Fig. 2(c) is a schematic diagram of a third image in the first embodiment of the present application. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a fourth image obtained in the first embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the photographing apparatus 100 includes a base 10, a first camera 20a, a second camera 20B, a third camera 20c and a processor 30, the first camera 20a, the second camera 20B and the third camera 20c are all fixedly connected to the base 10, the processor 30 is configured to control the first camera 20a, the second camera 20B and the third camera 20c to photograph a subject to be photographed respectively, so as to obtain a first image P1, a second image P2 and a third image P3, respectively, the first image P1 includes a first main region a1 and a first auxiliary region B1, the second image P2 includes a second main region a2 and a second auxiliary region B2, the third image P3 includes a third main region A3 and a third auxiliary region B3, a definition of the first main region a1 is greater than a definition of the first auxiliary region B1, the definition of second main area A2 is greater than the definition of second auxiliary region B2, the definition of third main area A3 is greater than the definition of third auxiliary region B3, and is different first camera 20a corresponds the difference first main area A1, and is different second camera 20B corresponds the difference second main area B2, and is different third camera 20c corresponds the difference third main area A3, processor 30 is used for the basis first main area A1, second main area A2 with third main area A3 splices into fourth image P4.

Optionally, the fourth image P4 is obtained by stitching according to the first main area a1 in the first image P1, the second main area a2 in the second image P2, and the third main area A3 in the third image P3, for example, the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b, and the third camera 20c respectively shoot the same object to be shot to obtain a first image P1, a second image P2, and a third image P3, respectively, the first main area corresponding to the image shot by the first camera 20a is denoted as a11, the first main area corresponding to the image shot by the second camera 20b is denoted as a12, and the first main area a13 corresponding to the image shot by the third camera 20c is denoted as a13, so that the fourth image P4 can be obtained by stitching or overlapping according to a11, a12, and a 13. Since the fourth image P4 includes the first main region a1 in the first image P1, the second main region a2 in the second image P2, and the third main region A3 in the third image P3, the entire fourth image P4 can be made clearer, and therefore, the technical solution of the present application is helpful for improving the shooting effect of the shooting device to obtain an image with a better imaging effect.

Optionally, the processor 30 is configured to control focal lengths of the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b, and the third camera 20c, so that focusing ranges of the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b, and the third camera 20c are different, and the same shooting object is photographed. The focusing ranges of the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b and the third camera 20c are different from each other, so that images shot by the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b and the third camera 20c can be synthesized, multiple shooting modes are realized, shot images with multiple definitions are obtained, and the stereoscopic imaging effect is improved.

In the present embodiment, the base 10 supports the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b, and the third camera 20 c. The first camera 20a, the second camera 20b, and the third camera 20c are fixed to each other. The main shooting optical axes of the cameras 20 are parallel to each other. Two adjacent cameras 20 set up at an interval each other to reduce two adjacent cameras 20 mutual electromagnetic interference. Each camera 20 includes a photosensitive chip 21, a filter 22, a voice coil motor 23, and a lens 24. Sensitization chip 21 is fixed in base 10, light filter 22 stack up in on the sensitization chip 21, voice coil motor 23 is fixed in sensitization chip 21 week side, lens 24 sliding connection in voice coil motor 23, and relative sensitization chip 21 with light filter 22 slides, shoots the light process lens 24 with light filter 22 throws extremely on the sensitization chip 21. Each of the photosensitive chips 21 has the same size. The pigment array structure of each of the filters 22 is also the same. The focal length of each lens 24 is different from each other, i.e. the focusing range of each camera 20 is different from each other. Due to the fact that the focal length of each lens 24 is different, the focusing range of each camera 20 is different, and the imaging position of each camera 20 when the object to be photographed is different, that is, the definition of the image acquired by each camera 20 is different. Images acquired by the first camera 20a, the second camera 20b and the third camera 20c are spliced or superposed and synthesized, so that various shooting modes are realized, shooting images with various definitions are acquired, and the stereoscopic imaging effect is improved.

The first camera 20a, the second camera 20b, and the third camera 20c may be arranged on the base 10 in an array, or may be arranged on the base 10 along a straight line. The two adjacent cameras 20 can be arranged at equal intervals. It can be understood that, because the focusing ranges of the cameras 20 are different, the imaging positions of the cameras 20 are different when the objects to be photographed are photographed, and the brightness of the clear objects photographed by the cameras 20 are also different, and by selecting one, two, or three of the cameras 20 to photograph, the brightness of the light rays photographed by the photographing device 100 can be changed, which is helpful for realizing the stereoscopic imaging effect.

The photographing device provided by the technical scheme, the fourth image comprises a first main area in all the first images, a second main area in the second images and a third main area in the third images, the definition of the first main area is greater than that of the first auxiliary area, the definition of the second main area is greater than that of the second auxiliary area, the definition of the third main area is greater than that of the third auxiliary area, and therefore the integral fourth image is clearer, therefore, the technical scheme of the application is helpful for improving the photographing effect of the photographing device and obtaining the image with better imaging effect.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 4(a), fig. 4(b), fig. 4(c), and fig. 4(d), fig. 4(a) is a schematic diagram of the first camera obtaining the first image according to the second embodiment of the present application. Fig. 4(b) is a schematic diagram of a second camera obtaining a second image in the second embodiment of the present application. Fig. 4(c) is a schematic diagram of a third camera obtaining a third image in the second embodiment of the present application. Fig. 4(d) is a schematic diagram of a fourth image obtained in the second embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, when none of the first main region a1, the second main region a2, and the third main region A3 has an overlapping region a11, the processor 30 obtains the fourth image P4 by stitching according to an auxiliary region B1 among the first main region a1, the second main region a2, and the third main region A3.

Optionally, in a preferred embodiment, the secondary region B1 located between the first main region, the second main region and the third main region is subjected to an overlapping process to improve the resolution.

For example, the first main area in the first image P11 captured by the first camera 20a is a01, the first auxiliary area is B01, the second main area in the second image P12 captured by the second camera 20B is a02, the second auxiliary area is B02, the third main area in the third image P13 captured by the third camera 20c is a03, and the third auxiliary area is B03, when the first image P8, the second image P12, and the third image P13 are overlapped, the first main area a01, the second main area a02, and the third main area a03 do not overlap with each other, and when the first image P8, the second image P12, and the third image P13 are overlapped, the processor 30 splices the first main area a01, the second main area a02, the third main area a03, the first main area B5827, the second main area a 465, the third main area a and the second auxiliary area B57324P 12 between the first main area, the second main area, and the third main area.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 5 together, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an image processing method according to a third embodiment of the present application. A method according to a third embodiment is substantially the same as the method according to the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, when there is an overlapping area a11 among the first main area a1, the second main area a2, and the third main area A3, one of the first image P1, the second image P2, and the third image P3, which has a higher resolution than the overlapping area a11, is extracted as a target area, and the target area is joined with the first main area a1, the second main area a2, and the third main area A3 of the other first image P1, the second image P2, and the third image P3, from which the overlapping area a11 is removed, to obtain the fourth image P4.

For example, the first image P31 captured by the first camera 20a, the second image P32 captured by the second camera 20b, the third image P33 captured by the third camera 20c, the first image P31 corresponding to the first main area a31, the second image P32 corresponding to the second main area a32, the third image P33 corresponding to the third main area a33, the first main area a31, the second main area a32 and the third main area a33 having the overlapping area a11, one main area a312 with higher definition in the overlapping area a11 in the first image P31, the second image P32 and the third image P33 is extracted as a target area, and the target area is spliced with the other first main area a 68628 of the first image P31, the second image P32 and the third image P33 after the overlapping area a11 a is removed to obtain the fourth image P41. The first main area a32 and the first main area a33 have an overlapping area a11, the main area a323, which is the higher-resolution one of the overlapping areas a11, of the first image P31, the second image P32 and the third image P33 is extracted as a target area, and the target area is spliced with the first main area a31, the second main area a32 and the third main area a33 of the other first image P31, the second image P32 and the third image P33 after the overlapping area a11 is removed to obtain the fourth image P42. The fourth images P41 and P42 are stitched to obtain a final fourth image P4.

Optionally, in a preferred embodiment, the resolutions of the adjacent first main area a1 and second main area a2 are a first resolution and a second resolution, respectively, wherein the first resolution is greater than the second resolution, and the resolution of the overlapping area a11 is gradually changed from the second resolution to the first resolution.

Specifically, because the adjacent first main region a1 and the second main region a2 have different definitions, if the adjacent first main region a1 and the second main region a2 are directly overlapped or spliced, a sudden change in definition occurs, so that the overlapped or spliced images are extremely discordant, and the visual effect is affected. Because the overlapping area has both the area with the first definition and the area with the second definition, the definition of the overlapping area in the technical scheme is gradually changed from the second definition to the first definition, on one hand, the image can be clearer, and the stereoscopic effect can be presented; on the other hand, it is helpful to solve the problem of image incompatibility due to the difference in the definition of the adjacent first main region a1 and second main region a 2.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 6(a) and fig. 6(b), fig. 6(a) is a schematic structural diagram of an image capturing apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 6(b) is a schematic diagram of an image processing method according to a fourth embodiment of the present application. The method of the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as the method of the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, the photographing apparatus 100 further includes a first detector 51, when the first detector 51 detects that the object to be photographed presents the same color, the processor 30 controls the focus areas J of the first, second and

third cameras

20a, 20b and 20c to be photographed facing the center position of the object to be photographed, and the focus areas J of the first, second and

third cameras

20a, 20b and 20c respectively correspond to the first main area a1 of the first image P1, the second main area a2 of the second image P2 and the third main area A3 of the third image P3 photographed thereby.

Specifically, the focusing area of the camera 20 is J, and when the camera 20 shoots a subject to be shot to obtain a first image P1, a second image P2 and a third image P3, the area of the subject to be shot after shooting and imaging in the focusing area J corresponds to the first main area a1 of the first image P1, the second main area a2 of the second image P2 and the third main area A3 of the third image P3. In this embodiment, the first detector 51 detects that the object to be photographed presents the same color, that is, when the object to be photographed is a pure color, it is considered that the contrast of the object to be photographed is not high, and it is not easy to cause visual discomfort, and at this time, only the central area of the object to be photographed needs to be photographed, that is, the processor 30 controls the focusing area J of the camera 20 to photograph the central position of the object to be photographed, so that an image with high definition is easily obtained, and the focusing time is short, which is helpful for improving the photographing efficiency.

Referring to fig. 6(a) and fig. 7 together, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an image processing method according to a fifth embodiment of the present application. The fifth embodiment is substantially the same as the fourth embodiment, except that in this embodiment, when the first detector 51 detects that the object to be photographed presents text or pattern information, the processor 30 controls the first camera 20a, the second camera 20B and the third camera 20c to photograph the object to be photographed to obtain a fifth image P5, a sixth image P6 and a seventh image P7, respectively, each of the fifth image P5, the sixth image P6 and the seventh image P7 respectively includes a fifth main area a5 and a fifth auxiliary area B5, a sixth main area A6 and a sixth auxiliary area B6 and a seventh main area a7 and a seventh auxiliary area B7, and the fifth main area a5, the sixth main area A6 and the seventh main area a7 are spliced to obtain a fourth image P4, and the text or pattern information of the object to be photographed is photographed in the fifth main area a5, The sixth main region a6 and the seventh main region a 7.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, all of the fifth main region a5, the sixth main region a6, and the seventh main region a7 are stitched to obtain the fourth image P4, that is, the fourth image P4 includes all of the fifth main region a5, the sixth main region a6, and the seventh main region a 7. When the first detector 51 detects that the object to be shot presents character or pattern information, the character or pattern information has higher contrast, and in order to enable the shot image to have higher definition, in the technical scheme, the character or pattern information of the object to be shot is shot in the fifth main area a5, the sixth main area a6 and the seventh main area a7, so that the definition of the character or pattern information of the object to be shot can be improved, the integral definition of the object to be shot is improved, and a stereoscopic imaging effect is further achieved.

For example, when the object to be photographed includes the pattern information OPPO, in order to make the photographed pattern information OPPO have higher definition, the stereoscopic effect is exhibited, and therefore, the pattern information OPPO is photographed in the fifth main area a5, the sixth main area a6, and the seventh main area a7, that is, the pattern information OPPO is located in the focusing area of the photographing device 100, so that the definition of the pattern information OPPO can be improved, which is helpful for improving the definition of the whole object to be photographed, and further, the stereoscopic imaging effect is achieved.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a photographing device according to a sixth embodiment of the present application. The method of the sixth embodiment is substantially the same as the method of the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, the image capturing apparatus 100 further includes a second detector 52, the second detector 52 is configured to detect whether the object to be captured is a landscape or a person, when the second detector 52 detects that the object to be captured is a landscape, the processor 30 calls the camera 20 with a focusing range within a first focusing range to photograph the object to be captured, and when the second detector 52 detects that the object to be captured is a person, the processor 30 calls the camera with a focusing range within a second focusing range to photograph the object to be captured, wherein the first focusing range is larger than the second focusing range.

Specifically, when the second detector 52 detects that the object to be photographed is a landscape, a larger focusing range is generally required to obtain a larger viewing angle range, so that a larger switching of viewing angles can be realized, which is helpful for capturing a spectacular scene of the landscape. When the second detector 52 detects that the object to be photographed is a person, a smaller focusing range is generally required to make the outline of the person clearer, so that the detailed outline features of the person can be photographed, and the person can be more vivid. For example, when the photographing device 100 is used to photograph a landscape, the focusing range of the photographing device 100 is (500,1000), and when the photographing device 100 is used to photograph a person, the focusing range of the photographing device 100 is (100, 400).
