Abstract:
The present disclosure provides image capture devices and associated methods of operation that enable the interactive editing of imagery, including, for example, removal and/or addition of non-stationary objects from and/or to captured imagery. According to one example aspect of the present disclosure, an image capture device can capture a plurality of frames of imagery that depict a scene and, while capturing the plurality of frames of imagery, provide a composite image within a viewfinder of the image capture device, where non-stationary objects included in the scene are removed from the composite image. According to another example aspect of the present disclosure, the image capture device can allow a user to edit a final composite image directly within the viewfinder. Thus, the present disclosure provides systems and methods that enable enhanced capture and interactive editing of imagery.
