Provided is an electronic device including a camera module configured to sense an object based on a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and generate stereo image data having a disparity based on at least two of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements sharing a micro lens, a memory configured to store at least one instruction and the stereo image data, and a processing circuit configured to execute the at least one instruction to detect an object of interest based on the stereo image data, and generate a crop signal for instructing the camera module to sense a region of interest including the object of interest; and generate depth information based on the stereo image data.

Electronic device for generating depth information of region of interest and operation method thereof

Disclosed is an electronic device configured to generate depth information. The electronic device includes: a memory storing one or more instructions and image data; and at least one processing circuit configured to generate the depth information on the image data by executing the one or more instructions, wherein the at least one processing circuit is further configured to obtain luminance data of the image data, generate absolute depth data for the luminance data by using a first artificial neural network configured to extract disparity features, and generate the depth information based on the absolute depth data.
