ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR GENERATING IMAGE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17985610 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR GENERATING IMAGE AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a display and a camera module with two rows of image sensors. The device's processor is designed to capture image data from each row separately and generate a final image using both sets of data.
- The electronic device has a display and a camera module with two rows of image sensors.
- The first row captures image data based on a specific exposure condition set for a first color.
- The second row captures image data based on a different exposure condition set for a second color.
- The processor combines the image data from both rows to generate a final image.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved image quality: By capturing image data from two different exposure conditions, the device can produce images with better dynamic range and color accuracy.
- Low-light photography: The ability to set different exposure conditions for each row of sensors can enhance low-light performance, allowing for clearer and brighter images in challenging lighting conditions.
- HDR imaging: The device can leverage the different exposure conditions to create high dynamic range (HDR) images, which preserve details in both bright and dark areas of a scene.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited dynamic range: Traditional cameras may struggle to capture details in both bright and dark areas of a scene simultaneously. This technology addresses this issue by using different exposure conditions for each row of sensors, resulting in improved dynamic range.
- Low-light limitations: In low-light situations, cameras often produce noisy and dark images. The ability to set different exposure conditions for each row of sensors helps mitigate these limitations, resulting in clearer and brighter low-light images.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced image quality: By combining image data from two different exposure conditions, the device can produce images with improved dynamic range, color accuracy, and overall image quality.
- Better low-light performance: The technology allows for capturing clearer and brighter images in low-light conditions, enhancing the device's photography capabilities.
- HDR imaging capabilities: The device can generate high dynamic range (HDR) images, which preserve details in both bright and dark areas of a scene, providing visually appealing and balanced photographs.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a display, a first camera module disposed under the display and including a first image sensor, the first image sensor comprising a first row and a second row adjacent to the first row and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain first image data using the first row according to a first exposure condition set based on a pixel input value of a first color disposed in the first row, to obtain second image data using the second row according to a second exposure condition set based on an pixel input value of a second color disposed in the second row and to generate a first image based on the first image data and the second image data.
