Abstract
Methods and electronic devices are provided that obtain a reference image of an imaged body using a first camera disposed on a first side of an electronic device, obtain image data of the imaged body using a second camera disposed on an opposite, second side of the electronic device, and provide guidance to an operator of the electronic device based on a comparison between the reference image and the image data. The guidance notifies the operator how to move the electronic device so that the imaged body in the image data is closer to being spatially aligned with a reference location of the imaged body in the reference image.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining a reference image of an imaged body using a first camera disposed on a first side of an electronic device;
- obtaining image data of the imaged body using a second camera disposed on an opposite, second side of the electronic device;
- and
- providing guidance an operator of the electronic device based on a comparison between the reference image and the image data, the guidance notifying the operator how to move the electronic device so that the imaged body in the image data is closer to being spatially aligned with a reference location of the imaged body in the reference image.
A device comprising:
- a housing having a first side and an opposite second side;
- a first camera on the first side of the housing;
- an electronic display on the first side of the housing;
- a second camera on the second side of the housing;
- a processor;
- and
- a storage medium storing program instructions accessible by the processor, wherein, responsive to execution of the program instructions, the processor:
- obtains a reference image of an imaged body using the first camera;
- obtains image data of the imaged body using the second camera;
- and
- provides guidance to an operator based on a comparison between the reference image and the image data, the guidance notifying the operator how to move the housing so that the imaged body in the image data is closer to being spatially aligned with a reference location of the imaged body in the reference image.
A device comprising:
- a housing having a front camera on a front side of the housing and a rear camera on a rear side of the housing, the front camera obtaining a reference image of an operator that indicates a reference location of the operator in an image frame of the reference image;
- a processor;
- and
- a storage medium storing program instructions accessible by the processor, wherein, responsive to execution of the program instructions, the processor obtains image data of the operator using the second camera, compares a current location of the operator in the image data with the reference location of the operator in the reference image, and provides guidance to the operator based on a difference between the current location of the operator in the image data and the reference location of the operator in the reference image, the guidance notifying the operator how to move the housing so that the current location of the operator in the image data moves toward the reference location.
