Abstract: An image capturing method including following steps is provided. A preview image is captured and compressed into a compressed preview image according to a preview quantization table. An image complexity is judged by determining the amount of high frequency components the preview image has according to a set of factors consisting of the preview quantization table, a resolution of the preview image and a size of the compressed preview image. The more the amount of high frequency components the preview image has, the higher the image complexity. A to-be-captured image is captured. An initial quantization table is determined according to a set of factors consisting of the image complexity, a resolution of the to-be-captured image and an image compression target. The to-be-captured image is compressed into an output image according to the initial quantization table.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a still image frame with anti-vibration clearness includes the following steps. Multiple raw image frames are captured during a capturing period according to a capturing instruction. The raw image frames are compressed respectively, according to a predetermined compression rule, into multiple compressed image frames each of which has a data length after such compression. The compressed image frames are stored according to a predetermined sequence. The data lengths of the compressed image frames stored are compared according to the predetermined sequence. The desired still image frame is obtained through the compressed image frame of which the data length has a unique feature among all the compressed image frames.

A location of the at least one pixel of the image is represented by an actual coordinate. Next, the apparatus proceeds the stray processing according to the actual coordinate and generates a virtual compensation parameter. Then, the apparatus adjusts the image data into adjusted image data according to the virtual compensation parameter. Finally, the apparatus displays the image according to the adjusted image data.

Abstract: A method of driving a solid-state imaging device to increase the dynamic range of a CCD image sensor is described. The imaging device has a plurality of light receiving members arranged in a matrix in horizontal and vertical directions. In addition, a plurality of columns of vertical CCD registers associate with the light-receiving members for storing signal charges received from a plurality of light receiving members. A row of horizontal CCD registers is disposed and connected with one end of each columns of vertical CCD registers to transfer the signal charges received from those vertical CCD registers to an output circuit member. The method comprises receiving the signal charges from an object by those light-receiving members for a time period Cs firstly in a normal fashion in BLANKING “high” period.
