Abstract
Various embodiments relating to image capture with a camera and generation of a processed image having desired image characteristics are provided. In one embodiment, a suggested range of values of one or more image characteristics based on preferences of one or more sources is received. Furthermore, settings of the camera are adjusted to capture a plurality of images of a scene. Each image has a different set of values within the suggested range of values of the one or more image characteristics.
Claims20
A method for controlling a camera, the method comprising:
- receiving a suggested range of values of one or more image characteristics based on preferences of one or more sources;
- and
- adjusting settings of the camera to capture a plurality of images of a scene, where each image has a different set of values within the suggested range of values of the one or more image characteristics.
A method for providing feedback to control settings of a camera to capture a plurality of images of a scene, the method comprising:
- receiving a reference image and/or associated image metadata representative of a scene;
- comparing the reference image and/or associated image metadata representative of the scene with a plurality of images and associated image metadata, where the image metadata associated with each image of the plurality of images indicates image characteristics of that image;
- identifying a subset of images of the plurality of images that match the scene based on the comparison;
- and
- suggesting a range of values of one or more image characteristics based on image metadata of one or more images of the subset, where settings of the camera are adjusted to capture the plurality of images of the scene having different values of the one or more image characteristics within the suggested range of values.
A camera system comprising:
- a camera hardware system;
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device holding instructions that when executed by the processor:
- send a reference image and/or associated image metadata representative of a scene to a database that stores a plurality of images;
- receive a suggested range of values of one or more image characteristics from the database, where the suggested range of values of the one or more image characteristics are based on image characteristics of one or more images of a subset of the plurality of images that match the scene of the reference image;
- and
- adjust settings of the camera hardware system to capture a plurality of images of the scene, where each image has a different set of values within the suggested range of values of the one or more image characteristics.
