Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a device 100 for image acquisition, such as a camera or other device having photographic features. Apparatus 100 comprises optics 102 for projecting an image of scene 101 on image sensor 104 . The image sensor is configured to convert the projected image into an image signal. Image sensor 104 may typically be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensor. The apparatus 100 also preferably includes means for digitizing the image signal, which may be included in the image sensor 104, in the image analyzer 106, or in a separate circuit. The image signal is provided to an image analyzer 106 configured to find at least one object of the image, ie at least one object among a plurality of objects present in the imaged scene 101 . This is preferably performed by image processing (ie, pattern recognition) for identifying objects (eg, faces, eyes, symbols, etc.). The i...

Abstract

An image capturing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises optics for forming an image on an image plane; an image sensor arranged at the image plane and arranged to transform the image to an image signal to form an initial image; an image analyzer arranged to receive the image signal, to find at least one object in the initial image, and to determine at least one zoom area for each found object; an image cut generator arranged to define a result image to comprise at least one of the at least one determined zoom areas; and a storage memory arranged to store the defined result image. A method and a set of computer program for the apparatus are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image acquisition method, an image acquisition device and a computer program for image acquisition. In particular, the invention relates to the determination of a suitable zoom region for an image. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional "chemical" photography, digital photography provides photographers with many new features. One of the features offered by digital photography is the ability to inspect the results immediately after the image is acquired. Another feature is the ability to delete captured images that do not meet the photographer's requirements, thereby providing space for further storage of images in the memory where the images are stored. This capability, along with the ability to store large numbers of images in memory, has transformed image acquisition, making it possible to acquire large numbers of images and save those that satisfy the photographer while discarding the others. ...
