Abstract: The embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for switching between a macro and a non-macro sensing mode for capturing macro and non-macro media in real-time. A method for controlling an electronic device may include acquiring at least one frame; identifying an operation mode of the electronic device among a macro sensing mode and non-macro sensing mode based on at least one of focus data and blur data of the at least one frame; and acquiring at least one image by using an image sensor, from among a plurality of image sensors of the electronic device, corresponding to the operation mode.

Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device for generating a slow motion video includes obtaining plural image frames captured at a frame rate from a camera of the electronic device, detecting motion information in a first image frame from among the plural image frames, and performing an interpolation operation using one or more image frames from among the plural image frames. The one or more image frames are image frames obtained during a predetermined time after the first image frame in which the motion information is detected. A second image frame obtained before the first image frame in which the motion information is detected is discarded from the electronic device. A third image frame obtained after the predetermined time from the first image frame in which the motion information is detected is discarded from the electronic device.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses systems and methods for content enhancement using QCFA sensors of an electronic device. Embodiments herein include previewing contents in a field of view (FOV) of a first QCFA sensor, wherein the first QCFA sensor is operating in a first mode. Embodiments herein include detecting whether a zoom level of the contents previewed meets a first zoom-level criteria, and whether a light condition of the contents previewed meets a light criteria. Further, the first QCFA sensor may be configured to switch from a first mode to a second mode in order to enhance a resolution of the contents being previewed in the FOV of the first QCFA sensor in response to detecting that the zoom level of the contents previewed meets the first zoom-level criteria, and that the light condition of the contents previewed meets the light criteria.

Abstract: A method and a system for recording a Super Slow Motion (SSM) video in a portable electronic device are provided. A SSM video recording system detects presence of motion in the image frames captured by the image capturing device. Upon detecting the presence of motion, the SSM video recording system generates a trigger, subsequent to which, a first and fourth set of image frames for performing a frame skipping mechanism, and a second and third set of image frames for performing an interpolation mechanism are selected. The image frames of desired frame rate generated by performing the frame skipping mechanism and the interpolation mechanism are transmitted to an encoder in an order, for encoding and recording. The method and system allow SSM even in mid-tier and low-tier models of smartphones, without the need of expensive specialized image sensors.
