Abstract

See full text

A portable electronic device with 3D image capture capability and an image difference control method thereof are disclosed. The portable electronic device comprises a first and a second image capture module, a subject distance estimator and an image difference control mechanism. The first and second image capture modules are operative to capture a first image and a second image, respectively, to form a 3D image. Before image capturing, the subject distance estimator estimates a subject distance indicating how far a subject to be captured is, and the image difference control mechanism adjusts a distance between the first and second image capture modules based on the subject distance by moving at least one of the first and second image capture modules. In this manner, the image difference between the first and second images is properly controlled to perfectly form the 3D image.
