Image capturing device and image processing method

Abstract

The invention relates to an image capturing device and an image processing method. The image capturing device comprises an image capturing module, a calculation module and an image processing module, wherein the image capturing module simultaneously captures a plurality of images corresponding to different focusing lengths respectively, divides each image into a plurality of grid areas respectively, and calculates sharpness values of each grid area; the calculation module selects a first image and a second image from the plurality of images, and calculates differences between the sharpness values of each grid area in the first and second images; and when the calculation module obtains a difference greater than a preset value, the image processing module executes an image fuzzifying processing program on corresponding grid areas of the first image, the second image or the image obtained by synthesizing the first and second images. Compared with the prior art, the invention can easily take photos with clear bodies and fuzzy backgrounds, namely the effect of shallow depth of field.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an image capture device and an image processing method, in particular to an image capture device capable of automatically taking photos with a "shallow depth of field" effect and an image processing method applied to the image capture device.

Background technique

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of imaging technology and the continuous innovation of photographic equipment, digital cameras of various types and specifications have been widely used by ordinary consumers in daily life and work needs, and have become a very popular item in the consumer market. electronic product.

[0003] When taking photos, in order to be able to clearly grasp the subject, the photographer often hopes to take a photo with "clear subject and blurred background", which is the so-called "shallow depth of field" effect. Generally speaking, in terms of camera operation, if you want to achieve the effect of "shallow ...
