Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera technologies face challenges in capturing high-quality immersive images due to issues such as distortion, object interference, and user visibility, which are not addressed by traditional two-dimensional imaging techniques.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that includes a three-dimensional camera device with automatic and feedback-based assistance to detect quality-reducing issues and provide guidance or control settings to improve immersive image quality, such as adjusting camera settings or informing the user on how to capture better images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional two-dimensional imaging techniques are used, then the device complexity is low, but the image quality for immersive applications deteriorates due to distortion and inability to capture three-dimensional spatial relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The immersive camera system divides the imaging task into multiple components: multiple image sensors capture different perspectives, lens assemblies capture different fields of view, and processing circuits separately handle distortion correction, stitching, and three-dimensional reconstruction. This segmentation allows high-quality immersive imaging without requiring a single overly complex device
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from traditional two-dimensional imaging to three-dimensional immersive imaging by adding spatial dimensions through multiple sensors positioned at different locations and orientations. This captures depth, perspective, and spatial relationships that cannot be achieved with conventional 2D cameras, thereby improving image quality for immersive applications
2Manufacturing precision
If camera settings are manually adjusted by users, then the ease of operation is high, but the image quality deteriorates because users are unaware of immersive-specific issues
Solution Approach 1:
The processing circuits analyze captured images in real-time to detect quality-reducing issues such as distortion, stitching errors, or improper framing. The system then provides feedback to automatically adjust camera settings or guide users on how to improve their shots, ensuring high image quality without requiring users to have specialized knowledge of immersive photography
Solution Approach 2:
The camera system performs self-correction by automatically detecting and compensating for common imaging issues. The processing circuits autonomously correct distortion, adjust focus, and optimize settings based on the captured scene, allowing the device to maintain high image quality without constant user intervention
3Manufacturing precision
If automatic control of camera settings is implemented, then the image quality is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to reduced user control
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system dynamically adjusts its level of automation based on user needs and shooting conditions. Users can switch between fully manual control, semi-automatic modes with selective auto-adjustment, and fully automatic modes. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to improve image quality through automatic control when needed while preserving user control when desired

AI summary
A device, a system, a camera device, and corresponding methods are provided which allow to capture immersive images with improved quality by providing an assistance to a user. The assistance may be an automatic control and/or feedback-based. A device capable to provide a feedback-based assistance may include one or more processors configured to: receive an image; detect one or more objects within the image; determine, based on the detected one or more objects, whether a quality of the immersive image can be improved using at least one measure; and in the case that it is determined that the quality of the immersive image can be improved using at least one measure, provide control instructions to control one or more output devices to output information informing a user that the at least one measure can improve the quality when capturing an immersive image.
