Patent ID: 8159544

Claim:
A method for adjusting photographing settings of a digital camera through motion detection, applied in a digital camera for photographing a digital image, so as to determine to adjust the photographing settings of the digital camera according to shakes of the digital camera or a photographed object, comprising: capturing two continuous pre-photographed images, and defining the two images as a first pre-photographed image and a second pre-photographed image; setting a central area at the same position on the first pre-photographed image and the second pre-photographed image respectively, wherein the central area further comprises a plurality of first image blocks; setting an edge area at the same position on the first pre-photographed image and the second pre-photographed image respectively, wherein the edge area further comprise a plurality of second image blocks, and the central area and the edge area do not superpose each other; finding a plurality of feature points according to the first image blocks and the second image blocks; establishing a corresponding local motion vector from the first pre-photographed image and the second pre-photographed image according to each of the feature points; establishing a camera motion vector by performing a similarity calculation program on the local motion vectors selected in the edge area; generating a subject motion vector according to a difference between the local motion vector and the camera motion vector; and adjusting photosensitivity when the digital image is photographed according to a maximum value in the subject motion vector and the camera motion vector.
