Abstract
An imaging device includes an image sensor configured to generate a plurality of original images, and an image processor configured to generate a merged image based on the plurality of original images. The image processor is configured to generate the merged image by classifying the plurality of original images into a plurality of stitching groups based on a first stitching direction, stitching original images included in a same stitching group to generate a plurality of intermediate images, and stitching the plurality of intermediate images based on a second stitching direction to generate the merged image.
Claims20
An imaging device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to generate a plurality of original images;
- and
- an image processor configured to generate a merged image based on the plurality of original images, wherein the image processor is configured to generate the merged image by classifying the plurality of original images into a plurality of stitching groups based on a first stitching direction, stitching original images included in a same stitching group to generate a plurality of intermediate images, and stitching the plurality of intermediate images based on a second stitching direction to generate the merged image.
An imaging device for generating a merged image based on a plurality of original images, the imaging device comprising:
- a memory configured to store a conversion matrix for warping an original image, and a cropping region of the original image;
- an image sensor configured to generate the original image, warp the original image by using the conversion matrix to generate a warping image, and crop the warping image by using the cropping region to generate a cropping image;
- and
- an image processor configured to receive a plurality of cropping images from the image sensor, and blend the plurality of cropping images to generate a merged image.
An imaging device comprising:
- a memory configured to store a conversion matrix for warping an original image, and a cropping region of the original image;
- an optical device configured to rotate based on rotation information, the rotation information including a direction and an angle;
- a controller configured to transmit a rotation signal to the optical device, and generate a photograph signal corresponding to the rotation signal;
- an image sensor configured to, in response to the photograph signal received from the controller, photograph a target object to generate an original image, warp the original image by using the conversion matrix to generate a warping image, and crop the warping image by using the cropping region to generate a cropping image;
- and
- an application processor configured to receive a plurality of cropping images from the image sensor, and blend the plurality of cropping images to generate a merged image.
