ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462527 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The electronic apparatus described in the patent application acquires and processes images captured by two different optical systems to generate a new image with magnified regions.

  • Processor and memory are used to execute a program that acquires a first image and a corresponding second image.
  • The first image is captured via a first optical system, while the second image is captured via a second optical system.
  • The program generates a third image by using the first and second images.
  • A fourth image is created with parallax compared to the third image, and a magnified partial region from the third image.

Potential Applications

  • Medical imaging for detailed analysis of specific regions.
  • Enhanced photography for creating unique visual effects.
  • 3D modeling and virtual reality applications for immersive experiences.

Problems Solved

  • Limited magnification capabilities of traditional optical systems.
  • Difficulty in capturing and processing images with parallax effects.
  • Inability to generate detailed images with magnified regions.

Benefits

  • Improved image processing capabilities.
  • Enhanced visualization of specific areas in images.
  • Creation of unique and engaging visual content.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus includes a processor, and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic apparatus to acquire a first image which is captured via a first optical system, and a second image which is captured via a second optical system, and which corresponds to the first image, and generate, by using the first image and the second image, a third image, and a fourth image which has parallax with respect to the third image and of which partial region included in the third image is magnified.
