DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMAGE CAPTURE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H04N5/232 

FIELD: image processing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to scene image capture and, in particular, to image capture providing three-dimensional scene representation. An image capture device contains capture unit (101) for scene image capture. Tracking device (103) dynamically determines positions of the capture unit, and position processor (105) determines the current position of capture unit (101) relatively to a set of required capture positions. The position may include location and orientation of capture unit (101). Display controller (107) is connected to position processor (105) and is made with the possibility of control of a display for provision of indication of the current capture position, wherein indication of the current capture position includes indication of location of the current position of capture unit (101) relatively to the set of required capture positions in a direction from an image plane of capture unit (101). In some implementation options, the set of required capture positions can be adaptively updated in accordance with data captured for a scene.

EFFECT: provision of a system for scene image capture with reduced requirements to resources of data storage, distribution, and processing.
