Abstract
A method for correcting perspective distortion includes acquiring a plurality of images of a given subject by at least one camera of a mobile device, wherein each of the images is taken using respective actual settings for the camera captured by at least one sensor of the mobile device. The method further includes processing the images and the respective actual settings for each of the images to synthesize a single image of the given subject, wherein the single image emulates using specified virtual settings for the camera. The method further comprises displaying the synthesized single image of the given subject to a user of the mobile device.
Claims20
A method for use in correcting perspective distortion, the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images of a given subject by at least one camera of a mobile device, wherein each of the plurality of images is taken using respective actual settings for the at least one camera captured by at least one sensor of the mobile device;
- processing the plurality of images and the respective actual settings for each of the plurality of images to synthesize a single image of the given subject, wherein the single image emulates using specified virtual settings for the at least one camera;
- and
- displaying the synthesized single image of the given subject to a user of the mobile device.
A mobile device comprising:
- at least one camera;
- at least one sensor;
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the memory, the processor operative:
- to acquire a plurality of images of a given subject by the at least one camera, wherein each of the plurality of images is taken using respective actual settings for the at least one camera captured by the at least one sensor;
- to process the plurality of images and the respective actual settings for each of the plurality of images to synthesize a single image of the given subject, wherein the single image emulates using specified virtual settings for the at least one camera;
- and
- to display the synthesized single image of the given subject to a user of the mobile device.
A computer program product computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having machine-readable program code embodied therewith, said machine-readable program code comprising machine-readable program code configured:
- to acquire a plurality of images of a given subject by at least one camera of a mobile device, wherein each of the plurality of images is taken using respective actual settings for the at least one camera captured by at least one sensor of the mobile device;
- to process the plurality of images and the respective actual settings for each of the plurality of images to synthesize a single image of the given subject, wherein the single image emulates using specified virtual settings for the at least one camera;
- and
- to display the synthesized single image of the given subject to a user of the mobile device.
