Image device corresponding to depth information/panoramic image and related image system thereof
An image device corresponding to depth information/panoramic image includes at least two image capturers. A first image capturer and a second image capturer of the at least two image capturers are used for capturing a plurality of first images and a plurality of second images, respectively. The first image capturer transmits the plurality of first images to an image processor, the second image capturer transmits the plurality of second images to the image processor, and the image processor generates depth information according to the plurality of first images, and generates panoramic images or panoramic videos according to the plurality of second images.
1. An image device corresponding to depth information/panoramic image, comprising:
at least two image capturers, comprising:
a first image capturer independently capturing a plurality of first images, wherein the first image capturer comprises a transmission circuit; and
a second image capturer independently capturing a plurality of second images, wherein when the first image capturer is coupled to an image processor and the second image capturer is coupled to the image processor through the transmission circuit of the first image capturer, a case of the second image capturer is plugged in a case of the first image capturer through a transmission interface of the second image capturer to make the case of the first image capturer vertically hold the case of the second image capturer and the case of the second image capturer be stacked on a top of the case of the first image capturer vertically, and the case of the first image capturer and the case of the second image capturer are vertically spaced apart from each other;
wherein the first image capturer transmits the plurality of first images to the image processor, the second image capturer transmits the plurality of second images to the image processor through the transmission circuit of the first image capturer, and the image processor generates depth information and panoramic images according to the plurality of first images and the plurality of second images.
2. The image device of claim 1 , wherein the image processor generates the depth information according to the plurality of first images, and generates the panoramic images according to the plurality of second images.
3. The image device of claim 1 , wherein the first image capturer comprises at least two first lenses and the second image capturer comprises at least two second lenses, and the first image capturer and the second image capturer are separate from each other.
4. The image device of claim 3 , wherein the first image capturer transmits the plurality of first images to the image processor directly through the transmission circuit, the second image capturer transmits the plurality of second images to the image processor through the transmission circuit, wherein the transmission circuit is comprised in the first image capturer.
5. The image device of claim 4 , wherein the transmission circuit is a hub or a switcher.
6. The image device of claim 4 , wherein the transmission circuit comprises at least one non-type-C universal serial bus interface, at least one type-C universal serial bus interface, a lightning interface, or a display port interface.
7. The image device of claim 1 , wherein when the image processor further utilizes the plurality of second images to perform motion detection, the image processor stops generating the panoramic images or the panoramic videos.
8. The image device of claim 1 , wherein the image processor is installed in a portable device.
9. The image device of claim 8 , wherein the image processor utilizes a plurality of third images captured by an image capturer built in the portable device to perform motion detection.
10. An image system generating depth information/panoramic image, comprising:
at least two image capturers, comprising:
a first image capturer independently capturing a plurality of first images; and
a second image capturer independently capturing a plurality of second images; and
an image processor coupled to the first image capturer and the second image capturer, wherein the image processor generates depth information and panoramic images according to the plurality of first images and the plurality of second images;
wherein when the first image capturer is coupled to the image processor and the second image capturer is coupled to the image processor through the first image capturer, a case of the second image capturer is plugged in a case of the first image capturer through a transmission interface of the second image capturer to make the case of the first image capturer vertically hold the case of the second image capturer and the case of the second image capturer be stacked on a top of the case of the first image capturer vertically.
11. The image system of claim 10 , wherein the first image capturer comprises at least two first lenses and the second image capturer comprises at least two second lenses, and the first image capturer and the second image capturer are installed on a printed circuit board and in a same shell.
12. The image system of claim 10 , wherein the first image capturer comprises at least two first lenses and the second image capturer comprises at least two second lenses, and the first image capturer and the second image capturer are separate from each other.
13. The image system of claim 10 , wherein the image processor is installed in a portable device.
14. The image system of claim 10 , wherein the image processor generates the depth information according to the plurality of first images, and generates the panoramic images according to the plurality of second images.
