Camera module and portable electronic device including the same
A camera module includes a lens module including lenses and a reflecting module disposed in front of the lens module. The reflecting module is configured to change a path of light to direct the light toward the lens module. The reflecting module includes a holder in which a reflecting member configured to change the path of the light is mounted and a first housing supporting the holder. The holder is configured to slide with respect to the first housing to enable rotation of the reflecting member with respect to a first axis and a second axis.
METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH IMAGE PROCESSING
A processor-implemented method with image processing includes: providing retouch result candidates of an input image to a user in response to applying vector value candidates to a style vector; determining a vector value of the style vector based on a selection of the user for the retouch result candidates; determining an adjustment parameter set corresponding to the determined vector value of the style vector; and generating a retouch result by adjusting the input image based on the adjustment parameter set.
TEMPORAL FILTERING WEIGHT COMPUTATION
Techniques to temporally filter images via a filtering weight computation are disclosed. A first image having a first timestamp and a second image having a second timestamp are acquired. These images are generated by a camera, and the first timestamp is before the second timestamp. A motion compensation (MC) operation is performed on the first image to produce an MC image. A difference image is generated using the MC image and the second image. The difference image reflects differences in intensities that exist between the two images. A local weight map is generated based on those differences. A global weight map is generated based on certain IMU data. A final weight map is generated based on a combination of the local weight map and the global weight map. The final weight map is used to generate a filtered image.
EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An image evaluation apparatus comprises an image capturing device configured to include a blur correction function, a vibration control unit configured to vibrate the image capturing device based on an input waveform, a vibration detection unit that detects the vibration of the image capturing unit, a memory storing instructions, and a processor executing the instructions causing the image evaluation apparatus to compare the input waveform with the waveform of the vibration detection result that was detected by the vibration detection unit, and perform a captured image evaluation that is an evaluation of the blur correction function based on a captured image result of a subject by the image capturing device, wherein the processor performs captured image evaluation in a case in which it has been determined that the difference of the waveform of the vibration detection result with respect to the input waveform is within a predetermined range.
Electronic apparatus capable of reducing electromagnetic field noise
An electronic apparatus includes a supporting member, a movable member supported by the supporting member movably with respect to the supporting member, a controller configured to control a movement of the movable member, a first flexible printed circuit board configured to electrically connect the movable member and the controller, and a first radio wave absorber having a sheet shape that overlays the first flexible printed circuit board and that is partially fixed to the first flexible printed circuit board.
Autofocus actuator
The present disclosure relates to systems, vehicles, and methods that include adjusting a position of an image sensor with respect to a lens assembly. An example optical system includes a lens assembly having at least one lens. The at least one lens defines an optical axis, a focal distance, and a focal plane. The optical system also includes a lens holder coupled to the lens assembly and a substrate having a first surface. The optical system additionally includes an image sensor attached to the first surface of the substrate. Furthermore, the optical system includes an active compensation system having a piezoelectric structure coupled between the lens holder and the first surface of the substrate. The active compensation system is configured to maintain the image sensor at the focal plane over a predetermined temperature range.
LENS DRIVING DEVICE, CAMERA MODULE, AND CAMERA MOUNT DEVICE
The lens driving device according to the present invention is provided with: an autofocus drive part for moving an autofocus movable part with respect to an autofocus fixed part in an optical axis direction and thereby automatically performing focusing; a shake correction drive part for correcting shake by causing a shake correction movable part to oscillate with respect to a shake correction fixed part in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis direction; and a sub-stopper part for restricting the distance that the autofocus movable part can move toward the image side in the optical axis direction to within an allowable range of displacement of a lens part, the sub-stopper part being interposed between the autofocus movable part and the shake correction fixed part.
IMAGE STABILIZATION METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR
An electronic device includes: a camera; a display; and at least one processor electrically connected to the camera and the display. The at least one processor is configured to: obtain an image data from the camera; output a preview image of the image data on the display, based on a configured magnification; detect at least one object of the preview image in a state in which the configured magnification is greater than a reference magnification; and perform an image stabilization on the preview image, based on the detected at least one object of the preview image.
OPTICAL UNIT WITH SHAKE CORRECTION FUNCTION
In an optical unit with a shake correction function, a first inner-side wall surface disposed on an inner side of a first band-shaped portion of a circuit board in a Y-direction and a second inner-side wall surface disposed on an inner side of a second band-shaped portion of the circuit board in an X-direction are defined in an intermediate-member holder, and a first outer-side wall surface disposed on an outer side of the first band-shaped portion in the Y-direction and a second outer-side wall surface disposed on an outer side of the second band-shaped portion in the X-direction are defined on an outer-peripheral side covering portion. An interval between the first inner-side wall surface and the first outer-side wall surface is smaller than an interval between the second inner-side wall surface and the second outer-side wall surface.
UAV panoramic imaging
The present invention provides methods, systems, and apparatus for generating panoramic aerial images. An image capturing device is coupled to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) via a carrier configured to allow the image capturing device to rotate around one, two, or three axes relative to the UAV. To generate a panoramic image, the UAV is brought to hover or remain substantially stationary near a predetermined location. While the UAV is hovering over the predetermined position, the carrier causes the image capturing device to rotate around a first axis while stabilizing the image capturing device with respect to at least a second axis. As the image capturing device rotates, it captures a plurality of overlapping images. The plurality of images can be processed entirely onboard the UAV to generate a panoramic image without transmitting the plurality of images to a remote device.
