  • Patent number: 10321025
    Abstract: A device having a camera module, installed on the housing of the device such that the position of the camera module relative to the housing can be changed. One of the positions, an exposure position, involves optical elements which are oriented so as to be able to project light onto light-sensitive elements in order to produce an image on one or more sensors. A second position involves being flush against, and as close as possible to, the housing of the mobile device, by means of folding. The overall thickness of the camera module is structurally limited by the thickness of the thickest optical or light-sensitive element. The device contains structural elements for processing a digital representation of an image obtained from the light-sensitive elements. The camera module includes optical elements in the form of a set of thin lenses and/or mirrors, and one or a plurality of light-sensitive elements, namely sensors consisting of light-sensitive pixels.

  • Patent number: 8699814
    Abstract: A method for producing high-quality photographic images in low-light conditions and in the absence of large-aperture optics. The method includes, upon photographing, first obtaining a plurality of frames of the image with exposures which either partially overlap in time or with an insignificant pause between them. The best result can be obtained in the case when the pause between the exposures represents less than 1/20 of the overall exposure time. The method further includes separating out the initial images from a group of exposures and filtering the images having the smallest exposure interval using the images having the largest exposure interval. The final image is obtained by combining initial images having different exposure intervals from the same group.
