An operation method of an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting motion objects in each of two or more continuously captured images, determining whether the detected motion objects are synthesizable for use as wallpaper, and providing feedback according to whether the detected motion objects are synthesizable for use as wallpaper.

Electronic device and method for synthesizing continuously taken images

A photographing method is provided. The photographing method includes photographing, by an electronic device, a plurality of images through a photographing module functionally connected to the electronic device, providing a photographing guide associated with a validity of at least one photographed image during the photographing of the plurality of images, and generating a single image using the at least one photographed image.

Photographing method and electronic device

A method and apparatus for improving quality of an enlarged image are provided. The apparatus includes first and second image input units for outputting first and second images which are obtained by capturing the same subject at different positions spaced apart by a predetermined gap, a first image processor for converting a resolution of the first image to a preview resolution, a display for displaying the first image from the first image processor, a second image processor for, when an area to be enlarged in the displayed first image is selected, cropping an area corresponding to the selected area from the second image, and a controller for controlling the display to display the cropped area on the first image in an overlaying manner. Consequently, a user may view a high-magnification image cropped from a high-definition image and an original image together.

Apparatus and method for improving quality of enlarged image

Disclosed is a camera apparatus capable of tracking a target object based on motion of a camera sensed by a motion sensor and a method for tracking an object in the camera apparatus are provided. The method includes obtaining, by a electronic device including a first sensor and a second sensor, one or more images corresponding to at least one object using the first sensor, by displaying the one or more images via a display operatively coupled with the electronic device, obtaining motion data corresponding to movement of at least part of the electronic device identified in relation with obtaining the one or more images, tracking, from a corresponding displayed image of the one or more images, a position corresponding to the at least one object based at least in part on the motion data, and presenting, via the display, at least one portion of information with respect to the position corresponding to the at least one object.

Camera apparatus and method for tracking object in the camera apparatus

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for generating a photograph image. The method includes: measuring an illumination value, acquiring a plurality of source images used to generate one final image, generating a set final image either by selecting one source image with best quality among the plurality of acquired source images, or by combining the plurality of acquired source images, based on the measured illumination value. The present disclosure allows to acquire a clear and bright photograph image in a low-light environment.

Method and apparatus for generating photograph image

A camera apparatus capable of tracking a target object based on motion of a camera sensed by a motion sensor and a method for tracking an object in the camera apparatus are provided. The method includes, if input image data is inputted, sensing motion of a camera which captures the input image data, generating camera motion data corresponding to motion of the camera, estimating a pose or motion of the camera based on the camera motion data, and tracking translation of a target object based on at least one of the estimated pose or motion of the camera and the input image data.

An apparatus and method of recognizing an object by using a camera includes detecting feature information from a first preview image; comparing the feature information with a threshold condition; changing a camera setting parameter, when the feature information does not satisfy the threshold condition; and performing an object recognition for a second preview image generated based on the changed camera setting parameter.

Camera apparatus and method of recognizing an object by using a camera

Disclosed is a method for auto-focus control of a digital camera, the method including moving a focus lens of the digital camera to a position for a longest-distance photographing, and then extracting an edge value according to a corresponding position while moving the focus lens by a preset interval in a direction toward an image sensor; estimating a form of a preset function based on the extracted edge values, and calculating a maximum value of the estimated function; calculating a difference between a maximum value of the preset function calculated at a first current position of the focus lens and a maximum value of the preset function calculated at a previous position of the focus lens; and moving the focus lens to a position corresponding to a currently-calculated maximum value of the preset function when the difference between the maximum value of the preset function calculated at the first current position of the focus lens and the maximum value of the preset function calculated at the previous position of the focus lens is less than or equal to a preset threshold value.
