Burst Shot Buffering for Automatic Moving Object Removal in Camera Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image editing methods for portable cameras are inconvenient as they require manual editing of undesirable subjects or objects in photographed images, lacking automation for error correction.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for automatically identifying and removing moving objects or replacing erroneous image areas in burst shot images, using a camera device or portable terminal with a control unit to buffer images, detect movement, and replace unwanted objects with buffered images based on user selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual editing methods are used to remove undesirable subjects or objects from photographed images, then the image can be modified, but the editing process becomes complicated and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing multiple burst shot images before the final photographing moment. These preliminary images are stored and prepared in advance, enabling automatic selection and replacement of undesirable objects without requiring manual editing operations during or after the main shooting moment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting undesirable objects in the photographed image and replacing them with corresponding objects from burst shot images without user intervention. The control unit autonomously identifies objects to be removed, selects replacement images, and completes the editing process automatically.
2Extent of automation
If automatic object removal is implemented using burst shot images, then image editing convenience is improved, but the device requires additional image buffering and processing capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple burst shot images are captured and buffered in advance before the final image is processed. This preliminary capture of multiple images provides the necessary material for automatic object replacement, reducing the need for complex real-time processing during the main shooting moment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses copying by selecting and copying objects from burst shot images to replace undesirable objects in the final photographed image. Instead of complex manual editing or sophisticated image generation, the system simply copies suitable objects from previously captured images and places them in the target position.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple burst shot images are buffered for automatic editing, then the quality of image replacement is improved, but the storage and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by capturing a limited number of burst shot images (not an excessive amount) that are sufficient for the automatic replacement task. This partial capture provides enough variation to find suitable replacement objects while avoiding the storage burden of buffering too many images.

AI summary
A method for photographing an image and a portable terminal having a camera for photographing an image are provided. The method includes buffering a burst shot image and displaying a frame image, erasing an object having a movement in the displayed image, and generating and displaying a still image by replacing the displayed image including the object having the movement, at location where the object is erased, with a buffered image.
