Camera device and camera method

Abstract

The invention discloses an imaging device and an imaging method, wherein, the imaging device deflects a light image of an external imaging area to a lens module through a light reflection element, so that the light image is imaged on an image capturing device. Take the unit on. The imaging device includes a rotating unit to drive the light reflecting element to perform a limited pivotal movement, so that the light of at least two different imaging areas of the outside world can be captured without moving the image capturing unit and the lens module. images and merge them into a single merged image. When the user wants to take a panoramic or wide-view photo, it is not necessary to move or rotate the entire camera device, but simply press the shutter button at a fixed position and in a fixed direction, and the camera device provided by the present invention can automatically The light images of multiple different camera areas in the outside world are captured and combined into a single merged image to achieve the purpose of taking wide-view or panoramic photos.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a camera device, especially one that uses a rotating unit to drive a light reflection element to perform a limited pivoting movement, so that it can capture at least one image from the outside world without moving the image capture unit and lens module. An imaging device and an imaging method for combining two different light images into a single merged image. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, if you want to use an optical camera device, such as but not limited to: digital camera, video camera, smart phone with camera function, etc., when taking panoramic or wide-view photos, you need the user to hold the entire optical camera device , take the own position as the center of the circle, while rotating the body, take several photos with the optical camera device held in the hand and press the camera button several times, and then merge these photos into a single merged photo. Obviously, rotating the optical...

Problems solved by technology

Although this technology can obtain high-quality and stable merged photos, the disadvantage is that you need to purchase and carry a cumbersome automatic rotating base

In addition, the above-mentioned existing technologies all need to rely on the rotation of the entire optical camera device. In other words, the lens (LENS) and the image capture module (IMAGE SENSOR) inside the optical camera device must be rotated at an angle synchronously in order to capture enough images. Several photos of different camera areas are merged into a single merged photo, so the operation is still not convenient enough, so there is room for further improvement
