Electronic imaging system using a removable software-enhanced storage device

摘要

An electronic imaging system including an electronic camera for capturing and storing images, said system comprising:
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ a storage device removable from the camera for storing the images captured by the electronic camera, said device preloaded with software for operating the electronic camera, the electronic camera including:
an image sensing section for electrically capturing an image;
a signal processing section for processing the electrically captured image;
a programmable processor for controlling the signal processing section of the electronic camera;
an interface for loading the programmable processor with the software preloaded in the removable storage device wherein the software preloaded in the removable storage device includes a plurality of selectable image processing algorithms; and
user selection means for selecting a particular image processing algorithm to provide different modifications of the image.
