Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shooting methods using fixed or rotatable cameras struggle with maintaining the shooting target as the center, adjusting background proportion, and capturing images with appropriate angles, often requiring manual intervention and leading to suboptimal image quality and increased workload.
Innovation Solution
A multi-camera linkage system comprising a fixed wide-angle camera and a rotatable camera that uses image processing technology to automatically track and adjust the composition, ensuring the shooting target is centered and captured with optimal angles and proportions, reducing manual effort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a fixed camera position is used, then the camera structure is simple, but the shooting target cannot be centered and the background proportion cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the shooting function into two segments: a fixed wide-angle camera for scene overview and a rotatable camera for targeted close-up shooting. This segmentation allows each camera to have specialized functions, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and composition flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The control module acts as an intermediary that receives images from the fixed camera, analyzes target positions, and automatically controls the rotatable camera to track and frame targets. This intermediary system enables automatic composition adjustment without manual intervention.
2Ease of operation
If manual rotation of the camera is used, then the shooting orientation can be adjusted, but the anti-shake performance during rotation is poor and image quality is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical rotation with an automated control system that uses image processing and algorithmic control. The control module calculates optimal rotation angles and smoothly drives the rotatable camera, eliminating human-induced shake and improving image stability during orientation changes.
3Ease of operation
If manual judgment of shooting tasks is required, then the photographer can select shooting targets, but the shooting workload is increased and sudden targets cannot be captured in time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting targets through image processing, judging their significance, and initiating tracking without human intervention. The control module continuously analyzes images from the fixed camera and autonomously decides when and what to capture, dramatically improving shooting efficiency for both planned and sudden events.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where images from the fixed camera are continuously analyzed, target positions are tracked, and the rotatable camera adjusts its orientation based on this feedback. This real-time feedback mechanism enables rapid response to sudden targets while maintaining automated target selection.

AI summary
The present invention belongs to the field of shooting, and provides a shooting method and camera based on multi-camera linkage. The first camera is a fixed wide-angle camera, and tracks and acquires the position of the shooting target in real time. The image processing technology is used to analyze the composition quality and determines an optimal second camera shooting position coordinate. The control module sends a rotation instruction to enable the second camera to track the shooting target in real time, so as to ensure that the shooting target keeps the center position in the close-up image. When it is analyzed that the shooting target occupies the proper proportion and angle in the picture, the second camera is started to track and shoot, and during shooting, the second camera is zoomed and rotated according to the position of the shooting target, so that better image shooting is achieved.
