METHOD FOR IMAGE CAPTURING AND AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE METHOD

摘要

In an image capturing method via a gesture operation, an image of the gesture operation is captured when a request to take an image via a gesture is made. The captured image of the gesture operation is recognized. An enclosed pattern or a semi-enclosed pattern is determined whether to be included in the captured image. If yes, the captured image is stored and a new image is captured. Then, the new image is compared with the image containing the enclosed pattern or the semi-enclosed pattern. The area of the new image to be displayed, and image object located at the area of the new image to be displayed are determined. A preview image is generated based on the image object located at the area to be displayed and displayed.

主权项

1. An image capturing method via a gesture operation being executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, the electronic device comprising at least one camera and a display device, the method comprising:
capturing, at the electronic device, an image of the gesture operation via the at least one camera; recognizing, at the electronic device, the captured image of the gesture operation; determining, at the electronic device, whether an enclosed pattern or a semi-enclosed pattern is included in the captured image; storing, at the electronic device, the image containing the enclosed pattern or the semi-enclosed pattern in a storage device if the enclosed pattern or the semi-enclosed pattern is included; capturing, at the electronic device, a new image located in the field of view of the camera; determining, at the electronic device, the area of the new image to be displayed and image object located at the area of the new image to be displayed; generating, at the electronic device, a preview image based on the image object located at the area to be displayed; and displaying, at the electronic device, the generated preview image.
