Dual Camera Array Synthesizes Group Photos Without Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in photographing multiple individuals simultaneously due to the need for multiple adjustments of the device's angle or the subjects' positions, making the photography process cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device employs a dual camera array system, collecting multiple images from each array and synthesizing them to display preview images, allowing for the selection of a final image without requiring extensive adjustments.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple adjustments of device angle or subject positions are made to photograph all individuals, then complete group coverage is achieved, but the photographing process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The photographing process is segmented into multiple shooting rounds, where each round captures a subset of subjects. The system divides the group into multiple groups and photographs them separately, then synthesizes the results into a complete group photo, avoiding the need for continuous manual adjustment of device or subject positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically arranging subjects into groups and determining shooting sequences before actual photographing. The device pre-calculates the optimal photographing plan based on subject positions, so that the photographing process itself requires minimal manual intervention.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple cameras are used to capture all subjects simultaneously, then complete coverage is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using multiple cameras simultaneously, the system segments the photographing task into multiple sequential shots using a single camera. Each camera in the array captures a specific subset of subjects, and the system synthesizes these segmented images into a complete group photo.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates multiple copies of the photographing process by repeating the shooting sequence multiple times with different subject groupings. Each copying of the photographing process captures a different subset of subjects, and these copies are synthesized into the final complete image.

AI summary
An image photographing method and an electronic device, and the method includes: collecting M first images by using a camera in a first camera array, and collecting N second images by using a camera in a second camera array, where M is an integer greater than 1, and N is a positive integer; displaying P preview images, where each preview image is obtained by synthesizing an image in the M first images and an image in the N second images, synthesized images corresponding to different preview images are different, the synthesized image includes at least one of the following: the first image and the second image, and P is an integer greater than 1; and obtaining a corresponding final image based on a target image in the P preview images.
