Panoramic Image Display Using Camera Bearing Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image processing technologies in mobile devices lack comprehensive attribute information, making it difficult for users to accurately understand the specifics of image shooting details, such as orientation and orientation changes, when viewing panoramic images.
Innovation Solution
An image display method that utilizes historical and real-time bearing information of the camera lens to accurately reproduce the original shooting orientation of panoramic images, by displaying corresponding target pictures and adding orientation identifiers, allowing users to view images as they were shot.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only basic attribute information (shooting date, camera parameters, GPS data) is recorded, then the device complexity is low, but the information completeness is insufficient for users to accurately understand shooting details
Solution Approach 1:
The patent records bearing information (orientation data) during the image shooting process in advance. This preliminary action ensures that when users view the panoramic image later, they can accurately understand the shooting orientation and scenario without needing to add complex functionality at viewing time. The bearing data is captured and stored alongside other EXIF information during the original shooting operation.
2Ease of operation
If bearing information is recorded and used to display target pictures, then the user experience and shooting detail accuracy are improved, but the processing complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical or manual methods of determining shooting orientation with electronic bearing information captured by sensors. Instead of requiring users to manually record or reconstruct orientation data, the system automatically captures bearing data using electronic compasses or gyroscopes integrated in the device, significantly reducing processing time while improving accuracy.
3Loss of information
If the system displays the complete panoramic image, then the user can see the full scene, but the user cannot easily understand the specific shooting orientation and scenario
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces bearing information as an intermediary element that connects the panoramic image with the shooting scenario. By displaying the bearing data (orientation, direction) alongside or overlaid on the panoramic image, users can understand the shooting orientation without needing complex annotations or separate metadata views. This intermediary data layer provides contextual information in a simple, intuitive manner.

AI summary
An image display method includes obtaining, by an electronic device, a first instruction triggered by a user, where the first instruction instructs the electronic device to display a panoramic image. The method further includes obtaining, by the electronic device in response to the first instruction, historical bearing information and real-time bearing information of a camera lens of the electronic device, where the historical bearing information indicates a historical bearing of the camera lens that is measured when the panoramic image is shot, and the real-time bearing information indicates a current target bearing of the camera lens. The method further includes displaying, by the electronic device, a target picture corresponding to the target bearing in the panoramic image when the historical bearing information includes the target bearing.
