SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING AND RENDERING A LANDSCAPE IMAGE OR VIDEO

摘要

The present disclosure provides a system and method for capturing and rendering a landscape image such that the field of view of the captured image remains consistent across any orientation maintained by the camera device at the time the image is captured. The retained field of view corresponds to the maximum landscape field of view achievable from the aspect ratio of the image when captured by the device, when the device is positioned in portrait orientation. Thus, the field of view of a landscape image captured when the camera device is positioned in landscape orientation is identical to the field of view of a landscape image captured when the device is positioned in portrait orientation. Furthermore, the system and method provide for a consistent field of view at the time of playback regardless of whether the captured image is displayed on a device having a portrait or landscape display orientation.

主权项

1. A method for rendering a landscape image of a scene captured by a camera device, the method comprising:
operating in a first mode when the camera device is positioned in a portrait orientation, the first mode comprising:
cropping a first capture of the scene, the first capture having a first aspect ratio, to produce a first cropped image having a second aspect ratio defining a field of view of the landscape image, andgenerating, from the first cropped image, the landscape image having the field of view defined by the first cropped image.
