System and method for supporting photography with different effects
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for supporting photography, comprising:
- acquiring a target in an image view based on one or more images that are captured by an imaging device associated with a carrier;
obtaining characterization information of the target as indicated in said one or more images;
determining a moving path having at least two sections for tracking the target with the imaging device;
determining a corresponding speed for each section of the moving path;
directing the carrier to move the imaging device, at the corresponding speeds, along each of the at least two sections of the moving path to track the target based on the obtained characterization information of the target; and
capturing one or more images using the imaging device along the moving path based on a time-dependent configuration of the imaging device.

Abstract
System and method can support photography. A controller can configure a carrier to move an imaging device along a moving path. Furthermore, the controller can apply a time-dependent configuration on the imaging device, and use the imaging device for capturing a set of image frames along the moving path based on the one or more time-dependent parameters.

18. A system for supporting photography, comprising:
-
one or more microprocessors; and a controller running on the one or more microprocessors, wherein the controller operates to; acquire a target in an image view based on one or more images that are captured by an imaging device associated with a carrier; obtain characterization information of the target as indicated in said one or more images; determine a moving path having at least two sections for tracking the target with the imaging device; determine a corresponding speed for each section of the moving path; direct the carrier to move the imaging device, at the corresponding speeds, along each of the at least two sections of the moving path to track the target based on the obtained characterization information of the target; and capture one or more images using the imaging device along the moving path based on a time-dependent configuration of the imaging device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a processor, perform the steps comprising:
-
acquiring a target in an image view based on one or more images that are captured by an imaging device associated with a carrier; obtaining characterization information of the target as indicated in said one or more images; determining a moving path having at least two sections for tracking the target with the imaging device; determining a corresponding speed for each section of the moving path; directing the carrier to move the imaging device, at the corresponding speeds, along each of the at least two sections of the moving path to track the target based on the obtained characterization information of the target; and capturing one or more images using the imaging device along the moving path based on a time-dependent configuration of the imaging device.

36. A system for supporting photography, comprising:
-
an imaging device, which is associated with an carrier; and a control device, wherein the control device operates to; acquire a target in an image view based on one or more images that are captured by an imaging device associated with a carrier; obtain characterization information of the target as indicated in said one or more images; determine a moving path having at least two sections for tracking the target with the imaging device; determine a corresponding speed for each section of the moving path; direct the carrier to move the imaging device, at the corresponding speeds, along each of the at least two sections of the moving path to track the target based on the obtained characterization information of the target; and capture one or more images using the imaging device along the moving path based on a time-dependent configuration of the imaging device.
