Lighting control for multi-view image capture

A method, comprising:

• in an electronic device:
• selecting, from a plurality of specific lighting patterns, a set of lighting patterns to capture a set of images of a subject, wherein
• a set of multi-view image capture devices captures the set of images of the subject, and
• the set of multi-view image capture devices is associated with the electronic device;
• controlling a lighting system associated with the electronic device to illuminate the subject with a first set of flash pulses, wherein
• the first set of flashes includes a first pulse and a second pulse,
• an illumination intensity of the first set of flash pulses increases from a first intensity associated with the first pulse to a second intensity associated with the second pulse, and
• the first intensity is lower than the second intensity;
• controlling the lighting system to illuminate the subject with a second set of flash pulses, based on the illumination of the subject with the first set of flash pulses, wherein
• the second set of flash pulses corresponds to the selected set of lighting patterns, and
• the illumination intensity of each of the second set of flash pulses corresponds to the second intensity;
• controlling an auto-focus setting associated with each of the set of multi-view image capture devices, based on the selected set of lighting patterns;
• and
• controlling the set of multi-view image capture devices associated with the electronic device to capture each of the set of images of the subject, based on the illumination of the subject with the second set of flash pulses and the controlled auto-focus setting.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that when executed by an electronic device, causes the electronic device to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• selecting, from a plurality of specific lighting patterns, a set of lighting patterns to capture a set of images of a subject, wherein
• a set of multi-view image capture devices captures the set of images of the subject, and
• the set of multi-view image capture devices is associated with the electronic device;
• controlling a lighting system associated with the electronic device to illuminate the subject with a first set of flash pulses, wherein
• the first set of flashes includes a first pulse and a second pulse,
• an illumination intensity of the first set of flash pulses increases from a first intensity associated with the first pulse to a second intensity associated with the second pulse, and
• the first intensity is lower than the second intensity;
• controlling the lighting system to illuminate the subject with a second set of flash pulses, based on the illumination of the subject with the first set of flash pulses, wherein
• the second set of flash pulses corresponds to the selected set of lighting patterns, and
• the illumination intensity of each of the second set of flash pulses corresponds to the second intensity;
• controlling an auto-focus setting associated with each of the set of multi-view image capture devices, based on the selected set of lighting patterns;
• and
• controlling the set of multi-view image capture devices associated with the electronic device to capture each of the set of images of the subject, based on the illumination of the subject with the second set of flash pulses and the controlled auto-focus setting.
