Abstract
An electronic device able to adjust for large differences in skin tones and colors in images acquired includes a first camera module for acquiring a first image, a second camera module for acquiring a depth map, and a processor. The processor analyzes the first image and the depth map, and determines whether a face is detected only by the second camera module and not by the first camera module. If any such face is detected, the processor controls the first camera module to focus on the area of the face detected by the second camera module and acquire a second and further images after light-metering the semi-detected face.
Claims14
An electronic device comprising:
- a first camera module to acquire a first image;
- a second camera module to acquire a depth map;
- and
- a processor configured to analyze the first image and the depth map, and determine whether a face is detected by the second camera module but not detected by the first camera module;
- wherein if a face is detected by the second camera module but not detected by the first camera module, the processor controls the first camera module to focus on the face detected by the second camera module;
- and controls the first camera module to acquire a second image after metering the light and focusing on the face detected by the second camera.
An image acquiring method applied in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a first camera module and a second camera module, the image acquiring method comprising:
- acquiring a first image and a depth map by the first camera module and the second camera module, respectively;
- analyzing the first image and the depth map;
- determining whether a face is detected by the second camera module but not detected by the first camera module;
- controlling the first camera module to focus on the face detected by the second camera module and controlling the first camera module to acquire a second image after metering the light and focusing on the face detected by the second camera if a face is detected by the second camera module but not detected by the first camera module.
