Abstract: Methods and systems for determining frames and photo composition within multiple frames are provided. First, a plurality of frames, which are respectively captured with a predefined time interval are obtained. At least one object within at least two of the frames is detected. In some embodiments, a moving speed of the object is calculated according to the positions of the object in the respective frames and the predefined time interval, and candidate frames are selected from the frames according to the moving speed of the object. In some embodiments, an overlapped area corresponding to the object within a first frame and a second frame is calculated, and at least one candidate frame is selected according to the overlapped area corresponding to the object. The at least one candidate frame is composed to generate a composed photo.

Abstract: Image capture methods and systems with positioning and angling assistance are provided. A reference image having a first set of feature points is provided. A preview image is captured and analyzed using a feature detecting algorithm to obtain a second set of feature points. A variation is calculated according to the first set of the feature points corresponding to the reference image and the second set of the feature points corresponding to the preview image, and a present-marker is rendered on a display unit according to a preset position and the variation.

Abstract: Image processing methods and systems for handheld devices are provided. First, an image effect is determined. Then, a plurality of preview images is continuously captured by an image capture unit of an electronic device. After the respective preview image is captured, the image effect is applied to the preview image, and the preview image applied with the image effect is displayed in a display unit of the electronic device.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for operating a displayed area of an electronic map and a recording medium are provided. In the method, a displayed area of an electronic map is displayed first. Then, an indicating object of a point of interest (POI) located outside the displayed area is displayed on an edge of the displayed area towards a direction of the POI with respect to the displayed area. When the indicating object of the POI is selected, the displayed area of the electronic map is changed to the displayed area comprising the POI. Accordingly, users are able to quickly change the displayed area and check a location and related information of each POI in a simple operation manner.
