Abstract: Proposed are schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods and systems pertaining to aiding and/or improving image acquisition from a vibratory personal care device having a camera. Embodiments propose identifying image data captured during a target part (e.g. low velocity/motion part) of the vibration cycle based on an edge quality value of the image data. Using the identified image data, an image of improved quality may then be constructed. Thus, through adaptation of image data acquisition according to edge quality of image data, improved images (e.g. images exhibiting less blur and/or distortion) may be constructed/generated.
