Image capture methods and systems with positioning and angling assistance

An image capture system with positioning and angling assistance for use in an electronic device, comprising:

• an image capture unit capturing a reference image and at least one preview image;
• a display unit;
• and
• a processing unit rendering and displaying a target marker based on analysis of the captured reference image on the display unit, wherein the target marker is overlapped on the reference image, and rendering and displaying a present-marker on the display unit according to the target marker and analysis of the captured preview image,
• wherein the target marker and the present-marker are concurrently overlapped on the preview image,
• the reference image is translucently overlapped on the preview image,
• whether the reference image and the preview image are substantially matched is determined by comparing the reference image and the preview image and by determining whether the target marker is substantially matched with the present marker, and
• the reference image is a fixed view image and the preview image is a live view image.

An image capture method with positioning and angling assistance for use in an electronic device, comprising:

• capturing a reference image;
• capturing a preview image via an image capture unit;
• analyzing the captured preview image;
• and
• rendering and displaying a present-marker on a display unit according to a preset position and analysis of the captured reference image and the captured preview image,
• wherein the reference image is translucently overlapped on the preview image,
• the reference image and the preview image are compared, and
• the reference image is a fixed view image and the preview image is a live view image.
