Face image correction using multiple camera angles
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting real-time moving images of an object captured by a camera in a mobile radio communication terminal, comprising:
- defining a first camera angle based on a first camera position of the camera relative to the object;
capturing a reference still image of said object from said first camera angle using the camera;
storing reference still image data relating to the reference still image of the object captured from the first camera angle in said mobile radio communication terminal;
moving the camera from the first camera position relative to the object to a second camera position relative to the object;
capturing real-time moving images of the object by means of the camera from a second camera angle based on the second camera position relative to the object, wherein the second camera angle is offset from the first camera angle;
storing moving image data relating to the captured real-time moving images in said mobile radio communication terminal; and
generating angularly adjusted moving images of the object in response to the moving image data and an angular relation between the first camera angle of the camera and the second camera angle of the camera, wherein the step of generating angularly adjusted moving images of the object is also dependent on the reference still image data, and wherein the step of generating angularly adjusted moving images comprises generating the angularly adjusted moving images in real time, and wherein the object captured by said camera is the face of a user using said mobile radio communication terminal.

Abstract
Methods for adjusting a picture of an object captured by a camera in a mobile radio communication terminal include defining a first camera angle relative to the object and capturing an image of the object by means of the camera from a second camera angle relative to the object. The second camera angle is offset from the first camera angle. The methods further include storing image data relating to the captured image, and generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to the image data and an angular relation between the first camera angle and the second camera angle. Corresponding mobile radio communication terminals are also disclosed. The terminals include an image processing system configured to process an image of an object captured by a camera from a second camera angle by generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to image data for the image, and in response to an angular relation between the second camera angle and a first camera angle.
