IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240251157 titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS

The imaging apparatus described in the abstract is designed to assist users in capturing multiple images of a subject for modeling purposes.

Image sensor captures images of the subject to generate image data.
Output interface provides information to the user.
Controller recognizes when image shooting operation is being executed and controls the output interface.
Controller guides the user through the image shooting process by outputting shooting guide information.
Shooting guide information helps the user succeed in capturing multiple images for modeling the subject.

Potential Applications: - Photography and modeling industries - Artistic and creative projects - Educational purposes for teaching photography techniques

Problems Solved: - Assists users in capturing multiple images for modeling purposes - Provides guidance to ensure successful image shooting operations

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in capturing images for modeling - Enhanced user experience through guided shooting process - Increased accuracy in modeling subjects

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Imaging Apparatus for Model Photography" This technology can be used in professional photography studios, modeling agencies, and educational institutions to streamline the process of capturing images for modeling purposes. It can also be integrated into mobile photography apps for amateur photographers looking to improve their skills.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on imaging devices with guided shooting features, image modeling techniques, and user interface design for photography equipment.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in image sensor technology, user interface design, and artificial intelligence integration to further enhance the capabilities of imaging apparatus for modeling purposes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the imaging apparatus recognize when image shooting operations are being executed? 2. What are the potential limitations of using shooting guide information to assist users in capturing images for modeling?

Original Abstract Submitted

an imaging apparatus for causing a user to perform image shooting for modeling of a subject, the imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor configured to capture an image of a subject to generate image data; an output interface configured to output information to the user; and a controller configured to recognize a situation in which image shooting operation is executed by the imaging apparatus, to control the output interface, the image shooting operation including a plurality of times of imaging by the image sensor for modeling the subject, wherein the controller is configured to cause the output interface to output shooting guide information, according to the recognized situation in the image shooting operation, the shooting guide information guiding the user to succeed in shooting of each of a plurality of images for modeling of the subject.
