Method and system for optimizing an image capturing boundary in a proposed image

1. A method for optimizing a boundary of a first image, the method comprising:

obtaining the first image;

identifying at least one characteristic of the first image;

determining an optimized image boundary of the first image to be captured, the optimized image boundary including at least one object included in the first image, based on the at least one characteristic;

determining a zoom level, based on the optimized image boundary; and

obtaining a second image based on the zoom level.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the optimized image boundary comprises determining the image boundary based on a composition or an arrangement of the at least one object within the first image.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the zoom level comprises:

displaying at least one frame for the at least one object; and

determining the zoom level based on an area of the at least one object.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the determining of the zoom level comprises determining the zoom level based on a size or a location of the area of the at least one object.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the determining of the zoom level comprises, if a size of the at least one object within the image boundary is smaller than a predefined size or the size of the at least one object within the image boundary is greater than the predefined size, determining the zoom level such that the size of the at least one object within the optimized image boundary is equal to the predefined size.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises at least one of a geographic location, a preference of a user, an operation mode of a device, ambient conditions, a composition, an arrangement, or past actions of the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second image comprises a composition including at least one of guard space around at least one region of interest (ROI), a number of objects, a size of the at least one object within the image boundary, or an attribute regarding whether there is at least one missing portion within the image boundary.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: initializing a device with a predetermined zoom level based on the at least one characteristic.

9. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the determining of the optimized image boundary comprises identifying at least one missing portion within the image boundary, and

wherein the determining of the zoom level comprises determining the zoom level such that the at least one missing portion is included within or excluded from the optimized image boundary.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an indication for the at least one object; and

receiving an input to optimize the image boundary in response to the indication.

11. A device for optimizing a boundary of a first image, the device comprising:

an integrated circuit comprising at least one processor; and

at least one memory including instructions stored therein,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to control the device to:

obtain the first image,

identify at least one characteristic of the first image,

determine an optimized image boundary of the first image, the optimized image boundary including at least one object included in the first image, based on the at least one characteristic,

determine a zoom level, based on the optimized image boundary, and

obtain a second image based on the determined zoom level.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the device is configured to determine the optimized image boundary based on a composition or an arrangement of the at least one object within the first image.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the device is configured to:

display at least one frame for the at least one object, and

determine the zoom level based on an area of the at least one object.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the device is further configured to determine the zoom level based on a size or a location of the area of the at least one object.

15. The device of claim 11 , wherein the device is configured to:

identify a size of the at least one object within the image boundary; and

if the size of the at least one object is smaller than a predefined size or the size of the at least one object is greater than the predefined size, determine the zoom level such that the size of the at least one object is equal to the predefined size.

16. The device of claim 11 , wherein the device is configured to locate the image boundary by initializing the device with a predetermined zoom level.

17. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one characteristic comprises at least one of a geographic location, a preference of a user, an operation mode of the device, ambient conditions, a composition, an arrangement, or past actions of the user.

18. The device of claim 11 , wherein the second image comprises a composition including at least one of guard space around at least one region of interest (ROI), a number of objects, a size of the at least one object within the optimized image boundary, or an attribute regarding whether there is at least one missing portion within the image boundary.

19. The device of claim 11 , wherein the device is configured to:

identify at least one missing portion in the first image; and

determine the zoom level such that the at least one missing portion is included within or excluded from the optimized image boundary.

20. The device of claim 11 , wherein the device is configured to:

provide an indication for the at least one object in the first image; and

receive an input to optimize the image boundary in response to the indication.
