Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques are generally described for an image capture system that may include an image sensor, a flash for providing illumination, a data storage, and a processor operatively associated with the data storage. The processor may be adapted to execute computer implemented instructions to pre-store one or more image capture device characteristics in the data storage, acquire data in a pre-capture phase, model shadow effects based on either or both of the pre-stored data and the acquired data, modify one or more image capture device settings based on the modeled shadow effects, and record image data with the image sensor. Illumination may be provided substantially coincident with recording of the image data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: an image sensor, wherein the image sensor includes a first image sensor and a second image sensor; a processor unit configured to perform or cause to be performed: during a pre-capture phase: acquire scene-related data of a scene via the image sensor, wherein acquisition of the scene-related data includes recordation of a pre-capture image at a memory by use of a pre-flash of a flash; acquire additional scene-related data via…
