Abstract

A method of determining shift between two images is disclosed. A first array of pixel data of a first image is mapped to a first feature array(s) having a dimension lesser than the first array, and a second array of pixel data of a second image is mapped to a second feature array(s) having a dimension lesser than the second array. The second feature array is aligned with the first feature array by determining similarity between the first feature array and a number of the shifted second feature arrays. The position shift of the shifted second feature array with most similarity is thus determined as the shift between the two images.

Abstract

A method of dynamically changing a parameter of a frame is disclosed. An input frame is determined as a special scene or a general scene. A subsequent frame is predicted by changing the parameter of the subsequent frame according to a special-scene operation when the input frame is the special scene, and by changing the parameter of the subsequent frame according to a general-scene operation when the input frame is not the special scene. The predicted frame is determined whether to be a special scene. Accordingly, the parameter of the input frame is changed according to the special-scene operation when both the input frame and the predicted frame are the special scenes; the parameter of the input frame is changed according to the general-scene operation when both the input frame and the predicted frame are not the special scenes; and the parameter of the input frame is maintained without change when only one of the input frame and the predicted frame is the special scene.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a flashing control method for a digital camera. Indices respectively corresponding to sensitivity values are firstly determined. Subsequently, main-flash intensities are respectively obtained with respect to the sensitivity values such that their target brightness values are substantially the same after exposure, thereby constructing an energy table. Further, a predetermined preflash is fired to obtain a corresponding preflash brightness value with respect to each distinct distance. Main-flash indices are then respectively obtained according to maximum main-flash intensity and the energy table with respect to the distinct distances such that the target brightness values are substantially the same after exposure, thereby constructing a preflash table. During picture capturing, the main-flash intensity is obtained according to the preflash brightness value and the preflash table.

Abstract

A method of calibrating an autofocus (AF) lighting device of a camera is disclosed. A reference image is captured with light projected from the AF lighting device, and a relative position of a central coordinate of the projected light with respect to a central coordinate of the reference image is stored. When operating the camera, the AF lighting device is activated to emit light after a shutter button of the camera is pressed halfway down, and a preview picture is displayed on a panel of the camera. A central position of the emitted light is then transposed toward a center of the panel according to the stored relative position.

A method of automatically calibrating a visual parameter, such as luminance or contrast, for an imaging device is disclosed. A ratio of visual parameter difference to lens position difference between two predetermined lens positions is pre-determined for a predetermined focal length. A target visual parameter is then obtained according to the pre-determined ratio, a current visual parameter and lens position difference between a current lens position and a target lens position. Finally, the current visual parameter is updated by the target visual parameter in an automatic mode.

Abstract

In an anti-shake circuit for an imaging device, a differential circuit receives an analog sensing signal and a target signal and then generates a difference signal. An analog mathematical circuit performs at least one mathematical operation on the difference signal, resulting in generation of at least one mathematical output signal. A driver receives the at least one mathematical output signal, and, accordingly, generates a driving signal and controls an actuator in order to correct the shaking movement.

The present invention is directed to a method of calibrating sensitivity gain. In a preview mode, an imaging device is calibrated by a standard light source, therefore obtaining standard sensitivity gain of the preview mode. In a capture mode, the imaging device is calibrated by the standard light source, therefore obtaining standard sensitivity gain of the capture mode. A gain ratio of the standard sensitivity gain of the capture mode to the standard sensitivity gain of the preview mode is determined, and is then used to deduce the exposure parameters of the capture mode according to the exposure parameters of the preview mode.

In a method and system of detecting abnormality in an imaging device, multiple digital data are received in sequence from the imaging device via at least one data output pin. The multiple digital data correspond respectively to multiple pixel data. Subsequently, the multiple digital data for a specific pin are compared to determine whether they are, or how many of them are, the same. Accordingly, the specific pin is determined as abnormal when the number of the same digital data exceeds a predetermined value.
