Abstract
Digital image generation through use of capture support data is described. In one example, an image capture device is configured to obtain capture support data from an imaging support system via a network through inclusion of a pre-capture system. The pre-capture system, for instance, is configured to obtain capture support data from an imaging support system via a network. The capture support data is configured for use by digital image processor along with raw image data received from an image sensor to generate a digital image, e.g., that is configured for rendering.
Claims20
In a digital medium environment to generate a digital image of an image scene, a method implemented by an image capture device, the method comprising:
- generating, by an image sensor of the image capture device, an analog signal of the image scene from light captured by at least one lens;
- converting, by an analog-digital converter of the image capture device, the analog signal into raw image data;
- identifying, by the image capture device, an object included in the raw image data before receiving a user input to initiate capture of the raw image data;
- obtaining, by a pre-capture system of the image capture device, capture support data from a source that is external to the image capture device based on the object included in the raw image data before receiving the user input to initiate capture of the raw image data, the capture support data generated at least partially through use of a neural network;
- receiving, by a digital image processor from a user input device of the image capture device, the user input to initiate capture of the raw image data;
- and
- generating, by the digital image processor of the image capture device, the digital image through processing the raw image data based at least in part on the capture support data.
An image capture device comprising:
- an image sensor to generate an analog signal of an image scene from light captured by at least one lens;
- an analog-digital converter to convert the analog signal into raw image data;
- a pre-capture system to:
- identify an object included in the raw image data before receiving a user input to initiate capture of the raw image data;
- and
- obtain capture support data from a source that is external to the image capture device based on the object included in the raw image data before receiving the user input to initiate capture of the raw image data, the capture support data generated at least partially through use of a neural network;
- and
- a digital image processor to generate a digital image by processing the raw image data based at least in part on the capture support data.
In a digital medium environment to generate a digital image of an image scene, computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, responsive to execution on a processing system of an image capture device, causes the processing system to perform operations comprising:
- generating an analog signal of the image scene from light captured by at least one lens of the image capture device;
- converting the analog signal into raw image data;
- identifying an object included in the raw image data before receiving a user input to initiate capture of the raw image data;
- obtaining capture support data from a source that is external to the image capture device based on the object included in the raw image data before receiving the user input to initiate capture of the raw image data, the capture support data generated at least partially through use of a neural network;
- receiving the user input to initiate capture of the raw image data;
- and
- generating the digital image by combining the raw image data and the capture support data.
