An image processing apparatus includes a low-resolution image generating circuit configured to generate a low-resolution image including a second pixel corresponding to first pixels based on an input image including the first pixels, and an edge preserving smoothing circuit configured to generate a reliability of the second pixel based on characteristics of values of the first pixels and perform edge preserving smoothing on the input image using a value of the second pixel of which a reflection ratio is adjusted, based on the reliability of the second pixel.

Image processing apparatus configured to perform edge preserving smoothing and image processing method thereof

Certain embodiments of the disclosure relate to electronic devices and methods for controlling the display of images each obtained by a respective one of cameras. To that end, an electronic device comprises a first camera having a first view angle, a second camera having a second view angle smaller than the first view angle, a display, and a processor configured to obtain a first image corresponding to an external object using the first camera and a second image corresponding to the external object using the second camera, control the display to display the first image, in response to a request to adjust a magnification of the displayed first image, when the magnification meets a designated first condition, control the display to display a first synthesized image obtained by synthesizing at least a portion of the first image with the second image resized to correspond to at least the portion of the first image, and when the magnification meets a designated second condition, control the display to display a second synthesized image obtained by synthesizing at least a portion of the second image with at least the portion of the first image. Other certain embodiments are also possible.
