et al., "Simultaneous Matting and Compositing," Microsoft Research Technical Report, MSR-TR-2006-63 (May) 2006. They allow the user to scale the size of a foreground object and paste the object back onto the original background.
Another method "stitches" image together based on a cost functions, Zomet et al., "Seamless image stitching by minimizing false edges," IEEE Transactions on Image Processing 15, 4, 969-977, 2005. They minimize an L1 error norm between the gradients of a stitched image and the gradients of the input images.
Changing the appearance of an image has been extensively described in the field of texture synthesis, where the goal is to generate an output image that has different texture than an input image, while preserving the basic idea of the content, U.S. Pat. No. 6,919,903, issued to Freeman et al. on Jul. 19, 2005, "Texture synthesis and transfer for pixel images." That method does not consider image retargeting.
Another method performs object removal, Bertalmio et al., "Simultaneous structure and texture image inpainting." Proceedings IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 707-714, 2000. They use image inpainting to smoothly propagate information from the boundaries inwards, simulating painting restoration.
Patch based methods, approaches use automatic guidance to determine synthesis ordering, "Fragment-based image completion," Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH, 303-312, 2003, and Criminisi et al., "Object removal by exemplar-based inpainting," In IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 417-424, 2003.
Another interactive method provides inpainting for images missing strong visual structure, by propagating structure along user-specified curves, Sun et al., "Image completion with structure propagation," Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH, 2005.
The embodiments of the invention provide a method for content-aware image retargeting that uses geometric constraints as well as image content constraints. The embodiments provide minimum energy seam applications that support content-aware image retargeting. The seam applications can reduce and increase the size of images, while preserving a rectangular (or square) shape.
As defined herein, a seam is an optimal n-connected set of pixels in an image extending either from the top edge to the bottom edge, or from the left edge to the right edge, where optimally is defined by an energy of the image. A seam is one pixel wide.
By applying the seam to the image, the size of the image can be changed. The applying can either remove or insert seams to change, e.g., an aspect ratio of the image, e.g., from 4:3 to 16:9. In a preferred embodiment the seam is eight-connected.
By applying the seam operation in both directions, a source image can be retargeted for a smaller or larger display. The selection and order of the seams preserver the content of the image, as defined by the energy function.
The seam applications can also be used for image content enlargement and object removal. The embodiments of the invention provide various visual saliency measures for defining the energy of an image, and can also include user input to guide the retargeting process. By storing the order of seams in a memory, a multi-size image can be generated to support real-time retargeting of an image to any size.
As shown in
Input to our method is the source image 100. From the source image, we generate an energy image 112 using an energy function 111. Using a minimizing function 121, we determine 120 one or more minimal energy seams 122. Each seam 122 can then be applied 130, one or more times, to the source image 100 to produce a target image 109. An optimal order 132 in which the seems 122 are applied 130 can be according to an objective function 131.
The application of the seams 122 can increase or decrease the size of an image, changing the aspect ratio, remove content, i.e., selected objects, or enlarge the content of the source image while preserving the rectangular shape of the image. The retargeting can be done in either the pixel intensity domain or gradient domain.
The embodiments of the invention use seam applications, which can change the size of an image by gracefully removing or inserting pixels in different parts of the image. The retargeting uses the energy function 111 to define the 'importance' of pixels in the source image. The retargeting can support several types of energy functions such as gradient magnitude, entropy, visual saliency, eye-gaze movement, and object detections, e.g., faces, pedestrians.
A seam is defined as a set of pixels, one pixel wide crossing the image from top edge to the bottom edge, or from the left edge to the right edge. By successively removing or inserting seams, it is possible to reduce, as well as to enlarge, the size of an image in both directions. For image reduction, seam selection ensures that the basic image structure is preserved by removing more of the low energy pixels, while retaining high energy pixels.
For content enlargement, the order 132 of seam insertion ensures a balance between the original image content and the artificially inserted pixels. This defines, in effect, retargeting of images in a content-aware fashion. Seam removal and insertion can be used to change the aspect ratio, image retargeting, image content enlargement, and object removal.
Furthermore, by storing the order 132 of seam removal and insertion applications and carefully interleaving seams in both vertical and horizontal directions multi-size images can be defined. Such images can continuously change their size in a content-aware manner. A designer can author a multi-size image once, and the client application, depending on the size needed, can resize the image in real time to fit the exact layout or the display.
Our method removes or inserts pixels in an unnoticeable manner using the energy image 112. Particularly, we only remove or insert pixels where the pixels blend with surrounding pixels. Pixels that are similar to or blend with neighboring pixels are said to have a low energy. Pixels that are dissimilar to neighboring pixels are said to have a high energy. Therefore, we generate the energy image 112 from the source image 100 according to the energy function 111:
where I(x, y) is a particular pixel. As stated above, other energy functions can also be used.
Given the energy function, there are several ways to change the size of the source image while preserving its basic rectangular (or square) shape. An optimal strategy maximizes as much energy in the target image as possible, i.e., we retain pixels with higher energies, and remove pixels with lowest energies in an ascending order. However, this could change the shape of the image, because we may remove a different number of pixels from each row or column of pixels.
If we want to prevent the image from becoming distorted, then we can remove an equal number of low energy pixels from every row. This preserves the shape of the image but destroys the image content by creating visible zigzag effect. To preserve both the shape and the visual coherence of the image we can use cropping. That is, we locate a sub-window in the source image that is the size of the target image, which has a highest energy. Another possible strategy, somewhat between removing pixels and cropping, is to remove entire columns of pixels with the lowest energy. However, this might still produce annoying, artifacts.
Therefore, we use a method that is less restrictive than cropping or column removal, but can still preserve the image content and shape better than single pixel removals. This leads to our seam applications 130, and our definition of seams 122.
As shown in
A seam is a one pixel wide set of pixels through a source image I 100. A seam can extend from one edge of the image to an opposing edge. The edges can be the top and bottom edges, or the left and right edges. The seam has exactly one pixel for each index along a particular dimension in which the seam is oriented. For example, if the orientation dimension is vertical, the vertical seam has exactly n pixels.
A vertical seam 101 is:
s x ={s i x}i=1 n={(x(i), i)}i=1 n , s.t. ∀i,|x(i)−x(i−1)|≦1, (2)
where x is a mappings x: [1, . . . , n]→[1, . . . , m]. That is, the vertical seam 101 is an eight-connected path, from the top edge to the bottom edge, containing one, and only one, pixel in each of n rows of pixels in the image 100.
Similarly, a horizontal seam 102 is:
s y ={s j y}j=1 m={(j,y(j))}j=1 m , s.t. ∀j|y(j)=y(j−1)|≦1 (3)
where y is a mapping y: [1, . . . , m]→[1, . . . , n]. That is, the horizontal seam 102 is an eight-connected path, from the left to the right, containing one, and only one, pixel in each m columns of pixels in the image 100.
The pixels on the of seam s, e.g., vertical seam {si} 101, are
I s ={I(s u)}i=1 n ={I(x(i), i)}i=1 n.
Note that similar to removing an entire row or column from an image, removing the pixels of a seam from an image has only a local effect. All the pixels of the image are shifted left (or up) to compensate for the removed pixels. The visual impact, if any, is only noticeable only along the seam, leaving the rest of the image intact. If the removed or inserted pixels have a low energy, then the visual impact is negligible.
If an image has 240�320 image, i.e., 240 rows and 320 columns, then it has a 4:3 aspect ratio. Changing the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 image can be performed either by inserting vertical seams, or by removing horizontal seams. By inserting 106 vertical seams, we obtain a 240�426 image. By removing 60 rows, we obtain a 180�320 image. Both resulting images have a 16:9 aspect ratio. The first method has the advantage of only adding pixels, none of the original pixels are removed.
We can replace the constraint |x(i)−x(i−1)|≦1 with |x(i)−x(l−1)|≦k,
and obtain either an entire column (or row) for k=0, or a piece-wise connected pixels, see FIG. 1D—not to scale, or even a complete or partially disconnected pixels for any value 1≦k≦m, see
Given the energy function e(I), we define the energy of a seam as
E(s)=E(I s)=Σi=1 n e(I(s i)).
We use the following minimizing function 121 to locate the optimal minimal energy seam s* 122:
The optimal minimal energy seam s* 122 can be found using dynamic programming. A first step traverses the pixels of the image, one row at the time, and determines a cumulative minimum energy M for all possible seams for each entry
At the end of this process, the minimum of the last row in M indicates the end of a minimal connected vertical seam. Hence, in the second step, we backtrack from this minimum in row M to find the path of the optimal seam 122. The optimal minimal energy horizontal seams can be found in a similar manner.
Energy Preservation Measure
To evaluate the effectiveness of the different strategies for our content-aware retargeting, we determine an average energy of all of pixels in the source image 100 as:
during retargeting. Randomly removing pixels keeps the average unchanged, while content-aware retargeting increases the average as the retargeting removes low energy pixels and retains high energy pixels.
There are several well known image Importance measures that we can use, such as the L1-norm, the L2-norm of the gradient, a saliency measure, and a Harris-corners measure.
Discrete Image Resizing
Aspect Ratio Change
We want to change the aspect ratio of a source image I from n�m to n�m′, where m−m′=c, some constant. This can be achieved by successively removing c vertical seams from the image I. In contrast with conventional scaling, the seam applications 130 according to our invention do not alter important parts of the image, as defined by the energy function 111. In effect, this generates a non-uniform, content-aware resizing of the image.
As shown in
Retargeting with Optimal Seams-Order
Image retargeting generalizes aspect ratio change such that an image I of size n�m is retargeted to size n′�m′. We assume that m′<m and n′<n. The optimal order 132 for pixel removal is an optimization of the following objective function 131:
where k=r+c, r=(m−m′), c=(n−n′) and αi is a parameter mat determines whether we remove a horizontal or vertical seam at step i:
α1ε{0, 1}, Σi=1 kα1 =r, Σ i=1 k(1−α4)=c.
We find the optimal order using a transport map T that specifies, for each desired target image size n′�m′, the cost of the optimal sequence of horizontal and vertical seam applications 130.
That is, an entry T(r, c) in the transport map T stores a minimal cost needed to obtain an image of size n−r�m−c. We determine T using dynamic programming.
Starting at T(0,0)=0, we determine for each entry (r, c), selecting the best of two options, either removing a horizontal seam from an image of size n−r�m−c+1, or removing a vertical seam from an image of size n−r+1�m−c:
where In−x�m−c denotes the image of size n−r�m−c, and E(sx(I)) and E(sy(I)) are the costs of the respective seam applications.
Given the transport map T and target size n′�m′, where n′=n−r and m′=m−c, we can backtrack from T(r, c), and find the optimal path by successively moving to the minimum of the top and left neighbors of the current entry, until we reach T(0, 0). Selecting a left neighbor corresponds to a vertical seam application, while selecting the top neighbor corresponds to a horizontal seam application.
Increasing Image Size
The process of removing vertical and horizontal seams can expressed as a time-evolution process. We denote I(t) as a smaller image generate after t seam have been removed from the source image I.
To increase the size of an image, we approximate an 'inversion' of this time evolution and insert new 'artificial' seams in the image. Hence, to increase the size of the source image I by one, we determine the optimal vertical (horizontal) seam s in the image source I, and duplicate the pixels of seam s by averaging the pixels with their left and right neighbors, or top and bottom in the case of a horizontal seam.
Using the time evolution notation, we denote the resulting target image as I(−1). Repeating this process generates a stretching artifact by selecting the same seam. To achieve effective increasing, it is important to balance between the original image content and the inserted pixels.
Therefore, to increase the size of an image by k, we find the first k seams for removal, and duplicate these seams in order to obtain the image I(−k). This can be viewed as the process of traversing back in time to recover pixels from a larger image that would have otherwise been removed by seam removals.
To continue in a content-aware fashion for an excessive image size increase, for instance, greater than 50%, we break the process into several steps. In each step, we enlarge not more than a fraction of the size of the image from the previous step, essentially guarding the important content from being stretched.
Content Enlargement
Instead of increasing the size of the image, our image retargeting can be used to magnify or enlarge the content of the image, while preserving its size and shape. This can be achieved by combining seam removal and standard image scaling. To preserve the image content as much as possible, we first use conventional image scaling to increase the size of the image. Then, we apply seam removal on the larger image to reduce the image back to its original size, see
Seam Removal in the Gradient Domain
There are times when removing multiple seams from a source image still causes noticeable visual artifacts in the target image. To overcome this, we can combine seam removal with a Poisson reconstruction, see U.S. Pat. No. 7,038,185 issued to Tumblin et al. on May 2, 2006, "Camera for directly generating a gradient image."
Specifically, we determine the energy image 112 as before, but instead of removing the seams from the source image, we work in the gradient domain and remove the seams from the x and y derivatives (gradients) of the source image. At the end of this process we use a Poisson solver to reconstruct the target the image 109.
Object Removal
We can also remove an object from the source image. The pixels associated with the object are marked, and then seams are removed from the image until all marked pixels are gone. We can automatically determine the smaller of the vertical or horizontal diameters, in terms of pixels, of the target removal region and perform vertical or horizontal removals accordingly, see
Multi-Size Images
So far, we assume that the size of the target image 109 is known. However, this might not be possible in some cases. Consider, for example, an image embedded in a web page. The page designer does not know, ahead of time, at what size the web page will eventually be displayed. Therefore, the designer cannot generate a single target image. In a different scenario, the user might want to explore target images with different sizes, and select a most suitable size.
Seam applications are linear in the number of pixels, and image retargeting is therefore linear in the number of seams to be removed or inserted. On the average, we can retarget an image of size 400�500 to 100�100 in a couple of seconds. However, determining tens or hundreds of seams for multiple different sized images is a challenging task when it is to be done in real time.
To address this issue, we provide a representation of multi-size images that encodes, for a source image 100 of size (m�n), an entire range of retargeting sizes from 1�1 to m�n, and even larger to N′�M′, when N′>n, M′>m. This information enables retargeting an image continuously in real time. From a different perspective, this can be seen as storing an explicit representation of the time-evolution implicit process of seam applications.
First, consider the case of changing the width of the source image shown in
For example, pixels removed by the first seam get the index number 1, and are deemed less important than pixels removed by seam with index number 20.
This representation supports image enlarging as well as image reduction. For example, if we want to support enlarging of the image up to size M′>m, we enlarge the image using seam insertion to a size n�M′ as described above.
However, instead of averaging the pixels in the kth seam with the pixels in the two neighboring seams, we do not modify the source image pixels in the seam, but insert new pixels to the image as the average of the kth seam and its left (or right) pixel neighbor. The inserted seams are given a negative index starting at −1.
To enlarge the source image by k, (m<k<M′), we use exactly the same procedure of gathering, from the enlarged image, all pixels whose seam index is greater than (m−(m+k))=−k, and obtain an image of size m−(−k)=m+k.
Determining a horizontal index map H for image height enlarging and reduction is achieved in a similar manner, see
Constructing Consistent Index Maps
Determining the horizontal index map H and the vertical index map V independently for multi-size image does not work. To see why, we start with a definition. The maps H and V are consistent if every horizontal seam intersects all the vertical seam indexes, and every vertical seam intersects all horizontal seam indexes.
Consistency assures that removing a seam in any dimension removes exactly one pixel from all seams in the other dimension, retaining the index map structure. If consistency is not maintained, then after removing one horizontal seam we might be left with vertical seams with different number of pixels and the rectangular structure of the image is affected.
Aside from limiting seams to be rows or columns in one (or two) of the dimensions, we described another approach to this problem, that is restricted to temporally 0-connected seams. These are seams that are spatially connected on the source image I(0).
For such seams, the only possible violation of consistency between the H and V maps can occur in diagonal seam steps. Our method first determines temporally 0-connected seams in one direction, e.g., vertical, and then impose the constraints on the diagonal when determining the seams in the other direction.
To understand why the only violation of consistency occurs in diagonals, assume without loss of generality, that some vertical seam jε{1, . . . , m} violates the consistency constraint. This means that the seam does not intersect all horizontal seams 1, . . . , n. Hence, the seam must touch some horizontal seam iε{1, . . . , n} more than once.
Denote the pixels where seam j intersects seam i as p and q. Because pixels p and q are part of a vertical seam j, the pixels cannot be in the same row. However, the pixels are also part of the horizontal seam i, and cannot be in the same column.
Let us examine the rectangle defined in its two corners by p and q. Seams i and j are connected inside this rectangle and the seams touch the corners. However, one is a vertical seam and the other a horizontal seam. The only possibility for this to happen is that the rectangle is in fact a square, and both seams pass through the diagonal of the square.
Note that the above deduction relies on the fact that all seams are connected in the image at one place, which is not true if we use non 0-connected seams, see
For each pair of rows, we can find the optimal set of 1-edge paths linking all pixels of one row to all pixels of the next row. The global multiple seam paths from the top of the image to the bottom is the concatenation of those 1-edge paths.
Finding the best 1-edge paths between a pair of rows is similar to a weighted assignment problem where each pixel in one row (column) is connected to its three neighboring pixels in the other row (column). We use the well known Hungarian algorithm to solve this weighted assignment problem. The Hungarian algorithm is described in, for example, a textbook entitled "Network: Programming," by K. Marty, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1992, pp. 168-187.
After we find the multi-seams paths in one dimension, we repeat the process in the other dimension, but we mask out every diagonal edge that was already used by any of the first direction seams. This guarantees that the seams in the second dimension are consistent with the first dimension as shown for the consistent seams of
The embodiments of the present invention provide seam applications for content-aware image retargeting. Seams are determined as optimal minimum energy paths in a source image. Pixels can be removed or inserted along the seams.
The seam applications can be used for a variety of image manipulation operations including: aspect ratio change, image resizing, content enlargement and object removal. The seam applications can be integrated with various saliency measures, as well as user input, to guide the retargeting process. In addition, the invention provides a data structure for multi-size images that support continuous retargeting in real time.
Although the invention has been described by way of examples of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that various other adaptations and modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is the object of the appended claims to cover all such variations and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Pilomatricomas, also called pilomatrixomas or calcifying epitheliomas of Malherbe, are benign skin neoplasms of hair follicle origin. First described in 1880 by Malherbe and Chenantais,1 the tumors were believed to be of sebaceous cell origin. In 1961, Forbis and Helwig2 renamed the lesion pilomatricoma, indicating that the progenitor cells were cortical cells of the hair germinal matrix.

What is the right approach to multi-channel retail in international franchise markets?
A l'heure où certains « brick & mortar » comme John Lewis, Dixons, Carphone et d'autres vont maintenant réaliser 50% de leur chiffre d'affaires total en ligne, nous encourageons nos clients à penser 50/50. Il faut maintenant imaginer comment – sans contrainte dans un premier temps – nos clients pourraient concevoir leur business dans un monde 50/50. L'idée qui en résulte est radicalement différente de la distribution telle qu'on la voit aujourd'hui, expliquant l'étendue de la transformation requise.
Javelin Group est reconnu pour son expertise dans ce domaine. Notre force provient de notre modèle vertical combinant (a) une attention forte sur la transformation stratégique omni-canal avec (b) un large spectre d'expertises incluant stratégie e-commerce, expérience utilisateur omni-canal, magasins, marketing digital, logistique, technologie, organisation et prévisions / modèles financiers.
Ceci nous permet de répondre à des questions auxquelles d'autres cabinets ne peuvent répondre, telles que :
Veuillez consulter ci-dessous la liste des clients en stratégie omni-canal, ou contactez Gregory Boulanger via firstname.lastname@example.com ou par téléphone au +33 (0) 1 53 23 55 55 pour discuter de vos besoins.
Javelin Group leveraged its global omni-channel expertise to assist Comfy in designing an omni-channel strategy that would drive value in a highly challenging macroeconomic and commercial environment. The Javelin Group team worked closely and effectively with Comfy in order to understand the nature and dynamics of the Ukrainian market. It adapted and tailored its plans to reflect the unique nature of the market and delivered a detailed set of actionable, pragmatic recommendations. We have now implemented many of their recommendations and would not hesitate to endorse them to other retailers.
Gennadii Verbylenko, Chief Executive Officer, Comfy.
We are now thrilled to offer our customers a seamless multi-channel experience across all devices, on a robust platform. We have seen a 50% improvement in site performance and an immediate uplift in sales following the launch of our new website. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Javelin Group and we have already engaged the team for ongoing and future work.
Pieter Heij, Multi-Channel & IT Director, de Bijenkorf.
Javelin Group carried out a detailed strategic review and performance improvement analysis of our online and multi-channel business and identified many high value opportunities in our online marketing, merchandising, user experience and cross-channel activities, which we then implemented. This excellent work can justifiably claim a fair share of the credit for the 88% growth that Debenhams.com then experienced over the next 12 months.
Michael Sharp, COO, Debenhams.
We hired Javelin Group to assist in developing a 2 year multi-channel roadmap which prioritised our multi-channel initiatives and created cost/benefit cases for each one. Javelin Group's forecasts have been highly accurate and we have successfully implemented a number of key initiatives from this work. We recently retained Javelin Group to repeat the exercise for a specific part of our multi-channel programme and again, they have identified significant sales opportunities for the business. Their detailed knowledge of key benchmarks and best practice across both business and IT has been invaluable on both pieces of work.
Robyn Doyle, Head of eCommerce Strategy & Planning, Dixons Carphone.
We engaged Javelin Group to help build an omni-channel strategy for our B2B and B2C Building Material businesses in the Nordics. Javelin Group worked closely with us, understood our B2B challenges, and linked the latest ecommerce thinking to our industry. Javelin Group challenged existing strategies, and through a 360 degree approach and a very comprehensive list of projects and initiatives, we now have a real plan for how to become the omni-channel leader in our industry. We're very happy we choose Javelin Group to help us – they proved to be true omni-channel experts.
Ole Mikael Jensen, President & CEO, DT Group.
The team and their work have been exceptional and have won the support of our entire management team. We have already commissioned more work from Javelin Group and have every intention of building a long-term working relationship with the team.
Phil Walker, Chief Marketing Officer, Gala Coral Group.
We are extremely proud of our new mobile commerce website and the exceptional user experience it offers our customers. Javelin Group has again successfully delivered a challenging project, and it was a pleasure to work with the team.
Tony Preedy, Marketing Director, Lakeland.
Just a quick note to thank everyone at Javelin Group for what's been achieved with our new website. We've been consistently impressed with how efficiently and professionally the project has been run, and how smooth the launch process was. Most importantly of course we're delighted with the website itself, and the feedback from customers and our staff has been very positive. I know your team has been working extremely hard to make this happen. It's a pleasure to work with a partner who are so invested in the success of the project, and everyone concerned deserves great credit for a job well done. I look forward to future projects with Javelin Group.
Richard Weaver, eCommerce Director, Majestic Wine.
Javelin Group has worked with us on both the definition and execution of our omni-channel strategy. Javelin Group's unique ability to define a strategic vision, while at the same time providing detailed operational recommendations, has helped ensure that the strategy permeates all levels of our organisation. The fact that Javelin Group is working for omni-channel leaders has been key in terms of business and organisation recommendations. We are pleased with our choice to have Javelin Group accompany us on our journey of omni-channel transformation.

Unboxing the BirdCam Pro
There's a new BirdCam from Wingscapes called the BirdCam Pro. It offers several improvements over the BirdCam 2 which it replaces. Here are some first looks as a brand new one comes out of the packaging.
The BirdCam Pro consumer packaging provides a glimpse of the device through a window in the box. Like the BirdCam 2, it is a motion-activated, point-and-shoot camera with an 8 megapixel sensor. It can also be set for time-lapse photos. Mount it pointed at a bird feeder or other target where birds or critters visit to capture their JPEG photos or short AVI videos.
The back of the box shows setup examples and features. The box reveals that the camera has no internal memory like the BirdCam 2, but will accept up to 32 GB SD cards. The '2' would only accept a 4 GB card. The box also reveals that this camera is WiFi SD card compatible and will record sound as well as stills and video.
The device, manuals and accessories are organized in a second inner container.
A tape measure, mounting arm and mounting strap are included with the BirdCam Pro. The mounting arm is a new and welcome addition. It can be attached to a wrought iron shepherd's hook as an example.
In addition to the user's manual, a BirdCam Discovery Guide booklet is packaged with the device. This shows some sample setups and lures and BirdCam photos of common garden birds.
The BirdCam Pro is a bit wider and noticeably shorter than the BirdCam 2 (left). Without batteries, it feels roughly the same weight as the BirdCam 2. Notice that the LCD display of the 'Pro' is not visible through the front cover.
Opening the front cover reveals a new color LCD on the 'Pro' which can be used to preview photos and set up the unit (right). This display is better protected from the weather than on the BirdCam 2. It will be necessary to open the front cover to check battery and memory status. Also, unlike the '2,' the new display remains off until activated, according to one of the reviews. This should help to prolong battery life. Battery power is also saved by the new LED flash arrays. Improved power management of the 'Pro' allows up to 6 months battery life according to Wingscapes. That's a big improvement over the '2.' Even without using flash, I was changing batteries on the BirdCam 2 about once a month. One review indicates that image quality has also been improved.
Depth of field setting can be fine tuned from six inches to infinity with the focus dial. This is another improvement over the '2' which had only four ratchet settings. I had one BirdCam 2 that consistently focused behind the target. Wingscapes kindly replaced it and no doubt added this feature to avoid that problem.
The BirdCam Pro also includes a view finder as well as a laser pointer for aiming the device. That screw socket is a second mounting site (there's also one on the bottom) which accepts a standard camera tripod mounting screw. The one feature that is still missing, in my opinion, is a spirit level. This would be very helpful to get it set up straight and proper.
The BirdCam Pro uses six C-cell alkaline batteries instead of four D-cells. They are housed in a cassette which ejects from the bottom of the device. This provides better weather protection and makes them easier to install than on the '2,' but again there is also a disadvantage. To change the batteries, it will be necessary to remove the camera from its mounting arm or tripod. That's a small price to pay, however, if the promised 6-month battery life is a reality.
I am looking forward to getting this new BirdCam Pro set up and running. Wingscapes appears to have addressed specific weaknesses of the BirdCam 2 with their new product. My first impressions are very positive and I am anxious to see the photos the BirdCam Pro will produce.

Nice rug! :) While I'm not that into how this works, I look forward to photos from this new Bird cam. I've enjoyed seeing a pileated woodpecker in Carkeek Park recently, two sightings for the first time in over 10 years of walking there (heard them before but not seen them). Also a bunch of widgeons down at the beach yesterday. I'm not a hard core birder but enjoy recogizing the "greatest hits" that I recognize.

"I don't have no trouble with you fuckin' me. But I have a little problem with you NOT fuckin' me."

This is basically the most passive-aggressive way ever of asking, "Do you want to have sex with me?

Come on man... when you place the emphasis on "NOT", which ODB didn't do in the actual song, you ruin the timing of his joke. What makes the joke work is how he emphasized "fucking" again in the second line.ReplyDelete
Not only are you wrong, what you are saying doesn't make sense.ReplyDelete
See ya.
Jay Smoothe: the emphasis is most definitely on the NOT.ReplyDelete
circular reasoning tricks many a conquest. don't count it out!ReplyDelete

For the sake of the joke, it doesn't matter where the emphasis actually is.ReplyDelete
Its like Borat doing Not Jokes "I have a problem with you fucking me....NOT."

The San Nicolas Community Museum is is a small museum offering a very large amount of information to anyone who asks for it. Despite its name, the San Nicholas Community Museum has exhibits that span around the entire globe and all eras of the world's history.
The main focus of the museum is indeed San Nicholas and Aruban history, showcasing exhibits that offer insights to how the people lived and how communities functioned. In addition though, the museum also features prehistoric fossils, original international art work, as well as first-hand accounts and primary sources of world events. Any history buff of Aruba or history in general will want to think about visiting.
San Nicolas Community Museum is located in San Nicolas, which means travelers to this part of Aruba will be excited to have easy access to this museum during their time there. With just a small number of hotels in the community surrounding San Nicolas Community Museum, only a little tourist traffic should be expected.
|Club Arias
|2.8 mi. (13.0 km)
|Cunucu Arubiano
|7.3 mi. (8.1 km)
|Talk Of The Town Hotel And Beach Club
|9.6 mi. (2.0 km)
|Surfside Beach Marina Hotel
|9.8 mi. (1.8 km)
Outdoor activities like golfing and heading to the beach are also enjoyed by many in the surrounding areas. Guests who will enjoy trying out their proficiency on the course, will want to do so at the most convenient golfing facility, which is Aruba Golf Club. If you aren't a golfer, additional outdoor opportunities can still be found at Saventa Beach, which is the closest coastline to visit. However, an additional selection of outdoor opportunities are available in the neighborhood. If you'd like to remain indoors, there is also a brief selection of additional attractions within a short range. One of the few indoor sites surrounding the museum that you will most likely love is Aruba Model Train Museum.
The museum has limited hours, and it is a good idea to call ahead. However, the normal public viewing hours are Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:00am to 6:00pm, as well as Thursday and Sunday from 10:00am until 2:00pm.
To gain admission into the museum, visitors will have to pay $2.
Location: Main Street, San Nicolas, Aruba

Little Big Planet 2 announced
Media molecule, the creator of Playstation 3 hit Little Big Planet, has announced that it's got a sequel to the title in development, surprising a grand total of no-one. We've embedded the trailer above.
The forthcoming sequel, which still stars the original's Sackboy, will apparently feature "so many new tools and objects in here that will grant you ultimate creative power to build amazing things, not just vastly improved levels, but entire games too". That last point, in particular, sets it apart from its predecessor.
Media Molecule added: "We've also built a grand adventure of our own, using the very same tools you'll have, and filled it up to the very brim with new characters, stickers, objects, things, wotsits and fluff, all spread generously across a set of themes that'll take you all around the cosmos and back, as you try to save creator curators everywhere from a mysterious giant hoover-type thing!"
If that sounds like your cup of tea, then stay tuned for more. We'll bring you all the detail as it arrives in our inbox.

Love it or loathe it: Victoria Beckham
We reckon onlookers might have been distracted from watching the Wimbledon's tennis men's final when seeing Victoria Beckham's outfit. The designer looked very sexy indeed in a slinky black neglige-style dress with lace detail, teamed with black heels. A loose updo and aviator shades finished off the classy do. What do you think? Too much for a tennis match?
