An electric quantity indicating method and an electronic device are provided. The method is performed by an electronic device. The electronic device includes a device body and a detachable camera module. The method includes: receiving first information sent by the detachable camera module, where the first information includes electric quantity information of the power supply of the detachable camera module; and according to the first information, displaying a target identifier on the device body; where the target identifier is an electric quantity identifier of the power supply of the detachable camera module in the electronic device.

Under-display camera and sensor control

An under-display camera is positioned underneath a display of a mobile device. The under-display camera captures an image using light passing through a portion of the display. The mobile device displays a display image on the display, the display image based on the image. The mobile device displays an indicator overlaid over the display image on an indicator area of the display that overlaps with the portion of the display. The indicator may identify the position of the camera. The mobile device can compensate for occlusion of the camera by continuing to display a previous display image if a more recently captured image includes an occlusion. The mobile device can give users alternate ways to select areas of the display image to avoid camera occlusion, for instance using hardware buttons and/or touchscreen interface elements.

ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

An electronic apparatus includes: an image sensor for acquiring an image including normal pixel values that are sensed during a first exposure time and short exposure pixel values that are sensed during a second exposure time that is shorter than the first exposure time; and a processor configured to acquire flag information that indicates that a selected region, among a plurality of regions of the image, is one of a motion region and a normal region by using an exposure ratio of the first exposure time and the second exposure time and by using a short exposure pixel value and normal pixel values, which are included in the selected region, and configured to output a restoration image including a restoration pixel value that is corrected from the short exposure pixel value that is included in the selected region, based on the flag information.

Camera with reconfigurable lens assembly
11700443 · 2023-07-11 · ·

Systems and processes for cameras with a reconfigurable lens assembly are described. For example, some methods include automatically detecting that an accessory lens structure has been mounted to an image capture device including a mother lens and an image sensor configured to detect light incident through the mother lens, such that an accessory lens of the accessory lens structure is positioned covering the mother lens; responsive to detecting that the accessory lens structure has been mounted, automatically identifying the accessory lens from among a set of multiple supported accessory lenses; accessing an image captured using the image sensor when the accessory lens structure is positioned covering the mother lens; determining a warp mapping based on identification of the accessory lens; applying the warp mapping to the image to obtain a warped image; and transmitting, storing, or displaying an output image based on the warped image.

Predictive field-of-view (FOV) and cueing to enforce data capture and transmission compliance in real and near real time video

To prevent the capture and transmission of excluded data, the current pose and motion of a video camera are used to predict a pose and predicted FOV for the video camera over one or more future frames. The predicted pose and predicted FOV are used to generate cues to enforce an alignment condition to an allowed object or to prevent capture of a disallowed object. If the cues fail, an interrupt is generated to prevent capture of disallowed objects in the video signal and perhaps to deactivate the video camera. The predicted FOV prevents excluded data from entering the video signal and reaching circuitry or being processed downstream of the video camera. This can be implemented in real or near real time.

System and method for presenting and viewing a spherical video segment

Systems and methods for tagging portions a spherical video segment are provided. The spherical video segment may include visual content. User input indicating a moment in time in the spherical video segment and a viewing angle corresponding to the moment in time may be received. Tag information for the spherical video segment may be generated. The tag information may identify the moment in time and the viewing angle such that a subsequent presentation of the spherical video segment, proximate to the moment in time, includes a notification that the viewing angle is outside a display field of view based on the viewing angle being located outside the display field of view.

20220409016 · 2022-12-29 · ·

An endoscope system includes an endoscope, a control apparatus to which the endoscope is connected, at least one accessory device used in combination with the endoscope and the control apparatus, and data tags respectively provided in the endoscope and the accessory device. The control apparatus reads first data of the respective data tags, compares second data respectively registered about the endoscope and the accessory device and the first data, and performs warning when the first data and the second data do not coincide.

Image-capturing apparatus and control method thereof
11539874 · 2022-12-27 · ·

The image-capturing apparatus (100) includes an image sensor (14), a focus detector (42) performing focus detection using output from the image sensor; and a controller (50) configured to cause the focus detector to perform the focus detection and configured to control emission of a light emitter for illuminating an object and movement of a focus element for focusing. The controller selectively performs: a first focus detection process that causes the focus detector to perform the focus detection with the focus element being stopped while causing the light emitter to intermittently emit light; and a second focus detection process that causes the focus detector to perform the focus detection with the focus element being moved while causing the light emitter to intermittently emit the light.
