Method of generating image data by an image device including a plurality of lenses and apparatus for generating image data

An image data generation apparatus comprising:

• a lens array including a plurality of lenses attached to a surface of an imaging device;
• an angle adjustment unit which adjusts an angle formed by each of the plurality of lenses relative to a reference plane based on a photography mode;
• a first obtaining unit which obtains at least one image data using the plurality of adjusted lenses;
• and
• a second obtaining unit which generates second image data corresponding to the photography mode using the at least one first image data,
• wherein each of the plurality of lenses are arrayed on the reference plane, and
• wherein the photography mode comprises a zoom mode in which the angle is adjusted such that at least one of the plurality of lenses is angled towards a central lens disposed in a center of the plurality of lenses,
• wherein a zooming mode operation unit comprises a detail extraction unit which extracts a detail component from the first image data, a scaling unit which scales the detail component,
• and a compensation unit which compensates a detail component of the second image data using the scaled detail component.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program which executes a method of generating image data using an imaging device, the method comprising:

• adjusting an angle formed by each of a plurality of lenses attached to the imaging device relative to a reference plane based on a photography mode;
• obtaining at least one first image data using the plurality of adjusted lenses;
• and
• generating second image data corresponding to the photography mode using the at least one first image data,
• wherein each of the plurality of lenses are arrayed on the reference plane, and
• wherein the photography mode comprises a zoom mode in which the angle is adjusted such that at least one of the plurality of lenses is angled towards a central lens disposed in a center of the plurality of lenses,
• wherein the generating the second image data comprises extracting a detail component from the first image data, scaling the detail component, and compensating a detail component of the second image data using the scaled detail component of the first image data.

A method of generating image data using an imaging device having a plurality of lenses, the method comprising:

• determining a photography mode at which the imaging device is set;
• adjusting an angle formed by each of the lenses relative to a reference plane based on a photography mode;
• obtaining first image data using the plurality of adjusted lenses;
• and
• generating second image data which corresponds to the photography mode using the first image data,
• wherein each of the plurality of lenses are arrayed on the reference plane, and
• wherein the photography mode comprises a zoom mode in which the angle is adjusted such that at least one of the plurality of lenses is angled towards a central lens disposed in a center of the plurality of lenses,
• wherein the generating the second image data comprises extracting a detail component from the first image data, scaling the detail component, and compensating a detail component of the second image data using the scaled detail component of the first image data.
