Patent number: 9204047Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program is provided. The apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one memory storing a computer program including computer program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause at least the following to be performed: determining at least one area of interest in a scene imaged by an image sensor; initiating capture of a image, including the at least one area of interest, by causing the image sensor to be exposed to light conveyed by an optical arrangement; detecting movement of the apparatus during capture of the image; and controlling movement of at least one of: the image sensor and the optical arrangement, in dependence upon the detected movement of the apparatus and the at least one area of interest, in order to mitigate the perspective error, at the at least one area of interest, in the image being captured.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventor: Juha Heikki Alakarhu

Publication number: 20140320602Abstract: In accordance with various example embodiments, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided. A method comprises receiving a panchromatic image of a scene captured from a panchromatic image sensor, receiving a colour image of the scene captured from a colour image sensor, and generating a modified image of the scene based at least in part on processing the panchromatic image and the colour image. The apparatus comprises at least one processor and at least one memory, configured to, cause the apparatus to perform receiving a panchromatic image of a scene captured from a panchromatic image sensor, receiving a colour image of the scene captured from a colour image sensor, and generating a modified image of the scene based at least in part on processing the panchromatic image and the colour image.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2012Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: Krishna Annasagar Govindarao, Juha Heikki Alakarhu

Patent number: 8836814Abstract: Digital camera or device with a digital camera unit is controlled in a process in which light spectrum power distribution is detected by a detector that has a plurality of narrow-band photo-electric sensors at locations spaced apart on an image capture unit of a digital camera unit. Each sensor has a given sensitive bandwidth within the frequency range of visible light. The number of the sensitive bandwidths is N that is greater than 3. A signal indicative of the light spectrum power distribution as detected by the detector is produced.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Juha Heikki Alakarhu
