1. An imaging operation guidance device, comprising:
- an image sensor that obtains a current image;
an attitude sensor that measures motion of the image sensor;
a memory that stores at least one previous image and an operation history for the image sensor; and
a controller that is communicatively coupled to the image sensor, the attitude sensor and the memory, wherein the controller;
stores measurements from the attitude sensor in the memory,identifies an object of interest that is located in the at least one previous image that is missing from the current image, anddetermines guidance instructions for obtaining a future image based on the operation history and the measurements from the attitude sensor, wherein the guidance instructions are determined to restore the object of interest to the future image.

Abstract
An imaging operation guidance device, comprises an imaging sensor that obtains images of an object and outputs image data relating to the object, a memory that stores the image data and an operation history for the image sensor, and a controller that determines guidance for a current image being obtained, based on difference between at least one previous image and the current image, in accordance with the operation history that has been stored in the memory.

12. An imaging operation guidance system, comprising:
-
an imaging device comprising a lens and an image sensor, the imaging device obtains a plurality of images, acquires image data relating to the plurality of images, and outputs the image data; an attitude sensor that measures motion of the imaging device; a memory that stores at least one previous image; and a processor communicatively coupled to the imaging device, wherein the processor; obtains a current image from the imaging device, stores an operation history for the imaging device and measurements from the attitude sensor in the memory, identifies that an object of interest that is located in the at least one previous image is missing from the current image, and determines guidance instructions for a future image based on the operation history and the measurements from the attitude sensor, wherein the guidance instructions are determined to restore the object of interest to the future image.

14. An imaging operation guidance device, comprising:
-
a display; an image sensor that obtains a previous image and a current image; an attitude sensor that measures motion of the image sensor; an image data memory that stores at least one previous image and a supplementary image; and a controller communicatively coupled to the display, the image sensor, the image data memory and the attitude sensor, wherein the controller; determines that an object of interest is visible in the previous image, on a condition that the object of interest is visible, stores the previous image as the supplementary image, stores measurements from the attitude sensor in the memory, identifies that the object of interest located in the at least one previous image is missing from the current image, and on a condition the object of interest is identified as missing, displays the supplementary image on the display and determines guidance instructions for a future image based on the measurements from the attitude sensor, wherein the guidance instructions are determined to restore the object of interest to the future image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. An imaging operation guidance method, comprising:
-
obtaining a previous image and a current image from an imaging device; determining that an object of interest is visible in the previous image; determining that the object of interest is visible, and storing the previous image as a supplementary image when the object of interest is determined to be visible; storing measurements from an attitude sensor that measures motion of the imaging device; identifying that the object of interest located in the at least one previous image is missing from the current image; and displaying the supplemental image on the display and determining guidance instructions for a future image based on the measurements from the attitude sensor when the object of interest is identified as missing from the current image, wherein the guidance instructions are determined to restore the object of interest to the future image.
