Handheld Gimbal Selfie Tracking With Real-Time Composition Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handheld gimbals struggle to stabilize image capture when objects are in motion, requiring manual tracking and additional terminals for real-time image observation, making it cumbersome and inconvenient, especially for selfies.
Innovation Solution
A handheld gimbal with a built-in display screen and controller that determines the selfie mode, tracks and adjusts the shooting device based on target object characteristics, and displays the image in real-time, allowing for automatic tracking and composition adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual tracking is used to capture moving objects, then the user can control the shooting direction, but the shooting stability deteriorates when the object is always in motion
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the display screen as both the shooting direction indicator and the composition reference. The shooting direction is superimposed on the display screen image, allowing the system to automatically track and stabilize the target without requiring manual intervention, thus achieving self-service tracking that maintains shooting stability
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time feedback by displaying the shooting direction overlay on the display screen. This visual feedback loop allows the system to continuously adjust and maintain accurate tracking of moving objects, improving shooting stability through automatic closed-loop control
2Length of moving object
If an extension stick is used to take selfies, then the shooting distance is increased, but the user cannot see the shooting image on the display screen
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the display screen function with the shooting direction indication function. By superimposing the shooting direction on the display screen image, the system combines real-time image viewing with composition guidance in a single display interface, eliminating the need for external terminals even at extended shooting distances
3Loss of information
If an additional terminal is used to observe the shooting image in real time, then the user can monitor the shooting, but the operation becomes cumbersome and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines the shooting device and display screen into a single integrated unit. The display screen directly receives and displays images from the shooting device, eliminating the need for external terminals. The shooting direction is superimposed on this integrated display, providing real-time monitoring without increasing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen serves multiple functions: it displays the shooting image in real time, shows the superimposed shooting direction for composition guidance, and eliminates the need for separate terminal devices. This multi-functionality reduces system complexity while maintaining real-time observation capability
4Ease of operation
If manual composition adjustments are made during shooting, then the user can control the framing, but the shooting efficiency decreases when the object is always in motion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic composition by superimposing the shooting direction on the display screen image. This self-service composition capability automatically tracks and frames moving objects without requiring manual adjustments, thereby maintaining shooting efficiency when objects are in constant motion

AI summary
A shooting control method includes determining a handheld gimbal is in a selfie mode, determining a target object, controlling a shooting device of the handheld gimbal to track and shoot the target object according to the target object, determining position information of the target object in a shooting image according to the target object, adjusting a control parameter of the shooting device according to the position information of the target object in the shooting image, to enable the shooting device to shoot the target object in a preset configuration to obtain the shooting image, and displaying the shooting image.
