Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional panoramic photography methods require users to preset the order in which photos are taken, making the process inconvenient and limiting flexibility in capturing images.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a reference image to generate guide images, detect movement, and display a selected guide image, allowing users to take panoramic photographs without needing to set a specific order, using a camera module, movement sensor, and display unit in a mobile communication terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional panoramic photography method is used, then adjacent images can be precisely matched up, but users need to preset the order in which photos are taken
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines the photographing order by detecting movement direction through sensors, eliminating the need for manual presetting. The apparatus serves itself by using its own movement data to control the photographing sequence, making the operation simpler while maintaining precise image matching.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses movement sensors to detect the actual photographing direction and feeds this information back to control the photographing sequence. This feedback mechanism ensures that images are captured in the correct order based on real-time movement detection, maintaining precision without requiring manual intervention.
2Reliability
If preset photographing order is required, then image stitching can be performed smoothly, but the system lacks flexibility in capturing images
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the photographing sequence based on real-time movement detection. Instead of following a fixed preset order, the photographing sequence adapts to the actual movement direction captured by sensors, providing both reliable stitching and flexible adaptation to different shooting scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the photographing sequence parameter based on detected movement direction. By dynamically modifying the order parameter according to actual movement, the system maintains reliable image stitching while adapting to various shooting situations without requiring manual reconfiguration.
3Measurement precision
If manual presetting of photographing order is needed, then control precision is maintained, but the process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the manual mechanical presetting process with automatic sensor-based detection. Movement sensors automatically capture the photographing direction and the system electronically determines the sequence, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining precise control over the photographing order.

AI summary
An apparatus may take a panoramic photograph without the need to set the order in which panoramic images. The method includes taking a reference image that is a portion of the panoramic photograph, generating a plurality of guide images using portions of the reference image, detecting movement of an image-taking device and displaying a guide image selected according to the detected movement of the image-taking device, and taking a connected image to be stitched to the most recently taken reference image using the guide image.
