System for controlling a plurality of cameras in a device
A method of operating a device having at least two camera lenses includes inputting a first image via a first camera lens, and detecting a control gesture from image processing of the first image. The method further includes controlling an operation associated with processing an image input from a second camera lens in response to the detected gesture from the first image.
1. A method of operating a device having at least first and second camera lenses, comprising:
inputting a first image via the first camera lens;
detecting from processing said first image a control gesture over the first camera lens; and
controlling an operation associated with processing an image input from the second camera lens in response to the detected control gesture from the first image.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting a control gesture includes detecting a finger over the first camera lens.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically sampling an exposure time associated with the first camera lens to automatically find focus for the second camera lens.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically sampling a brightness level associated with the first camera lens to automatically initiate shutter or capture operation for the second camera lens.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically switching an image capture function from the second camera lens to the first camera lens based on automatically sampling a brightness level associated with the first camera lens.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically switching an input trigger function from the first camera lens to the second camera lens based on automatically sampling a brightness level associated with the first camera lens.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image includes elements selected from a group consisting of hue, chroma, saturation, luminance and brightness.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second image includes elements selected from a group consisting of hue, chroma, saturation, luminance and brightness.
9. A method of operating a device having at least first and second camera lenses, comprising:
inputting a first scene image via the first camera lens;
inputting a second scene image via the second camera lens;
detecting, from said first and second scene images, a control gesture over a one of the first and second camera lenses and the corresponding one of said first and second camera lenses associated with said detected control gesture; and
controlling an operation associated with processing an image input from the other of said first and second camera lenses in response to the detected control gesture.
10. The method claimed in claim 9 , wherein the detected control gesture is a finger over either the first or second camera lens.
