Image acquisition device
View Patent ↗An image acquisition device capable of accomplishing special-effect processing on real-time motion of the image data in a preview mode is disclosed. The device includes a lens, an optical sensor, an image signal processor, a special-effect processor, a storage unit, and an image display unit. The optical sensor receives an optical signal representing an image through the lens and outputs an electric signal corresponding to the image. The image signal processor couples to the optical sensor for processing the electric signal with a first processing mode and then outputting a raw image data. The special-effect processor couples to the image signal processor for processing the raw image data with a second processing mode and then outputting a processed image data. The storage unit saves the processed image data. The image display unit displays the image based on the processed image data.
1. An image acquisition device comprising:
a lens;
an optical sensor for receiving, through the lens, an optical signal which represents an image and outputting an electric signal corresponding to the image;
an image signal processor coupled to the optical sensor for processing the electric signal with a first processing mode and outputting a first image data;
a special-effect processor coupled to the image signal processor for generating a second image data by using a real-time reshape algorithm to change a pixel position of the first image data and outputting the second image data;
a storage unit for saving the second image data; and
an image display unit for displaying the image based on the second image data.
2. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , further comprising an image output unit for outputting the second image data saved in the storage unit to an extra image display unit.
3. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , further comprising an image parameter adjusting unit for receiving the second image data outputted by the special-effect processor and enabling the parameter adjustment of the second image data and then outputting the adjusted second image data to the storage unit.
4. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , further comprising an extra special-effect processor for accomplishing further special-effect processing on the saved second image data.
5. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the second image data is compressed by a compressing unit before being saved in the storage unit.
6. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the special-effect processor accomplishes adjustment of the pixel position and the color property of the second image data by involving a color property adjusting technology.
7. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the special-effect processor is appeared to be in form of any one of firmware, hardware and firmware together with hardware.
8. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the special-effect processor accomplishes processing of special-effect including soft focusing, framing, printing, scaling, sketching, antiquating, oil painting, sharpening, carving, spraying and the combination thereof.
9. The image acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the special-effect processor accomplishes real-time reshape on the first image data and outputs the second image data of special-effect for a dynamical image playing.
10. The image acquisition device according to claim 9 , wherein the special-effect processor incorporates sound-effect with the dynamic image playing.
