A method and apparatus for controlling an operation of a camera that allows a user to conveniently control a camera apparatus according to a gesture of a subject input through a lens of a camera, and the camera apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving an image input through a camera lens; generating an image frame; detecting a motion of a subject included in the image frame by comparing the image frame with at least one previous frame stored before the image frame is generated; determining whether the motion of the subject is a User Interface (UI) gesture; and performing, if the motion is the UI gesture, an operation corresponding to the UI gesture.

Method of controlling an operation of a camera apparatus and a camera apparatus

Provided are virtual space moving apparatus and method. A virtual space moving apparatus includes a 3D camera to capture real space; a display; and a processor to display a virtual space, implement a virtual object corresponding to an actual object in an actual space, and display virtual object at a specific position in virtual space, set a first detection area adjacent to an initial position of actual object and a second detection area spaced from initial position of actual object and surrounding first detection area, when actual object is moved by a first distance in first detection area outwards from initial position, move virtual object by first virtual movement distance, and when actual object is moved by first distance in second detection area outwards from a boundary between first detection area and second detection area, move virtual object by a second virtual movement distance greater than first virtual movement distance.

Virtual space moving apparatus and method

An object in a first image is segmented by obtaining the first image including the object; receiving a first input signal including first information about a first position in the first image; selecting at least one pixel included in the first image, based on the first information about the first position; generating a second image by dividing the first image into several areas, using the selected at least one pixel; and segmenting the object in the first image by using the first image and the second image.

Method and apparatus for segmenting object in image

A camera apparatus and method enabling a user to conveniently control an operation of the camera apparatus according to a gesture of a subject for photography input through a lens of a camera, and a method of controlling the camera apparatus are provided. The method includes generating a current frame by receiving an image input through a camera; comparing the current frame and one or more previous frames stored before the current frame and detecting a gesture of a subject for photography included in the current frame and the one or more previous frames; determining whether the gesture is a gesture UI; and when the gesture is the gesture UI, executing an operation corresponding to the gesture UI.

Camera apparatus and control method thereof

A method and apparatus are provided for segmenting an object in an image. The method includes obtaining a first image including the object; receiving an input signal including information about a predetermined position in the first image; selecting at least one pixel included in the first image, based on the position information; generating a second image by dividing the first image into several areas, using the selected at least one pixel; and segmenting the object in the first image by using the first image and the second image.

A method of recognizing a location of a user including detecting the user's two eyes and mouth of their face is provided, which includes calculating a ratio of a distance between the two eyes to a distance between a middle point of the two eyes and the mouth, calculating a rotation angle of the face according to the ratio, and detecting a distance between the face and the camera based on the rotation angle.
