Apparatus and method for image capture using image stored in camera

摘要

An apparatus for capturing an image using an image stored in a camera includes a lens system for optically receiving an image, an image signal processor for converting the received image into a preview image and generating a first-resolution image using the received image at predetermined periods, a first buffer for receiving the first-resolution image from the image signal processor and temporarily storing the received first-resolution image, a display for displaying the preview image received from the image signal processor and the first-resolution image received from the first buffer, and a controller for controlling the image signal processor to display the first-resolution image temporarily stored in the first buffer on the display upon receiving an image capturing signal.

1. A method for capturing an image using an image stored in a camera, the method comprising:
receiving images from an image sensor; converting, at each one of a plurality of first time points separated by a first predetermined interval, one of the received images corresponding to the one of the first time points into a preview image, and displaying each preview image on a display; generating, at each one of a plurality of second time points separated by a second predetermined interval having a different length than the first predetermined interval, a high-resolution image from one of the received images corresponding to the one of the second time points, each high-resolution image having a higher resolution than each preview image; providing the generated high-resolution images sequentially to a first buffer and a second buffer; temporarily storing the sequentially provided high-resolution images sequentially in the first buffer and the second buffer; and storing, in a separate area of memory, in response to an input of an image capturing signal, a high-resolution image sequentially temporarily stored in the first buffer and the second buffer.
