Abstract

An image device includes a first image capture module, a second image capture module, and an image processor. The first image capture module has a first field of view, and the second image capture module has a second field of view different from the first field of view. The image processor is coupled to the first image capture module and the second image capture module. The image processor sets a virtual optical center according to the first image capture module, the second image capture module, and a target visual scope, and generates a display image corresponding to the virtual optical center.

Claims (18)

1. An image device comprising:

a first image capture module having a first field of view;

a second image capture module having a second field of view different from the first field of view; and

an image processor coupled to the first image capture module and the second image capture module, and configured to set a virtual optical center according to the first image capture module, the second image capture module, and a target visual scope, and generate a display image corresponding to the virtual optical center;

wherein the first field of view is greater than the second field of view, and

when a target viewing direction received by the image device is beyond the first field of view, the image device continues to present a previous image.

2. An image device comprising:

a first image capture module having a first field of view;

a second image capture module having a second field of view different from the first field of view; and

an image processor coupled to the first image capture module and the second image capture module, and configured to set a virtual optical center according to the first image capture module, the second image capture module, and a target visual scope, and generate a display image corresponding to the virtual optical center;

wherein the first field of view is greater than the second field of view, and

when a target viewing direction received by the image device is beyond the second field of view, the image device gradually shifts to the first image capture module to provide a short focus image covering the target visual scope.

3. An image device comprising:

a first image capture module having a first field of view;

a second image capture module having a second field of view different from the first field of view; and

an image processor coupled to the first image capture module and the second image capture module, and configured to set a virtual optical center according to the first image capture module, the second image capture module, and a target visual scope, and generate a display image corresponding to the virtual optical center;

wherein the first field of view is greater than the second field of view, and

when the target visual scope is beyond a greatest focal length of the first image capture module and beyond the second field of view, the image device displays a vague enlarged image first, and then returns to display an image with the greatest focal length.
