FlashFoto, Inc. releases Smart Design 1.1

Now able to intelligently auto-flow multiple images across multiple frames for photo books and greeting cards.

Oakland, CA, April 5th 2010 — FlashFoto, Inc today announced the immediate availability of the Smart Design 1.1 library. Smart Design is the ultimate library for placing images of people into complex shapes or for determining the cropping location for images that have to be printed at new or multiple aspect ratios. The new version also introduces a new feature, complimentary value scoring. With this new scoring system, Smart Design can process numerous images and various aperture shapes and sizes in a photo book or greeting card and determine which image will best fit which aperture shape. This allows the library to automatically sort through multiple images and find the best fit with a greeting card or can be used to automatically flow images into a photo book. Version 1.1 also introduces a new person detection system that is even more accurate while rarely reporting “false positives”. Smart Design is now multi-threaded to take full advantage of modern dual core processor architecture as well as multiple processors in a computer or server, delivering very fast results.

Smart Design is a library built to detect people in an image and determine either the best location to crop an image for any aspect ratio or to determine the best fit for an image into a greeting card or photo book aperture. The library can be implemented into a computer application like a kiosk or can be used as a web service. Smart Design is perfect for automating the placement of images for photo gifts, making these applications and web sites, delivering an easy and simple experience when building products.
