3D Virtual Image Guided Capture for Complex Postures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image capturing technologies face challenges in achieving complex photographing effects, such as those involving position and posture differences between objects, as they require precise adjustments and pre-determination of final effects, which can be difficult to execute and plan effectively.
Innovation Solution
An image capturing apparatus and method that utilize a controller to obtain background images with depth information, position three-dimensional (3D) virtual images, and guide the capture of target objects based on differences between the 3D virtual images and actual objects, including posture and position adjustments, to achieve desired photographing effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual positioning and adjustment methods are used to achieve complex photographing effects, then photographing precision can be improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a 3D virtual image as a copy or template of the target object's desired posture and position. The controller compares the actual captured image with this pre-configured 3D virtual image to automatically determine positioning accuracy, eliminating the need for manual measurement and adjustment while maintaining high precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical positioning and adjustment operations with an automated image processing and comparison system. The controller automatically analyzes the captured image, compares it with the 3D virtual template, and provides guidance without requiring physical manual intervention for positioning.
2Productivity
If pre-determination of final photographing effects is attempted, then photographing planning can be improved, but determination difficulty and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary configuration of the 3D virtual image template before the actual photographing process. This pre-configured template contains all the desired posture and position information, allowing the system to automatically compare and guide during capture without requiring complex real-time planning or determination during the actual photographing.
3Measurement precision
If another person is required to ensure accurate object posture, then photographing precision can be improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the photographing system to perform self-check and self-guidance by automatically comparing the captured image with the pre-configured 3D virtual template. The controller analyzes the image data and provides feedback for posture adjustment without requiring another person to manually ensure accurate positioning.

AI summary
An image capturing apparatus and an image capturing method are provided. The image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image; and a controller connected to the image capturing unit, wherein the controller is configured to obtain a background image with depth information, position a three-dimensional (3D) virtual image representing a target object in the background image based on the depth information, and control the image capturing unit to capture the target object based on a difference between the target object viewed from the image capturing apparatus and the 3D virtual image in the background image.
