An electronic device and method for providing a virtual object are disclosed, including a processor and memory storing program instructions executable by the processor to implement the method, which includes receiving a request for a virtual object including a plurality of present conditions, searching a database for the virtual object by comparing the received plurality of present conditions to a plurality of condition sets, each set associated with at least one virtual object stored in the database; and when none of the plurality of condition sets matches all of the received plurality of present conditions, detecting a partially matching condition set matching at least one of the received plurality of present conditions and providing a partially matching virtual object corresponding to the partially matching condition set.

Method for providing virtual object and electronic device therefor

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for providing information by an electronic device comprises recognizing at least one object from an image displayed on a screen of the electronic device, displaying at least one primary information item associated with the recognized object, and when at least one of the at least one primary information item is selected, displaying a secondary information item associated with the selected primary information item on the screen. Other various embodiments are also provided herein.

Method and electronic device for providing information

An apparatus for tracking a location of a wireless terminal based on an image is provided. The apparatus includes an image matching database to store images classified by regions, and a matcher to receive a query image captured by a camera module of the wireless terminal and image matching data that contains region information about where the query image is captured, to search the image matching database for a matching image that corresponds to the image matching data, to determine if the query image matches the matching image, and to send the wireless terminal location information that corresponds to the matching information if the query image matches the matching image.

Apparatus and method of tracking location of wireless terminal based on image

An apparatus and a method for implementing augmented reality by using a transparent display are provided. The method includes calculating a point-of-view of a user based on a face image captured by a front camera, detecting an image of an area depending on an angle of view identical to a viewing angle of the user based on the calculated point-of-view of the user, implementing the augmented reality by using the detected image, and outputting the implemented augmented reality to the transparent display.

Apparatus and method for implementing augmented reality by using transparent display

An apparatus and a method for providing a three Dimensional (3D) map showing an area of interest in real time are disclosed. The method includes receiving terminal view information of a plurality of terminals, determining an object of interest on a 3D map based on the received terminal view information; and reconfiguring a 3D map including the object of interest. Position information on an area receiving a lot attention from the public, path information by which the user moves to the area, and a preview image of the area in real time may be provided.

Apparatus and method for providing 3D map showing area of interest in real time

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory configured to store a plurality of digital images and a processor, wherein the processor tracks movement of an object recognized in the plurality of digital images, and the processor detects an amount of movement between the plurality of digital images, and selects one among a plurality of object tracking methods based on at least a part of the amount of the movement.

Electronic device and method of operating electronic device

An electronic device for fast object recognition is provided. The electronic device includes a first storage unit configured to store digital image data, and a processor configured to recognize an object in first image data, to receive a second object related to the first object in the first image data from a second storage unit, to store the first and second objects in the first storage unit, and to use one or more of the first and second objects stored in the first storage unit to recognize an object in second image data.

Electronic device and object recognition method in electronic device

A terminal for generating an augmented reality and a method thereof are provided. The terminal includes a camera property information providing server configured to store camera property information associated with one or more cameras, and the terminal is configured to receive, from the camera property information providing server, camera property information associated with a camera included in the terminal and generate an augmented reality based on the stored camera property information when an augmented reality-based application is driven and thus, may provide an augmented reality in which a virtual object is accurately matched to an image.

Terminal for generating augmented reality and method thereof

A method for operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a plurality of feature points in at least a partial region in a digital image, selecting at least two feature points from the detected plurality of feature points, determining whether there is a probability that an object existing in at least one of a plurality of reference images exists in the digital image, by using at least a portion of the at least two feature points, and determining a pose of the object after the probability that the object exists in the digital image is determined.

Electronic device, electronic device operating method, and computer readable recording medium recording the method

A method for providing navigation information, a machine-readable storage medium, a mobile terminal and a server are provided. The method includes generating a preview image captured by a camera and location information of the mobile terminal; transmitting the preview image and location information to a server, receiving, from the server, route guide information generated based on the preview image and the location information, and displaying the route guide information to a user.
