Imaging Apparatus for Live-View Alignment and Consistent Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging technologies require significant time and effort to capture images that maintain consistency with previously captured images, especially when displayed side-by-side with a live view, due to the need for adjusting pose and position.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus that allows users to adjust composition, brightness, and tinge of a live image in relation to previously captured images, using a template to position and align images for consistency, with automatic or user-controlled adjustments to ensure a cohesive image group.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a live view image and a previously captured image are displayed side-by-side to allow pose or facial expression adjustment, then the user can check the recapturing target image, but it takes time and effort to capture an image consistent with the previously captured image
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs preliminary actions by detecting the subject in the live view image and adjusting composition, brightness, and tinge parameters before the user captures the image. This pre-adjustment eliminates the need for manual recapturing and positioning, directly reducing the time and effort required while maintaining consistency with previously captured images.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging apparatus performs self-service by automatically analyzing the live view image, comparing it with previously captured images, and adjusting parameters without user intervention. The system independently identifies composition differences, brightness variations, and tinge discrepancies, then applies corrections automatically, freeing the user from manual adjustment tasks.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple images are captured and displayed in a list, then a sense of consistency can be provided visually, but significant time and effort are required to adjust pose and position to achieve consistency
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical adjustment operations with automated digital processing. Instead of requiring the user to physically adjust pose and position through multiple recapturing attempts, the system uses image processing algorithms to detect and correct composition, brightness, and tinge parameters automatically, significantly reducing operational complexity while maintaining composition stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously comparing the live view image with previously captured images and using this comparison information to automatically adjust parameters. The feedback loop analyzes differences in composition, brightness, and tinge, then applies corrective adjustments to ensure consistency across the image set, eliminating the need for complex manual adjustments.

AI summary
An imaging apparatus (100) includes: a display unit (109) configured to display on a display a live image of a subject and previously captured images; an image capturing unit (105) configured to capture an image of the subject; and a recording unit (108) configured to record in a recording medium the captured image of the subject which has been captured by the image capturing unit (105) and the previously captured images in association with disposition information which includes a display position of the captured image of the subject and display positions of the previously captured images.
