This application discloses a photographing method and an electronic device. The method includes: obtaining N frames of images in response to a first operation, where the first operation is an operation performed on a photographing control, the N frames of images are N frames of images in a preview picture that are collected by using a camera, and N is a positive integer; and determining a target image as an output raw image in a process of sequentially obtaining jitter amounts of all of the N frames of images, where the raw image is an image obtained by an electronic device by using a sensor of the camera, and the target image is an image that meets a jitter amount requirement and that is determined from the N frames of images based on the jitter amounts. Sharpness of a raw image can be ensured, thereby improving photographing experience of users.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a camera module, a sensor module, at least one processor configured to be operatively connected to the camera module and the sensor module, and a memory configured to be operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory may be configured, when executed, to cause the at least one processor to acquire a plurality of first images having a first attribute and at least one second image having a second attribute for a designated time by controlling the camera module according to a photographing mode of the camera module determined based on at least one of illuminance detected through the sensor module and scene information detected through the camera module, extract information on an event section when the event is detected from the plurality of first images, and select and buffer at least one third image from the at least one second image according to the photographing mode, generate at least one piece of first content based on the information on the event section of the plurality of first images, and select at least one fourth image by evaluating at least some of the at least one third image, and generate at least one piece of second content based on the selected at least one fourth image.

A method is disclosed herein, including detecting, by a processor, a signal received from a camera, the signal including an image. The method further includes processing, by the processor, the received signal to identify an image included in the signal and determining, by the processor, that the signal includes a discreet message, the discreet message is embedded within an image. The method further includes decrypting, by the processor, the discreet message embedded within the signal and sending, by the processor, the decrypted message to be displayed.

An imaging device includes: a controller configured to perform control of each of a moving image capturing mode, in which a captured moving image is recorded as a moving image file, and a live distribution mode, in which a captured moving image is live-distributed to an external device; and an operation interface configured to be used for a user to input a stop instruction. In a case where the controller receives the stop instruction from the operation interface in the live distribution mode, the controller performs control of executing stopping confirmation processing for confirming with the user whether to stop moving image capturing before stopping the moving image capturing. In a case where the controller receives the stop instruction from the operation interface in the moving image capturing mode, the controller performs control of stopping the moving image capturing without executing the stopping confirmation processing.

Reducing throughput of paired cameras, including: selecting, by a first camera of an autonomous vehicle, a first area of focus for a first frame generated by the first camera; selecting, by a second camera of the autonomous vehicle, a second area of focus for a second frame generated by the second camera by matching the first area of focus for the first frame; generating, by the first camera from the first frame, a first downsampled frame and a first cropped frame, wherein the first cropped frame is based on the first area of focus; and generating, by the second camera from the second frame, a second downsampled frame and a second cropped frame, wherein the second cropped frame is based on the second area of focus.

An image capturing device includes an imaging device and circuitry. The imaging device captures an image. The circuitry defines a point of interest in the image, converts the defined point of interest in accordance with attitude information of the image capturing device, and cuts out a viewable area from the image. The viewable area includes the converted point of interest.

A communication apparatus includes a reception unit which receives a notification from an image capturing apparatus, and a control unit. If the received notification indicates that a divided moving image file to be generated using a chunk recording method has been generated, the control unit requests the divided moving image file from the image capturing apparatus. If the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been generated, the control unit does not request the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus. If the received notification indicates that a metadata file associated with the divided moving image file has been updated, the control unit requests the metadata file from the image capturing apparatus.

Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

An electronic apparatus comprises a sound reception unit that receives sound data from a sound transmission device by a wireless communication unit, a sound transmission unit that transmits sound data to a sound reception device by a wireless communication unit, and a control unit that switches, in accordance with an operation state of the electronic apparatus, between a first operation of receiving the sound data from the sound transmission device and transmitting the sound data to the sound reception device by the sound transmission unit and a second operation in which the sound reception device receives the sound data from the sound transmission device.
