A device and method of obtaining a depth of a space are provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of images by photographing a periphery of a camera a plurality of times while sequentially rotating the camera by a preset angle, identifying a first feature region in a first image and an n-th feature region in an n-th image, the n-th feature region being identical with the first feature region, by comparing adjacent images between the first image and the n-th image from among the plurality of images, obtaining a base line value with respect to the first image and the n-th image, obtaining a disparity value between the first feature region and the n-th feature region, and determining a depth of the first feature region or the n-th feature region based on at least the base line value and the disparity value.

Device and method for acquiring depth of space by using camera

A method of controlling a wearable device worn on a finger of a user, includes: sensing a contact by a second finger of the user via an outer surface electrode located on an outer circumferential surface of the wearable device worn on a first finger of the user; based on the sensing of the contact, measuring an impedance between the outer surface electrode and an inner surface electrode that is in contact with the first finger of the user; identifying a type of the second finger based on the impedance; and controlling an operation of the wearable device based on the type of the second finger.

Wearable device and method for controlling same

An electronic device worn by a user includes a camera module capable of changing a photographing direction, a motion sensor configured to obtain motion information about the electronic device, an eye-tracking sensor configured to obtain gaze information about eyes of the user, a memory storing one or more instructions, and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions, wherein the processor is configured to, by executing the one or more instructions, determine the photographing direction based on the gaze information, determine photographing control information for changing the photographing direction of the camera module to obtain an image captured without shaking, based on the motion information, control the camera module to change the photographing, based on the determined photographing control information, and obtain the image captured by the camera module based on the changed photographing direction.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

A device and method of operating the device for automatically creating photos or videos of a certain moment are provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of image frames sequentially captured through a camera for a preset time interval; detecting at least one image frame among the plurality of image frames in which a main object corresponding to a preset main object or an action of the main object corresponding to a preset action is recognized; determining a type of composition of the at least one image frame; cropping a region including the main object from the at least one image frame based on placement of objects in the at least one image frame and the determined type of composition; and creating the photo using the cropped region.

Device for automatically capturing photo or video about specific moment, and operation method thereof

Provided are an HMD device and operating method thereof. The operating method of an HMD device includes displaying at least one object in a display area of a transparent display, obtaining an image of a hand of a user interacting with the displayed object; determining a direction in which the hand is facing based on the obtained image, and performing a function for the object corresponding the direction in which the hand is facing.

Head mounted display device and operating method thereof

An electronic apparatus obtains a panoramic image by overlapping partial areas of image frames and identifies an object from the panoramic image or an area of a predetermined shape of maximum size within the panoramic image.

Electronic apparatus and control method thereof for reducing image blur

An electronic apparatus may include a camera; a storage; a display; and a processor configured to: obtain a three dimensional (3D) coordinate corresponding to a face region of a user included in an image captured by the camera; obtain position adjustment information for adjusting an image capture position of the camera based on a difference between the 3D coordinate of the face region and a reference 3D coordinate stored in the storage; and control the display to provide a guide graphic user interface (GUI) for adjusting the image capture position of the camera based on the position adjustment information.

Electronic device and control method thereof

A biometric information detecting apparatus includes a bio-signal measurer including a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit, the light-emitting unit configured to emit an optical signal and the light-receiving unit configured to detect the optical signal that is modulated by a target object; a low-frequency signal obtainer configured to obtain a low-frequency signal from the bio-signal measured by the bio-signal measurer; and a signal processor configured to analyze biometric information from the bio-signal in response to determining that the low-frequency signal obtained from the bio-signal is within a reference range.
