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

A display apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The method includes receiving image data, processing the image data, and dividing a display panel into a plurality of regions, synchronizing a scanning timing of the image data at which the processed image data is scanned in a first region among the plurality of regions with a backlight-on timing of the display panel, and outputting the processed image data in the display panel. The outputting the processed image data includes compensating and outputting the processed image data according to a relation between a scanning timing of the image data for each region of the plurality of regions of the display panel and the synchronized backlight-on timing.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

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 digital photographing apparatus includes: an imaging device that generates an image signal by capturing image light; a storage unit that stores a template including a background area and a composite area that indicates at least a part of an image according to the image signal; an image changing unit that changes orientations of the template and the image; an image composing unit that composes the image and the template of which orientations are changed; and a display unit that displays the composed image, wherein the image changing unit determines orientations to be changed of the template and the image according to a rotation amount of the imaging device with respect to an optical axis of the image light and an orientation in which an imaging surface of the imaging device faces. Accordingly, a user may naturally perform a self-photography function using a template.

Digital photographing apparatus and method of controlling the same

A photographing apparatus for synthesizing a plurality of continuously captured images is provided. The photographing apparatus includes a photographing unit that captures a plurality of images by continuously photographing an object; an input unit that receives a selection of a reference image from the plurality of captured images and a modification section in the reference image; a display unit that displays the reference image; a controller that, when the modification section is selected in the reference image and an image for replacing the modification section is determined, generates a mask image based on the modification section and generates a final image by synthesizing the reference image and the image for replacing the modification section using the mask image; and a storage unit that stores a data file including information of the mask image, the plurality of captured images, and the final image.

Photographing apparatus and method for synthesizing images

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 of controlling a photographing apparatus includes: recognizing a gesture in an input image as a previously defined gesture; if the gesture corresponds to a previously defined gesture for a zoom operation, performing the zoom operation using optical zoom; and while the zoom operation is being performed, continuing recognizing the gesture by taking into consideration the zoom operation.

Photographing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and computer-readable recording medium

Changing an orientation of a display of a digital photographing apparatus according to a movement of the apparatus

A subject detecting method and a subject detecting apparatus, by which face detection may be efficiently performed in a digital photographing apparatus having a flippable display unit, and when an image input via an image sensor of the digital photographing apparatus is different from an image displayed on the display unit due to rotation of the digital photographing apparatus, a face detection coordinate may be corrected to increase the reliability of face detection.

Subject detecting method and apparatus, and digital photographing apparatus

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.
