Samsung patents camera tech that stitches frames to track moving objects

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung describes a method for electronic devices to create wider video recordings by tracking how a subject moves across multiple frames. The system stitches these frames together into a larger image and fills in missing visual data to ensure the moving object remains visible in the final video.

Why it mattersThis could improve how phones capture fast-moving subjects without requiring the user to physically pan the camera, potentially making video recording more stable and comprehensive.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device includes a display, a memory and a processor. The memory includes instructions for causing the processor to, when generating a video, receive a video signal including an object to obtain a plurality of frame images having a first size, estimate a movement trajectory of the object included in the plurality of frame images, stitch together frame images in which overlapping portions of the video signal are arranged to overlap according to the movement trajectory of the object to generate a stitched image having a second size larger than the first size; and store the generated stitched image and the plurality of frame images as a video file.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: a display; a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor, wherein the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to: receive a video signal including a subject; based on receiving the video signal, obtain a plurality of frame images, each frame image of the plurality of frame images having a first size; estimate a movement trajectory of the subject included in the plurality of frame images; stitch together the frame images for generating a stitched image in which overlapping portions of the frame images are arranged to overlap according to the movement trajectory of the subject, the stitched image having a second size larger than the first size and including a frame area having pixel data corresponding to the arranged overlapping portions of the frame images and a blank area in which no image signal is received; fill pixel data of the blank area based on the pixel data of the frame area; store the stitched image and the frame images as a video file; and display the stitched image when playing the video file.
