IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS

摘要

An image capturing method and an image capturing apparatus are disclosed. The image capturing method is performed by a carrier equipped with the image capturing apparatus. The image capturing apparatus has an image sensor and a panoramic scene acquirer capable of being moved out of and retracted into the carrier. The panoramic scene acquirer is moved out of the carrier of the carrier to correspond in position to the image sensor for capturing a surrounding scene for one time. Afterwards, the carrier produces a complete panoramic image or a partial image of the surrounding scene. Because the panoramic scene acquirer captures the surrounding scene for one time, time lag does not exist during the process of capturing the surrounding scene. Hence, the image shows the surrounding scene naturally.

主权项

1. An image capturing method performed by a carrier having an image capturing apparatus, the image capturing apparatus comprising a panoramic scene acquirer and an image sensor having a lens, the panoramic scene acquirer being retractable into the carrier, and positioned corresponding to the lens of the image sensor when the panoramic scene acquirer is moved out of the carrier, the method comprising:
moving the panoramic scene acquirer of the image capturing apparatus out of the carrier; acquiring a surrounding scene for one time by the lens of the image sensor through the panoramic scene acquirer; capturing the surrounding scene acquired from the lens by the image sensor controlled by the carrier, and transmitting an image of the surrounding scene from the image sensor to a control device of the carrier; and real-time converting the image of the surrounding scene into a panoramic image, and displaying or storing a complete panoramic image or a part of the panoramic image for post-production by the control device of the carrier.
