Fig. 1 is the simplified schematic diagram of a kind of image acquisition system according to one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, the image acquisition system of the present embodiment, be applicable to a mancarried device 100 (please refer to Fig. 2).Wherein mancarried device 100 is such as personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), PDA mobile phone, intelligent mobile phone or touch controlled handset.In addition, mancarried device 100 is configured with a set of lenses 102.
This image acquisition system comprises action sensing module 104, lens position setting module 106, lens actuator 108 and image acquisition unit 110.
Action sensing module 104 responds to an operate time of an image capture action and image capture action.Namely when user produces an image capture action on mancarried device 100, when comprising the physical button representing pick-up image with finger presses or the virtual key being shown on Touch Screen, produce an image capture action, and action sensing module 104 responds to this image capture action and its operate time.More particularly, this operate time be such as image capture action from during the action that completes to action.
The operate time that lens position setting module 106 is responded to according to action sensing module 104, determine the lens position (lens position) to the set of lenses 102 that captured entity is focused.Moreover lens actuator 108 drives set of lenses 102 to image capture lens position.And image acquisition unit 110, carry out an image capture.
Namely, when being more than or equal to focusing sweep time of the focusing scanning that set of lenses 102 carries out according to image capture action, then the lens position that determines with scanning of focus of lens position setting module 106 is for image capture lens position operate time.On the other hand, when operate time be less than focusing sweep time time, then with default lens position for image capture lens position.
More particularly, when user produces image capture action on mancarried device 100, then touch lens actuator 108 for institute for shooting entity carry out focusing scan.Generally speaking, in focusing scanning process, set of lenses 102 moves forward and backward along optic axis via lens actuator 108, until the image of shooting entity is in image capture element (image-capturing element, such as charge coupled cell, charge-coupled device (CCD)) frequency of image capture signal that produces of upper imaging maximum time, now the position of set of lenses is then in optimal lens position, takes the focal position that entity is then positioned at this set of lenses.That is when adjustment lens group position, when making shooting entity be positioned at the focal position of set of lenses, the image of the shooting entity captured is then the most clear.But, drive set of lenses 102 to find optimal lens position along optic axis is movable via lens actuator 108, then need to expend focusing sweep time.
Therefore, when user produces image capture action on mancarried device 100, when being greater than the focusing sweep time needed for set of lenses 102 its operate time, then lens position setting module 106 is after completing focusing scanning, and the lens position (that is corresponding to the optimal lens position of best focus position) scanning determine to focus is as image capture lens position.
But, when user suddenly presses physical button mancarried device 100 representing pick-up image or the virtual key be shown on Touch Screen, when causing the focusing sweep time be less than operate time needed for set of lenses 102, then lens position setting module 106 immediately with default lens position for image capture lens position.In an embodiment, this focal position corresponding to default lens position is such as 100 ~ 200 centimeters.In another embodiment, this default lens position is such as the usual lens position of user.
More particularly, image acquisition system, also comprises a logging modle (not illustrating) and a statistical module (not illustrating).The each user of logging modle record uses the image capture lens position of the nearly row image capture of mancarried device 100.And the usual lens position that the image capture lens position that statistical module counts records is commonly used to obtain user, and provide this usual lens position to lens position setting module 106 as default lens position.Namely different users, when taking different entities, the inertia that usual a guy uses, entity of such as liking being taken is panorama or half body in pick-up image, even just head portrait.Lens position during each image capture by statistics user, acquisition inertia falls in the shadow that can calculate user, and then can estimate out and be most suitable for the lens position of user when carrying out image capture, and with this lens position for presetting lens position.
Therefore, when the operate time of the image capture action that user produces on mancarried device 100 be less than focusing sweep time time, even if shooting entity is not the focusing position of position corresponding to default lens position, due to the usual lens position that default lens position is user, therefore the probability raising that entity is positioned at the field depth of focal position is taken, so the image definition captured is then within the scope of a tolerable.Thus, without the need to wait consuming time focusing scanning, image acquisition system of the present invention can the image capture action of fast reaction user, significantly shorten image capture action and shutter start between time difference.
Fig. 2 is the general flow chart of a kind of image acquisition method according to one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 2, the image acquisition method of this example is for mancarried device (mancarried device 100 as Fig. 1), and mancarried device is configured with a set of lenses (set of lenses 102 as Fig. 1).In step S201, an operate time of induction image capture action and image capture action.Afterwards, in step S205, comparison operate time with carry out focusing the focusing sweep time needed for scanning.
When being more than or equal to focusing sweep time of the focusing scanning that set of lenses carries out according to image capture action, then the lens position determined with scanning of focus is for image capture lens position (step S211) operate time.
When this operate time be less than focusing sweep time, then with default lens position for image capture lens position (step S215).Then, carry out an image capture, wherein set of lenses is positioned at this image capture lens position (step S221).
It should be noted that after the action of induction image capture, also comprise according to responded to image capture action, carry out focusing scanning.In addition, aforementioned default lens position is such as the image capture lens position via recording when each user carries out image capture.The image capture lens position that statistics records to obtain the usual lens position of user, and is preset lens position with this usual lens position.
In the aforementioned embodiment had about image acquisition system, kenel (namely the length of operate time) according to user's image capture action produced on a portable device has been described in detail in detail, the concept of the lens position (focal position in other words during image capture) during decision image capture, therefore in the present embodiment, no longer this repeats.In addition, image acquisition system of the present invention specifically can be carried out via execution one computer readable program.And this computer readable program can be stored in computer-readable writes in Storage Media (not illustrating), and perform the instruction of this computer readable program specifically to carry out image acquisition system of the present invention and image acquisition method by the processor of mancarried device.
In the present invention, when user produces an image capture action on mancarried device, mancarried device produces the pattern (that is operate time length) of image capture action according to user, the lens position of automatic setting set of lenses is default lens position, or the optimal lens position (that is image capture lens position) corresponding to best focus position determined according to focusing scanning result.Due to default lens position be with general popular when filmed image the lens position commonly use for mancarried device preset value, or to analyze the customized lens position of user's usual lens position record decision.Thus, when user is eager the image capturing transaction, the image capture action that produces of urgency pressure shutter of user, the set of lenses can touching mancarried device directly enters to move the image capture of transaction with default lens position, and the focal position preset corresponding to lens position is the focal position that user commonly uses, the probability causing the entity that is taken to be positioned at the field depth of focal position improves, and therefore captured image definition is then within the scope of a tolerable.So need not expend time in and wait for focusing scanning, mancarried device can the image capture action of fast reaction user, shorten shutter and start time difference when producing with image capture action.
