    摘要: In an apparatus and method, image metadata is assigned to a master image file including an image from a base work, the image metadata including an identification of the base work and provenance of the base work. Objects in the image are detected and recognized. Object metadata, including recognition of the object, is assigned to the master image file. A cryptographic hash of, altogether, the image, the image metadata, and the object metadata is generated. An image product from the master image file for transfer is generated. A data packet structure is written to a node of a transaction processing network, wherein the data packet structure includes the cryptographic hash, and transferor and transferee identification for a transfer of the image product.

    摘要: There are disclosed methods and apparatus for enhancing the image exposure of image inventories. A frame conversion and packaging machine assigns metadata to each frame of a digital video work. It takes objects that have been detected, recognized and assigned metadata to the objects by the frame slicing and packaging machine and enhances the image exposure and assigns new items of metadata to the enhanced-exposure modified images. The frame conversion and packaging machine then generates a cryptographic hash of the enhanced-exposure modified image's digital file. The frame conversion and packaging machine writes the hash to a node of a transaction processing network. Further, there are disclosed methods and apparatus for conversion of monochromatic image inventories to colored image inventories. A frame color-conversion and packaging machine assigns metadata to each frame of a digital video work. It takes objects that have been detected, recognized and assigned metadata to the objects by the frame slicing and packaging machine and converts the original monochromatic images to fully colorized images and assigns new items of metadata to the color-converted images. The frame color-conversion and packaging machine then generates a cryptographic hash of the color-converted modified image's digital file. The frame color-conversion and packaging machine writes the hash to a node of a transaction processing network.

    摘要: There are disclosed methods and apparatus to manufacture an inventory of finished physical print products from a base work including one or more images. Print metadata is assigned to each print of an image from the base work, the print metadata including an identification of the base work and a provenance of the base work. For each print, at least one cryptographic hash is generated of the image, the print metadata, and an index value of a security feature embedded into a physical substrate on which the image is printed. The cryptographic hash is then written to a node of a transaction processing network.
