Eye Movement-Based Image Stabilization for Selfie Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a user is in a moving state, such as walking or on a vehicle, the user equipment like a mobile phone or smartwatch may move relative to the user's head, causing shaky or fuzzy images during selfie-taking due to bumping, leading to a poor shooting experience.
Innovation Solution
A shooting control method and apparatus that acquires eye movement information to adjust shooting parameters, specifically using non-saccade eye movements to compensate for relative movement between the user's head and the image capturing device, thereby stabilizing the image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user equipment is held during movement, then the device can be operated for selfie, but the relative movement between the device and user's head causes image shake and blur
Solution Approach 1:
The system acquires eye movement information from the user and uses it as feedback to adjust shooting parameters in real-time. The eye movement information acquisition module detects the user's gaze movements, and the shooting parameter adjustment module uses this feedback to compensate for device movement, thereby maintaining image quality during selfie operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical stabilization methods with an optical-information-based approach. Instead of using physical stabilizers or mechanical mounting systems, the invention uses eye movement detection and computational adjustment of shooting parameters to achieve image stabilization, substituting mechanical solutions with information processing.
2Device complexity
If traditional shooting parameter adjustment is used without eye movement compensation, then the shooting process is simple, but the image quality deteriorates due to relative movement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces eye movement information as an intermediary element between the user and the shooting system. This intermediary provides additional data about the user's visual state, which is then used to adjust shooting parameters. The intermediary enables more precise control without requiring complex mechanical modifications to the device itself.
3Manufacturing precision
If eye movement information is acquired and used to adjust shooting parameters, then image quality during movement is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the user's own eye movements as the source of compensation data. Instead of requiring external sensors or complex stabilization mechanisms, the system leverages the user's natural physiological response (eye movement when tracking the device) to generate the information needed for adjustment. This self-service approach reduces the need for additional complex subsystems.
Data Source
AI summary
A shooting control method, a shooting control apparatus and a user equipment are provided. A method comprises acquiring eye movement information related to that at least one eye of a user gazes an image capturing equipment, and adjusting shooting of shooting parameters of the image capturing equipment at least according to a non-saccade eye movement part in the eye movement information. Shooting parameters of an image capturing equipment can be adjusted according to a non-saccade eye movement part of the image capturing equipment gazed by a user, to perform shooting shake compensating on relative movement between the head of the user and the image capturing equipment corresponding to the non-saccade eye movement part.
