A method comprising: displaying a live view image on a screen; detecting a first gesture that is performed on the screen when the live view image is displayed; and displaying a thumbnail menu on the screen together with the live view image based on a duration of the first gesture.

Photographic apparatus, control method thereof, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

An image processing method includes: defining a selection area in a first still image according to a user input; extracting image data that correspond to the selected area from a second still image; combining the image data extracted from the second still image on the selection area of the first still image to create a composite image; and sequentially displaying the first still image and the composite image.

Method and apparatus for creating or storing resultant image which changes in selected area

A digital image processing method and apparatus eliminates or reduces the temporal delay associated a perspective transform being generated for a region of an captured image. The method includes: receiving a preview image; detecting at least one rectangular region from the preview image and obtaining coordinate information corresponding to the at least one rectangular region; determining a main rectangular region from among the at least one rectangular region detected from the preview image; capturing an image; and generating a perspective-transformed image by performing perspective transform on the captured image by using coordinate information corresponding to the main rectangular region.

Digital image processing method, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the digital image processing method, and digital image processing apparatus

A method for image processing is provided comprising: detecting a rectangular image region (RIR) in one of a plurality of images while the plurality of images is being received; obtaining a coordinate corresponding to the detected RIR; and storing in a memory the coordinate and a link associating the coordinate with the image in which the RIR is detected.

Method and apparatus for image processing

A digital photographing apparatus, computer readable medium, and a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus, the method including selecting a template image; receiving an image including a subject and detecting the subject from the received image; and displaying the template image with an image of the subject included in a view area. The displaying may include displaying the template image with an image of the subject included in a view area corresponding to a location of the detected subject. The method may include designating a location of the view area on the template image.

Digital photographing apparatus and method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus

A method and apparatus for processing an image are provided. A processor is configured to detect a region of at least one object from the image, define a plurality of straight lines approximating a boundary of the detected region of the at least one object, and based on the number of points at which each of the plurality of first straight lines coincide with the boundary, extract first image data for a polygonal region. The polygonal region has vertexes at a plurality of first intersection points at which the plurality of straight lines intersect each other. Second image data may be generated by correcting distortion of the first image data. A storage unit stores the second image data, which may also be displayed or transmitted.

Extracting and correcting image data of an object from an image

A method and apparatus for audio signal encoding for noise reduction are provided. The method includes: receiving an audio signal and performing modified discrete cosine transformation (MDCT) on the audio signal to convert the audio signal into a long block or a short block; reducing noise included in the audio signal in accordance with the long block or the short block; and performing advanced audio coding (AAC) on the long block or the short block in which noise is reduced.

Method and apparatus for audio encoding for noise reduction

An apparatus, computer readable medium, and a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus comprising a plurality of optical systems, the method including deriving shake information from the plurality of optical systems; and determining a base optical system from among the plurality of optical systems according to the shake information.

Digital photographing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and computer-readable storage medium

A method and apparatus update a composition database for storing information for setting a composition. The method includes extracting and displaying at least one composition stored in the composition database, counting a composition selected by a user from among the at least one composition, and updating the composition database according to the result of the count. According to the method, compositions selected by a user from among compositions displayed on a screen are counted, and the result of the count is reflected on the composition database. Accordingly, compositions are displayed in a user-centered manner and photographing convenience is increased, a digital photographing apparatus automatically learns compositions preferred by a user during photographing so as to automatically display the compositions preferred by the user, and a composition based on a pattern of the user is suggested instead of a composition according to a certain place or scene.

Method and apparatus for updating composition database by using composition pattern of user, and digital photographing apparatus

A digital photographing apparatus may perform a method of correcting hand shake to obtain images of high quality, in which hand shake is corrected completely, by correcting the hand shake using a plurality of successive images having different exposure times, and in particular, by determining whether a short exposure image will be obtained from a time period in which hand shake is weak or in a time period in which hand shake is strong according to photographing conditions.

Digital photographing apparatus that corrects hand shake, method of controlling the same, and recording medium storing the method

Provided are a digital photographing apparatus that is capable of displaying a slide show in which music and images are displayed in a harmonious manner to the user by replaying a plurality of image files according to an atmosphere created by the music by determining a replay order of the plurality of image files according to the music based on music information and image information, a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus, and a recording medium for recording the method.

Digital photographing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and recording medium for the method

A method for guiding a user with a suitable composition includes detecting scene information from an input image, recognizing a scene of the input image by using the detected scene information, extracting composition information corresponding to the recognized scene, and displaying the extracted composition information. Accordingly, an apparatus for guiding a user with a suitable composition and a digital photographing apparatus using the method displays a composition suitable for a current scene by automatically recognizing the current scene, so that the user photographs the current scene quickly and easily.
