Methods and equipment for guided photography

Abstract

The term "image creation" refers to the method and machine used to guide photographic capture. This includes the capture and processing of images for photographic purposes. Based on an image and / or one or more supplementary images, the capture and processing equipment creates and outputs instructions to optimize image composition, photographic settings, and / or image processing settings. Guidance can be generated based on determining the subject's orientation, relying on sensor readings indicating that the horizon may be misaligned, a different shot of the same scene captured using a wide-angle lens, a different shot of the same subject, a different shot of a different subject, and / or the output of a machine learning model trained using a set of images. The image capture and processing device can automatically apply certain aspects of the generated direction, such as capture settings and / or image processing settings.
