Abstract
An electronic device includes a first camera module photographing according to a first frame rate, a second camera module photographing according to a second frame rate and a multimedia processor coupled to the first camera module and the second camera module. The multimedia processor instructs the first camera module and the second camera module to alternately photograph to obtain a sequence of pictures recorded at a third frame rate. The third frame rate is higher than the first frame rate and the second frame rate.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first camera module, photographing according to a first frame rate;
- a second camera module, photographing according to a second frame rate;
- and
- a multimedia processor, coupled to the first camera module and the second camera module, instructing the first camera module and the second camera module to alternately photograph to obtain a sequence of pictures recorded at a third frame rate,
- wherein the third frame rate is higher than the first frame rate and the second frame rate.
A method for increasing a frame rate of a plurality of pictures photographed by an electronic device, the electronic device comprising at least a first camera module photographing according to a first frame rate and a second camera module photographing according to a second frame rate, the method comprising:
- measuring a first delay time for the first camera module to photograph and a second delay time for the second camera module to photograph;
- and
- instructing the first camera module and the second camera module to alternately photograph according to the first delay time and the second delay time to obtain a sequence of pictures recorded at a third frame rate,
- wherein the third frame rate is higher than the first frame rate and the second frame rate.
