拼接多個全景分段影像之前，處理器150會確認影像擷取器120的可翻轉角度範圍，接著根據可翻轉角度範圍估算一全景影像的拼接長度上限。在一實施例中，當電子裝置100操作於全景影像模式下，影像擷取器120擷取全景分段影像的同時處理器150會將影像擷取器120所擷取到的全景分段影像進行拼接，當被拼接的全景分段影像的總長度到達全景影像的拼接長度上限時，處理器150會於一段等待時間長度後停止全景影像模式，此等待時間長度不固定，會根據影像擷取器120的可翻轉角度範圍及馬達馬達 組件140的轉動效能而變動。 Before splicing multiple panoramic segmented images, the processor 150 confirms the reversible angle range of the image capturer 120, and then estimates the upper limit of the splicing length of a panoramic image based on the reversible angle range. In one embodiment, when the electronic device 100 is operating in the panoramic image mode, the image capturer 120 captures the panoramic segmented image while the processor 150 performs the panoramic segmentation image captured by the image capturer 120 Splicing. When the total length of the panoramic segmented images to be spliced reaches the upper limit of the splicing length of the panoramic image, the processor 150 will stop the panoramic image mode after a period of waiting time. The length of the waiting time is not fixed and will be determined by the image capture device. 120 reversible angle range and motor The rotation efficiency of the component 140 varies.

在一實施例中，處理器150會預估馬達組件140將影像擷取器120由0°轉到180°所需的一預估翻轉總時間長度(例如：10.5秒)，而馬達組件140實際將影像擷取器120由0°轉到180°所花費的時間長度為一實際翻轉總時間長度(例如為9秒)，則當被拼接的全景分段影像的總長度到達全景影像的拼接長度上限時，處理器150會等待1.5秒(即，等待時間長度為1.5秒)後停止全景影像模式，即等待時間長度為預估翻轉總時間長度與實際翻轉總時間長度之間的差值絕對值。在一實施例中，預估翻轉總時間長度為同類型的馬達組件140將影像擷取器120由0°轉到180°所需總時間長度的平均加上一緩衝時間長度。 In one embodiment, the processor 150 estimates an estimated total turning time (for example, 10.5 seconds) required for the motor assembly 140 to turn the image capturer 120 from 0° to 180°, and the motor assembly 140 actually The length of time it takes for the image capturer 120 to turn from 0° to 180° is the total length of the actual flipping time (for example, 9 seconds), when the total length of the stitched panoramic segmented image reaches the stitching length of the panoramic image When the upper limit is reached, the processor 150 will wait for 1.5 seconds (ie, the waiting time length is 1.5 seconds) before stopping the panoramic image mode, that is, the waiting time length is the absolute value of the difference between the estimated total flip time length and the actual total flip time length . In one embodiment, the estimated total turning time length is the average of the total time required for the motor assembly 140 of the same type to turn the image capturer 120 from 0° to 180° plus a buffer time length.

在一實施例中，影像擷取器120的可翻轉角度範圍為0°~180°，當影像擷取器120的翻轉角度已達可翻轉角度範圍的上限(例如：翻轉角度已達180°)時，處理器150停止全景影像模式。在一實施例中，當影像擷取器120的翻轉角度已達可翻轉角度範圍的上限，即使當時所拼接的全景分段影像的總長度未到達全景影像的拼接長度上限，處理器150亦停止全景影像模式。 In one embodiment, the flip angle range of the image capturer 120 is 0°~180°, when the flip angle of the image capture device 120 has reached the upper limit of the flip angle range (for example, the flip angle has reached 180°) When the time, the processor 150 stops the panoramic image mode. In one embodiment, when the flip angle of the image capture device 120 has reached the upper limit of the range of the flipped angle, the processor 150 will stop even if the total length of the panoramic segmented images to be stitched does not reach the upper limit of the stitching length of the panoramic image. Panoramic image mode.

在拼接過程中，馬達組件140採用低定速轉動方式來定速翻轉影像擷取器120。影像擷取器120在翻轉的同時連續擷取全景分段影像，處理器150在透過ArcSoft Library演算法拼接所擷取到的全景分段影像。 During the splicing process, the motor assembly 140 uses a low constant speed rotation method to flip the image capturer 120 at a constant speed. The image capturer 120 continuously captures the panoramic segmented images while turning over, and the processor 150 splices the captured panoramic segmented images through the ArcSoft Library algorithm.

於一實施例中，電子裝置100操作於全景影像 模式時，若處理器150判斷相鄰的全景分段影像間的影像內容差異大於一誤差條件，則處理器150停止全景影像模式。在一實施例中，當相鄰的全景分段影像中的顏色、物體或場景之差異大於誤差條件，此時處理器150停止全景影像模式。例如，全景分段影像200b的影像內容已經偏離影像中線，造成全景分段影像200b的影像內容與全景分段影像200a的影像內容差異過大，則處理器150提前停止全景影像模式。 In one embodiment, the electronic device 100 operates on a panoramic image In the mode, if the processor 150 determines that the difference in image content between adjacent panoramic segmented images is greater than an error condition, the processor 150 stops the panoramic image mode. In one embodiment, when the difference of colors, objects, or scenes in adjacent panoramic segmented images is greater than the error condition, the processor 150 stops the panoramic image mode at this time. For example, if the image content of the panoramic segmented image 200b has deviated from the center line of the image, resulting in an excessive difference between the image content of the panoramic segmented image 200b and the panoramic segmented image 200a, the processor 150 stops the panoramic image mode in advance.

綜上所述，本揭露的電子裝置會根據不同使用情境判斷是否要轉動影像擷取器，以避免影像擷取器因為頻繁轉動而減少使用壽命，並在確定要使用影像擷取器的情況下才轉動影像擷取器，大幅降低錯誤的使用情況，改善使用者的使用體驗。 In summary, the electronic device disclosed in the present disclosure will determine whether to rotate the image capture device according to different usage scenarios, so as to prevent the image capture device from reducing its service life due to frequent rotation, and when it is determined to use the image capture device Only then rotate the image capture device, which greatly reduces the use of errors and improves the user experience.
