Disclosed are techniques that provide a “best” picture taken within a few seconds of the moment when a capture command is received (e.g., when the “shutter” button is pressed). In some situations, several still images are automatically (that is, without the user's input) captured. These images are compared to find a “best” image that is presented to the photographer for consideration. Video is also captured automatically and analyzed to see if there is an action scene or other motion content around the time of the capture command. If the analysis reveals anything interesting, then the video clip is presented to the photographer. The video clip may be cropped to match the still-capture scene and to remove transitory parts. Higher-precision horizon detection may be provided based on motion analysis and on pixel-data analysis.

Provided are a photographing method and device, a mobile terminal and a storage medium. The method includes: responsive to detecting a photographing instruction, continuously acquiring a target number of frames of images meeting a preset photographing parameter, the target number being N and determined by a mobile terminal based on a present photographing scenario and N being a positive integer; and determining a target image according to image quality of the N frames of images and outputting the target image. Through the method, the mobile terminal is more intelligent.

An information processing system that acquires a first captured image; acquires a plurality of second images; and generates display data including the first captured image and at least a subset of the plurality of second images based on an evaluation parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of second images.

In an image processing apparatus that performs interval moving image capturing, interval image capturing and lighten compositing are sequentially performed, whereby an effective interval moving image can be obtained without advance techniques and cumbersome procedure that have been required for providing special effects to moving images.

An information processing apparatus 14 includes a reception unit 22 that receives information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device, an extraction unit 28 that extract a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified by the information received by the reception unit 22 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance, a generation unit 30 that generates the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of image data extracted by the extraction unit 28, and a transmission unit 32 that transmits the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit 30 to the imaging device.

An image that is based on an image with a first resolution is displayed on a selection screen, a display unit is caused to display a confirmation screen for confirming a processing target image selected on the selection screen, control is performed to generate an image with a second resolution higher than the first resolution and to display the generated image on the confirmation screen, and control is performed to extract an image having a first format and corresponding to the processing target image from a first image file, and to record the extracted image and the image with the second resolution, as a second image file.

There is provided an imaging device including: a signal processing unit configured to cause a series of picture data being continuously acquired to be temporarily stored in a buffer memory area in a signal processing process, read out the series of picture data from the buffer memory area, and perform a subsequent signal processing; and a control unit configured to perform control for deleting at least a part of the picture data stored in the buffer memory area, on a basis of detecting a predetermined operation while the signal processing is being performed on the series of picture data by the signal processing unit.

An information processing system that acquires a first captured image; acquires a plurality of second images; and generates display data including the first captured image and at least a subset of the plurality of second images based on an evaluation parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of second images.

The disclosure relates to a welding system supporting a high-quality image and relates to a welding system configured to provide an image guiding a welding state of a user. The welding system includes a display unit including a front surface portion corresponding to a welding direction and a rear surface portion corresponding to a face portion direction; at least one eyepiece display installed in an area of the rear surface portion of the display unit; at least one camera unit installed in an area of the front surface portion of the display unit and configured to obtain a plurality of welding image frames according to a photographing condition of each frame; and a processor configured to control the photographing condition of the at least one camera unit, obtain a first synthesized image by synthesizing the plurality of welding image frames in parallel based on the plurality of welding image frames, and control the eyepiece display to display the first synthesized image.
