In current smartphones, the number of cameras present is constantly increasing, especially on the back. The brands, by necessity or by ” fashion “, add photographic modules, each with a different purpose: wide-angle, depth, portrait, etc.
LG plans to revolutionize this sector again; probably, for the function that the company wants to recreate, the usual two, three, four cameras are few. LG has recently filed a patent on a possible smartphone with 16 photographic modules on the back.
The patent, identified by LetsGoDigital, shows a matrix of 16 cameras with different curves. These formations can be used to take pictures of an object from different angles, with the main purpose of producing a moving image captured through multiple lenses.
The patent also mentions the new effects to be made on the image. LG wants to give users the opportunity to apply some effects to photos; for example, replacing an object in a photo, cutting a part of a photo and replacing it with an image captured by the other lens, and others may come on time.
The image below shows how you can select the head of a teddy bear and rotate it without compromising the image, thanks to the details of the file on how to replace faces and capture 3D images.
