Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An input image ( 7 ) having a first pixel resolution is acquired from an image capture system ( 2 ). A respective characterization of each of at least one visual quality feature of the input image ( 7 ) is determined. An output thumbnail image ( 9 ) is produced from the input image ( 7 ). The output thumbnail image ( 9 ) reflects the respective characterization of each visual quality feature. The output thumbnail image ( 9 ) has a second pixel resolution lower than the first pixel resolution. The output thumbnail image ( 9 ) is output in association with operation of the image capture system ( 2 ).
