影像記錄方法與可攜式電子裝置Image recording method and portable electronic device

本發明是有關於一種電子裝置與其操作方法,且特別是有關於一種可產生混合影像的可攜式電子裝置與其操作方法。The present invention relates to an electronic device and a method of operating the same, and more particularly to a portable electronic device capable of generating a mixed image and a method of operating the same.

在現今資訊爆炸的時代裡,人類生活已經離不開電子通訊,人與人之間經常運用電子通訊裝置來互相傳遞訊息已經是相當普遍,尤其是可以隨身攜帶的可攜式電子裝置,例如行動電話或具有無線通訊功能之電子裝置。In today's era of information explosion, human life is inseparable from electronic communication. It is quite common to use electronic communication devices to transmit messages to each other, especially portable electronic devices that can be carried around, such as mobile phones. A telephone or an electronic device with wireless communication capabilities.

在行動通訊技術日益發達的今日,可攜式電子裝置的功能仍不斷地推陳出新。除了收聽廣播等功能以外,目前有許多可攜式電子裝置更發展出具有照相功能,故當使用者想要照相留念時,可利用具有照相或錄影功能之可攜式電子裝置來拍攝數位影像。然而,一般具有照相或是錄影功能的可攜式電子裝置都是將拍照和錄影功能的分開,因此在拍照時,僅能產生靜態照片,而在錄影時,僅能產生動態影片。雖然靜態照片具有較高的解析度與較好的畫質,但是容易在拍照時因延遲按下快門而錯失精采瞬間,同時也無法捕捉快門瞬間外的現場狀況。另一方面,錄影雖然可以將現場動態以連續畫面記錄下來,但是使用者在瀏覽時需花費比較多的時間,而在動態影片中擷取單一影像框的結果,其解析度與畫質也不如靜態照片。Today, mobile communication technology is increasingly developed, and the functions of portable electronic devices are constantly being introduced. In addition to listening to broadcast and other functions, many portable electronic devices have been developed with camera functions, so when users want to take pictures, they can take digital images with portable electronic devices with camera or video functions. However, a portable electronic device generally having a camera or video function separates the photographing and recording functions, so that only a still photo can be generated when photographing, and only a dynamic movie can be generated when recording. Although still photos have higher resolution and better image quality, it is easy to miss the brilliant moment when the shutter is pressed due to delay, and it is impossible to capture the scene outside the shutter moment. On the other hand, although the video can record the live dynamics as a continuous screen, the user spends more time browsing, and the result of capturing a single image frame in the dynamic movie is not as good as the resolution and quality. Static photo.

為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.

圖1A繪示根據本發明一實施例的一種可攜式電子裝置的簡圖。圖2繪示根據本發明一實施例的一種影像記錄方法流程簡圖。請參照圖1A,於本實施例中,本發明的可攜式電子裝置100,其包括影像記錄模組104以及控制單元106。其中可攜式電子裝置100例如是個人數位助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、PDA手機、智慧型手機、觸控式手機、數位相機或是數位攝錄像機。FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an image recording method according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1A , in the embodiment, the portable electronic device 100 of the present invention includes an image recording module 104 and a control unit 106 . The portable electronic device 100 is, for example, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a PDA mobile phone, a smart phone, a touch mobile phone, a digital camera, or a digital video camera.

請參照圖1A與圖2,於步驟S201中,影像記錄模組104紀錄至少一拍攝時體的混合影像。其中,上述混合影像包括拍攝時體的至少一動態影像與一靜態影像,且動態影像包含複數個影像框,並具有依固定框速率。Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2, in step S201, the image recording module 104 records at least one mixed image of the shooting body. The mixed image includes at least one moving image and a still image of the shooting body, and the moving image includes a plurality of image frames and has a fixed frame rate.

於一實施例中,當接收到一影像記錄啟動訊號,而影 像記錄模組104根據此接收到的影像記錄啟動訊號,啟動錄影模式,開始記錄拍攝實體的第一動態影像。其中第一動態影像包含複數個第一影像框(請參照圖3與圖4中,混合影像300/400的第一動態影像302/402中的第一影像框302a/402a)。再此所述以及後續將提到的固定框速率是指在錄影拍攝實體成為動態影像時,在對拍攝實體錄影的整個時間區段中,以均勻的速度持續產生組成動態影像的複數個影像框。以時間流的觀念進一步解釋,固定框速率即是指組成動態影像的影像框均勻的分布在產生動態影像的整個錄影時間區段中。In an embodiment, when an image recording start signal is received, the image is captured. The recording module 104 starts the recording mode according to the received image recording, starts the recording mode, and starts recording the first moving image of the shooting entity. The first motion image includes a plurality of first image frames (please refer to the first image frames 302a/402a in the first motion image 302/402 of the hybrid image 300/400 in FIGS. 3 and 4). The fixed frame rate mentioned later and mentioned later refers to the continuous generation of a plurality of image frames constituting the dynamic image at a uniform speed during the entire time period of recording the physical entity when the video recording entity becomes a motion image. . Further explained by the concept of time flow, the fixed frame rate means that the image frames constituting the dynamic image are evenly distributed in the entire recording time section in which the dynamic image is generated.

之後,接收一影像擷取訊號,根據此影像擷取訊號,影像記錄模組104由錄影模式切換至影像擷取模式,以擷取拍攝實體的一靜態影像(如圖3與圖4中,靜態影像304/404)。值得注意的是,由於影像記錄從錄影模式切換至影像擷取模式,並在影像擷取模式下截取拍攝實體的靜態影像,因此所產生的靜態影像比第一動態影像以及後續所產生的動態影像具有較高的影像解析度。After receiving an image capture signal, the image recording module 104 switches from the recording mode to the image capturing mode to capture a still image of the shooting entity (as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, statically). Image 304/404). It is worth noting that since the image recording is switched from the recording mode to the image capturing mode, and the still image of the shooting entity is captured in the image capturing mode, the generated still image is more than the first moving image and the subsequent generated moving image. Has a high degree of image resolution.

接著,於擷取拍攝實體的靜態影像之後,影像記錄模組104由影像擷取模式切換至錄影模式,以繼續記錄拍攝實體成具有一第二固定框速率的一第二動態影像。其中第二動態影像包含複數個第二影像框(請參照圖3與圖4中,混合影像300/400的第二動態影像306/406中的第一影像框306a/406a)。Then, after capturing the still image of the shooting entity, the image recording module 104 switches from the image capturing mode to the recording mode to continue recording the shooting entity to a second moving image having a second fixed frame rate. The second motion image includes a plurality of second image frames (please refer to the first image frames 306a/406a of the second motion images 306/406 of the hybrid image 300/400 in FIGS. 3 and 4).

更進一步,影像記錄模組104在是根據所接收到的影 像擷取訊號在錄影模式與影像擷取模式之間進行切換,以對於拍攝實體產生包括靜態影像、產生靜態影像之前的一第一動態影像與產生靜態影像之後的一第二動態影像的一混合影像(請參照圖3與圖4中的混合影像300/400)。換句話說,影像記錄模組104在訊號接收模組102接收到影像擷取訊號之前,對於拍攝實體錄影產生第一動態影像,直到訊號接收模組102接收到影像擷取訊號時,影像記錄模組104由錄影模式切換至影像擷取模式,並於影像擷取模式之下,擷取拍攝實體的靜態影像,更於產生靜態影像之後,自動由影像擷取模式切換至錄影模式,並於錄影模式下,繼續對拍攝實體產生第二動態影像。Further, the image recording module 104 is based on the received image Switching between the video mode and the image capturing mode, such as capturing a signal, to generate a mixture of a still image, a first motion image before generating the still image, and a second motion image after the static image is generated for the shooting entity Image (please refer to the mixed image 300/400 in Figure 3 and Figure 4). In other words, before the signal receiving module 102 receives the image capturing signal, the image recording module 104 generates a first motion image for the shooting entity video until the signal receiving module 102 receives the image capturing signal. The group 104 is switched from the recording mode to the image capturing mode, and in the image capturing mode, the still image of the shooting entity is captured, and after the static image is generated, the image capturing mode is automatically switched to the recording mode, and the video is recorded. In the mode, the second motion image is continuously generated for the shooting entity.

繼之,請參照圖1與圖2,於步驟S215中,控制單元106經由取樣混合影像中的動態影像的影像框,壓縮混合影像,以使動態影像原本的固定框速率更改成為一變動框速率。其中,控制單元106例如是一處理器。Then, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in step S215, the control unit 106 compresses the mixed image by sampling the image frame of the motion image in the mixed image, so that the original fixed frame rate of the motion image is changed to a variable frame rate. . The control unit 106 is, for example, a processor.

於一實施例中,控制單元106調整混合影像的資訊擷取量,藉由取樣第一影像框與/或第二影像框而壓縮混合影像(請參照圖3與圖4中的混合影像300/400),以改變第一固定框速率成為一第一變動框速率,以及/或改變該第二固定框速率成為一第二變動框速率。In an embodiment, the control unit 106 adjusts the information capture amount of the mixed image, and compresses the mixed image by sampling the first image frame and/or the second image frame (refer to the mixed image 300/ in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4). 400), changing the first fixed frame rate to a first change frame rate, and/or changing the second fixed frame rate to become a second change frame rate.

圖1B繪示根據本發明一實施例的一種可攜式電子裝置中的控制單元的簡圖。圖3繪示根據本發明一實施例的混合影像壓縮示意圖。請參照圖1B與圖3,於本實施例中,控制單元106包括時間為基礎取樣模組106a,其根據 靜態影像的影像擷取時間點,取樣動態影像的影像框,使取樣後的動態影像的變動框速率的所取樣框數隨著越接近影像擷取時間點而越多。也就是越接近影像擷取時間點,則變動框速率漸增,例如變動框速率由15~20影像框/秒漸增至30影相框/秒。FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of a control unit in a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of hybrid image compression according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1B and FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the control unit 106 includes a time-based sampling module 106a, which is The image capturing time point of the still image is taken, and the image frame of the moving image is sampled, so that the number of sampling frames of the moving frame rate of the sampled moving image increases as the closer to the image capturing time point. That is, the closer to the image capturing time point, the increasing frame rate is gradually increased, for example, the frame rate is gradually increased from 15 to 20 frames per second to 30 frames per second.

於一實施例中,取樣第一影像框與/或第二影像框以壓縮混合影像的方法則例如是時間為基礎取樣模組106a根據接收影像擷取訊號的一影像擷取時間點(也就是產生靜態影像304的一影像擷取時間點),取樣第一動態影像302的第一影像框302a與/或第二動態影像306的第二影像框306a(步驟S301),以改變第一動態影像302的固定框速率成為越接近影像擷取時間點(也就是產生混合影像的時間流中,靜態影像304的產生時間位置)則取樣框數越多的第一變動框速率(也就是漸增框速率),並/或改變使第二動態影像306的固定框速率成為越遠離影像擷取時間點(也就是產生混合影像的時間流中,靜態影像304的產生時間位置)則取樣框數越少的第二變動框速率(亦即漸減框速率)。In one embodiment, the method of sampling the first image frame and/or the second image frame to compress the mixed image is, for example, a time-based sampling module 106a captures an image based on the image received by the image (ie, Generating an image capture time point of the still image 304, sampling the first image frame 302a of the first motion image 302 and/or the second image frame 306a of the second motion image 306 (step S301) to change the first motion image. The fixed frame rate of 302 becomes closer to the image capturing time point (that is, the time position of the static image 304 in the time stream in which the mixed image is generated), and the first frame rate of the sampling frame is increased (that is, the increasing frame) Rate), and/or change so that the fixed frame rate of the second motion image 306 becomes farther away from the image capturing time point (that is, the time position of the static image 304 in the time stream in which the mixed image is generated), the fewer the number of sampling frames The second change box rate (ie, the decreasing frame rate).

請參照圖3,在控制單元106壓縮混合影像300之前,不論是第一動態影像302或是第二動態影像306,在產生混合影像的時間流中,第一影像框302a與第二影像框306a在產生靜態影像304的時間位置前後均勻分布。然而,控制單元壓縮混合影像300(步驟S301)後,壓縮後的混合影像300a中,取樣後第一動態影像302’中的所取樣的第一影像框302’a越接近影像擷取時間點(如箭頭308所示,也 就是產生混合影像的時間流中,靜態影像304的產生時間位置)則取樣框數越多(也就是單位時間點上的所取樣的影像框數越多)。另一方面,壓縮後的混合影像300a中,取樣後第二動態影像306’中的所取樣的第二影像框306’a越遠離影像擷取時間點(如箭頭310所示,也就是產生混合影像的時間流中,靜態影像304的產生時間位置)則取樣框數越少(也就是單位時間點上的所取樣的影像框數越少)。Referring to FIG. 3, before the control unit 106 compresses the mixed image 300, whether it is the first motion image 302 or the second motion image 306, in the time stream in which the mixed image is generated, the first image frame 302a and the second image frame 306a It is evenly distributed before and after the time position at which the still image 304 is generated. However, after the control unit compresses the mixed image 300 (step S301), in the compressed mixed image 300a, the sampled first image frame 302'a in the first dynamic image 302' after sampling is closer to the image capturing time point ( As indicated by arrow 308, That is, in the time stream in which the mixed image is generated, the generation time position of the still image 304) is the number of sampling frames (that is, the number of image frames sampled at a unit time point). On the other hand, in the compressed mixed image 300a, the sampled second image frame 306'a in the second moving image 306' after sampling is farther away from the image capturing time point (as indicated by the arrow 310, that is, the mixing is generated). In the time stream of the image, the time position of the still image 304 is generated, and the number of sampling frames is smaller (that is, the number of image frames sampled at a unit time point is smaller).

圖1C繪示根據本發明另一實施例的一種可攜式電子裝置中的控制單元的簡圖。圖4繪示根據本發明又一實施例的混合影像壓縮示意圖。於另一實施例中,控制單元106包括分析模組106b與動態變化為基礎取樣模組106c。分析模組106b分析動態影像至少其中之一中拍攝實體的動態變化速率。而動態變化為基礎取樣模組106c根據拍攝實體的動態變化速率取樣動態影像中的影像框,以改變動態影像的固定框速率為與動態變化速率成正比的變動框速率。FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram of a control unit in a portable electronic device according to another embodiment of the invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of hybrid image compression according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In another embodiment, the control unit 106 includes an analysis module 106b and a dynamic change to the basic sampling module 106c. The analysis module 106b analyzes the rate of dynamic change of the photographing entity in at least one of the motion images. The dynamic change-based sampling module 106c samples the image frame in the dynamic image according to the dynamic rate of change of the shooting entity, so as to change the fixed frame rate of the dynamic image to a variable frame rate proportional to the dynamic change rate.

於一實施例中,取樣第一影像框與第二影像框以壓縮混合影像的方法則例如是分析模組106b分析第一動態影像402中拍攝實體的第一動態變化速率與/或第二動態影像406中拍攝實體的第二動態變化速率。也就是分析模組106b分析拍攝實體在第一影像框402a之間的動態變化速率與/或在第二影像框406b之間的動態變化速率,其中動態變化速率例如是拍攝實體上的光影變化速率、拍攝實體的位移速度與變換姿勢的速度等。In one embodiment, the method of sampling the first image frame and the second image frame to compress the mixed image is, for example, the analysis module 106b analyzing the first dynamic change rate and/or the second dynamic of the captured entity in the first dynamic image 402. The second dynamic rate of change of the captured entity in the image 406. That is, the analysis module 106b analyzes the rate of dynamic change of the shooting entity between the first image frame 402a and/or the rate of dynamic change between the second image frame 406b, wherein the dynamic rate of change is, for example, the rate of change of light and shadow on the shooting entity. , shooting the displacement speed of the entity and the speed of changing the posture.

之後,動態變化為基礎取樣模組106c,根據第一動態變化速率與第二動態變化速率,以改變第一固定框速率成為與第一動態變化速率成正比的第一變動框速率,並/或改變第二固定框速率成為與第二動態變化速率成正比的第二變動框速率。Thereafter, the dynamic change is the basic sampling module 106c, according to the first dynamic change rate and the second dynamic change rate, to change the first fixed frame rate to be the first change frame rate proportional to the first dynamic change rate, and/or The second fixed frame rate is changed to a second variable frame rate that is proportional to the second dynamic rate of change.

請參照圖4,在控制單元106壓縮混合影像400之前,不論是第一動態影像402或是第二動態影像406,在產生混合影像的時間流中,第一影像框402a與第二影像框406a在產生靜態影像404的時間位置前後均勻分布。然而,控制單元壓縮混合影像400(步驟S215)後,壓縮後的混合影像400a中,取樣後第一動態影像402’中位於時間區塊408與410的所取樣的第一影像框402’a以及取樣後第二動態影像406’中位於時間區塊412的所取樣第二影像框406’a,由於在時間區塊408、410與412中拍攝實體的變動速率比較大,則上述時間區塊408、410與412中影像框的取樣框數量較多(也就是單位時間點上的所取樣的影像框數越多,亦即時間區段408、410與412中第一影像框402’a與第二影像框406’a的變動框速率較大)。Referring to FIG. 4, before the control unit 106 compresses the mixed image 400, whether it is the first motion image 402 or the second motion image 406, in the time stream in which the mixed image is generated, the first image frame 402a and the second image frame 406a It is evenly distributed before and after the time position at which the still image 404 is generated. However, after the control unit compresses the mixed image 400 (step S215), in the compressed mixed image 400a, the sampled first image frame 402'a located in the time blocks 408 and 410 in the first dynamic image 402' after sampling and The sampled second image frame 406'a of the second motion picture 406' after the sampling is located in the time block 412. Since the rate of change of the shooting entity in the time blocks 408, 410, and 412 is relatively large, the time block 408 is The number of sampling frames of the image frame in 410, 412 is large (that is, the more the number of image frames sampled at a unit time point, that is, the first image frame 402'a and the first time frame 408, 410, and 412 The frame rate of the two image frames 406'a is larger.

另一方面,壓縮後的混合影像400a中,取樣後第一動態影像402’中位於時間區塊408與410以外的所取樣的第一影像框402’a以及取樣後第二動態影像406’中位於時間區塊412以外的所取樣第二影像框406’a,由於在時間區塊408、410與412中拍攝實體的變動速率比較小,則上述時間區塊408、410與412中影像框的取樣框數量較少(也 就是單位時間點上的所取樣的影像框數越少,亦即時間區段408、410與412以外的第一影像框402’a與第二影像框406’a的變動框速率較小)。On the other hand, in the compressed mixed image 400a, the sampled first motion image 402' is located in the sampled first image frame 402'a and the sampled second motion image 406' other than the time blocks 408 and 410. The sampled second image frame 406'a located outside of the time block 412, because the rate of change of the captured entities in the time blocks 408, 410, and 412 is relatively small, the image blocks in the time blocks 408, 410, and 412 Small number of sampling frames (also That is, the smaller the number of image frames sampled at a unit time point, that is, the frame rate of the first image frame 402'a and the second image frame 406'a other than the time segments 408, 410, and 412 are smaller.

於上述實施例中,本發明的影像記錄方法所產生的混合影像包含一靜態影像與產生此靜態影像前與/或後的動態影像。然本發明並不受限於此,也就是本發明的混合影像可以是由數段動態影像與數張靜態影像所組成。In the above embodiment, the hybrid image generated by the image recording method of the present invention includes a still image and a motion image before and/or after the static image is generated. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the mixed image of the present invention may be composed of a plurality of moving images and a plurality of still images.

圖5繪示根據本發明另一實施例的一種影像記錄方法流程簡圖。請參照圖1與圖5,於本實施例的步驟S501中,影像記錄模組104連續記錄至少一拍攝實體為一混合影像。圖6繪示根據本發明再一實施例的混合影像示意圖。請參照圖6,混合影像600包含複數個動態影像以及複數個靜態影像,而靜態影像分別穿插於動態影像之間。於圖6的實施例中,僅顯示三個動態影像602、604與606以及其間的兩個靜態影像608與610,然而本發明並不受限於此,也就是只要符合每一靜態影像產生前、產生後或產生前後均有一動態影像的條件,本發明的混合影像可包含三個以上的動態影像與兩個以上的靜態影像。此外,每一動態影像(例如圖6中的動態影像602、604與606)包含複數個影像框602a、604a與606a,並具有一固定框速率。FIG. 5 is a schematic flow chart of an image recording method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, in step S501 of the embodiment, the image recording module 104 continuously records at least one shooting entity as a mixed image. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a mixed image according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the mixed image 600 includes a plurality of moving images and a plurality of still images, and the still images are interspersed between the moving images. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, only three motion images 602, 604, and 606 and two still images 608 and 610 are displayed. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, as long as each static image is generated. The mixed image of the present invention may include more than three moving images and two or more still images, after a condition of generating a moving image after or after the generation. In addition, each motion image (eg, motion images 602, 604, and 606 in FIG. 6) includes a plurality of image frames 602a, 604a, and 606a and has a fixed frame rate.

值得注意的是,在本發明之一實施例中,上述連續記錄拍攝實體以產生混合影像的方法例如是在一錄影模式下記錄拍攝實體的動態影像。當於記錄拍攝實體的動態影像期間依序接收複數個影像擷取訊號時,於接收每一影像擷 取訊號同時,影像記錄模組104由錄影模式切換至影像擷取模式,並在此影像擷取模式之下,擷取拍攝實體的靜態影像。而在擷取該至少一拍攝實體的該靜態影像之後,影像記錄模組104由影像擷取模式切換至錄影模式,以在兩兩該影像擷取訊號之間,於此錄影模式下,持續記錄拍攝實體的動態影像。It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method for continuously recording a shooting entity to generate a mixed image is, for example, recording a moving image of a shooting entity in a recording mode. When receiving a plurality of image capturing signals sequentially during recording of the moving image of the shooting entity, each image is received 撷 At the same time, the image recording module 104 switches from the recording mode to the image capturing mode, and in this image capturing mode, captures a still image of the shooting entity. After capturing the still image of the at least one shooting entity, the image recording module 104 switches from the image capturing mode to the recording mode to continuously record between the two image capturing signals in the recording mode. Take a picture of the moving image of the entity.

之後,於步驟S505中,控制單元106壓縮混合影像600,使每一動態影像的固定框速率成為一變動框速率。Thereafter, in step S505, the control unit 106 compresses the mixed image 600 so that the fixed frame rate of each moving image becomes a variable frame rate.

上述壓縮該混合影像的步驟例如前述於圖3所顯示的實施例所描述,也就是以控制單元106的時間為基礎取樣模組106a(圖1B)取樣動態影像602、604與606的影像框602a、604a與606a(如圖6的步驟S601),以改變動態影像602、604與606的固定框速率成為越接近相鄰靜態影像608與610則一取樣框數越多,而越遠離相鄰靜態影像608與610則該取樣框數越少的該變動框速率。其中變動框速率介於15~30影相框/秒。The step of compressing the mixed image is described, for example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, that is, the image frame 602a of the sampling module 106a (FIG. 1B) sampling the motion images 602, 604 and 606 based on the time of the control unit 106. 604a and 606a (step S601 of FIG. 6), to change the fixed frame rate of the dynamic images 602, 604, and 606 to be closer to the adjacent still images 608 and 610, the more the number of sampling frames is, the farther away from the adjacent static The images 608 and 610 have the same frame rate as the number of sampling frames. The change box rate is between 15~30 photo frames/second.

另外,於另一實施例中,上述壓縮混合影像的步驟例如前述於圖4所顯示的實施例所描述,也就是以控制單元106的分析模組106b分析每一動態影像中拍攝實體的動態變化速率。之後,動態變化為基礎取樣模組106c根據每一動態影像602、604與606中拍攝實體的動態變化速率,取樣動態影像602、604與606的影像框602a、604a與606a,以改變每一該些動態影像的該固定框速率成為與該動態變化速率成正比的該變動框速率。In another embodiment, the step of compressing the mixed image is described in the foregoing embodiment shown in FIG. 4, that is, the analysis module 106b of the control unit 106 analyzes the dynamic change of the shooting entity in each motion image. rate. Thereafter, the dynamic change-based sampling module 106c samples the image frames 602a, 604a, and 606a of the dynamic images 602, 604, and 606 according to the dynamic rate of change of the captured entities in each of the dynamic images 602, 604, and 606 to change each of the images. The fixed frame rate of the dynamic images becomes the variable frame rate proportional to the rate of dynamic change.

綜上所述,本發明在影像擷取模式下擷取拍攝實物的靜態影像,並且在擷取靜態影像之前與之後持續記錄拍攝實體的動態影像,因此所產生的混合影像不但可以提供影像解析度較高的靜態影像,亦同時可提供擷取靜態影像瞬間的前後的珍貴動態影像,以提供使用者更多拍攝當時的珍貴回憶。此外,藉由根據不同取樣需求(例如越靠近靜態影像發生時間點,影像框的取樣量越大,越遠離靜態影像發生時間點,影像框的取樣量越小。例如取樣結果的動態影像的變動框速率與拍攝實體於動態影像中的動態變化速率成正比)取樣混合影像的動態影像的影像框來壓縮混合影像,可大幅節省儲存混合影像所需的儲存空間,並且可以縮短使用者瀏覽混合影像所需的時間。In summary, the present invention captures a still image of a real object in the image capturing mode, and continuously records the moving image of the shooting entity before and after capturing the still image, so that the generated mixed image can provide image resolution. The higher static image also provides precious dynamic images before and after capturing the static image, so as to provide users with more precious memories at that time. In addition, according to different sampling requirements (for example, the closer to the static image generation time point, the larger the sampling amount of the image frame, the farther away from the static image generation time point, the smaller the sampling amount of the image frame. For example, the dynamic image change of the sampling result The frame rate is proportional to the dynamic rate of change of the shooting entity in the motion image. The image frame of the motion image of the mixed image is sampled to compress the mixed image, which can greatly save the storage space required for storing the mixed image, and can shorten the user's browsing of the mixed image. The time required.
