Abstract
Image capturing methods and image capturing apparatuses are provided. The image capturing method may include setting a target position of a live view image, tacking a moving object from the live view image, estimating a position of the moving object by using information on the tracked moving object, and capturing a still image based on the estimated position when the moving object is positioned on the target position of the live view image.
Claims28
An image capturing method comprising:
- setting a target position in a live view image;
- tracking a moving object from the live view image;
- estimating a position of the moving object after a certain period of time in the future by using information on the tracked moving object;
- and
- capturing a still image based on the estimated position when the moving object is positioned on the target position in the live view image.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to display a live view image;
- a target position setter configured to set a target position of the live view image;
- a tracker configured to track a moving object from the live view image;
- an estimator configured to estimate a position of the moving object by using information on the tracked moving object;
- and
- a photographer configured to capture a still image based on the estimated position when the moving object is positioned on the target position of the live view image.
An image capturing method, comprising:
- tracking a moving object in an image;
- determining a time when the moving object will arrive at a specified position in the image based on tracking information of the moving object;
- and
- capturing a still image of the moving object based on the time determined when the moving object will arrive at the specified position in the image.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- a tracker configured to track a moving object in an image;
- an estimator configured to determine a time when the moving object will arrive at a specified position in the image based on tracking information of the moving object;
- and
- a camera configured to capture a still image of the moving object based on the time determined when the moving object will arrive at the specified position in the image.
