MODIFICATION OF CAPTURED IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18494836 titled 'MODIFICATION OF CAPTURED IMAGES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for modifying captured images using an under-display camera by disabling some display pixels overlying the camera sensor and enabling them based on predetermined conditions.

Explanation of the patent:

 * Capturing images using an under-display camera
 * Disabling display pixels overlying the camera sensor
 * Enabling disabled display pixels based on predetermined conditions
 * Modifying captured images based on enabled display pixels

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other devices with under-display cameras to improve image quality and enhance user experience.

Problems Solved

1. Overcoming the challenge of capturing clear images with under-display cameras due to interference from display pixels. 2. Enhancing image quality by enabling specific display pixels to modify captured images based on predetermined conditions.

Benefits

1. Improved image quality in devices with under-display cameras. 2. Enhanced user experience with better image modification capabilities. 3. Increased versatility in capturing images under various conditions.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing image quality in smartphones with under-display cameras for better photography and video recording capabilities.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to image processing techniques in smartphones and cameras, but specific information on modifying captured images using disabled display pixels in under-display cameras may not be readily available.

What are some potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world applications?

Lack of standardization

One challenge could be the lack of standardization in under-display camera technology across different device manufacturers, leading to compatibility issues.

Privacy concerns

Another challenge could be addressing privacy concerns related to enabling disabled display pixels for modifying captured images, as it may raise questions about data security and user consent.

Original Abstract Submitted

Example embodiments relate to an apparatus, method and computer program associated with modification of captured images. The method may comprise capturing images using an under-display camera of an apparatus in which at least some display pixels which overlie a camera sensor are disabled. The method may also detecting at least one predetermined condition and enabling at least some of the disabled display pixels to modify at least part of an image or images being captured, responsive to detecting the at least one predetermined condition.
