Methods and devices related to actuating an image sensor are described. In an example, a method can include generating a first image of an area at a first time using an array of image sensors, wherein each image sensor of the array of image sensors is coupled to a respective actuator, generating a second image of the area at a second time using the array of image sensors, comparing the first image to the second image using a processing resource coupled to the array of image sensors, identifying a moving object based at least in part on comparing the first image to the second image, and activating the actuator for each image sensor of the array of image sensor used to generate the first and second images based at least in part on identifying the moving object.

A vehicle and a control method thereof may increase a shooting angle of a camera mounted on the vehicle to photograph without limitation of the shooting angle. The method of controlling a vehicle including at least one camera, the control method including: adjusting a direction of a vehicle body to adjust a shooting direction of the at least one camera to a target direction thereof; and controlling the at least one camera to photograph in the adjusted shooting direction.

A vehicle and a control method thereof may increase a shooting angle of a camera mounted on the vehicle to photograph without limitation of the shooting angle. The method of controlling a vehicle including at least one camera, the control method including: adjusting a direction of a vehicle body to adjust a shooting direction of the at least one camera to a target direction thereof; and controlling the at least one camera to photograph in the adjusted shooting direction.

Examples of the disclosure relate to at least apparatus, methods, and computer programs, configured to control capture of two images of an area, across which a pulse propagates, using different shutter scanning directions. Either the images are converted into pulse-phase maps of the area and a pulse-phase difference map obtained which identifies differences between the pulse-phase maps of the area, or a colour difference map is obtained which identifies differences between the two images and the colour difference map is converted into a pulse-phase difference map. A shutter-time difference map is obtained which identifies differences between capture times of corresponding locations in the two images. Using the shutter-time difference map, the pulse-phase difference map is corrected to obtain a map of pulse-phase changes which have occurred over a duration of a shutter scan.

An optical element driving mechanism is provided, including a fixed part, a movable part, and a driving assembly. The movable part includes a holder, and a supporting element. The holder holds an optical element. The supporting element is connected to the holder. The driving assembly drives the movable part to move relative to the fixed part. The holder uses the supporting element as a fulcrum and moves relative to the fixed part around the first axis and the second axis. The first axis is not parallel to the second axis.
