Abstract:
A method of controlling an image analysis apparatus is provided. The method includes receiving a query image; determining at least one main color distributed in the query image and a specific main color from among the at least one main color by using color information contained in the query image; dividing the query image into at least one block having a predetermined number of pixels; and determining whether each of the at least one block includes more than a predetermined percentage of a main color for comparison among the at least main color, and creating a binary spatial distribution map by digitizing the at least one block.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for photographing a panoramic image including the steps of recognizing movement of a corresponding photographing apparatus by comparing a current real-time input image with a previous image through a motion estimation mechanism with exposure compensation, determining a time to photograph each next picture by determining whether movement in a photography direction reaches a preset threshold value, and photographing each next picture by manual or automatic operation at the determined time.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for compensating for a defective pixel of a display. The method includes identifying at least one of a plurality of pixels of a display as a defective pixel and compensating for a function of the defective pixel by using at least one pixel from a first pixel group located in a first partial region corresponding to the defective pixel and a second pixel group located in a second partial region located adjacent to the first partial region among a plurality of partial regions, each partial region comprising some adjacent pixels among the plurality of pixels.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for performing spherical panorama shooting in an electronic device are provided. The method includes, displaying, if it is determined that the electronic device is positioned in an outdoor environment, a first summary guide corresponding to the outdoor environment, and displaying, if it is determined that the electronic device is positioned in an indoor environment, a second summary guide corresponding to the indoor environment. The first summary guide and the second summary guide are graphic User Interfaces (UI) for informing a spherical panorama shooting progress, and the second summary guide has a number of image shootings that are required for generating a spherical panoramic image, different from the number of image shootings in a case where the first summary guide is displayed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for photographing a panoramic image. The method includes comparing an current image input with a previous image to obtain a motion information of a corresponding photographing apparatus, when photographing respective images forming the panoramic image, recognizing a degree of movement of the corresponding photographing apparatus at least based on the obtained motion information, and photographing corresponding image by a manual input or automatically when the recognized degree of movement is satisfied with a pre-set movement distance reference.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for display of a screen according to brightness intensity of ambient light. One or more characteristic values configuring display data is set to be higher than a preset color characteristic value when measured brightness intensity of ambient light is higher than preset brightness intensity of ambient light, and one of the set color characteristic values is converted to a contrast characteristic value and is displayed. Therefore, even when brightness intensity of ambient light is high, the user can accurately view a screen.
Abstract:
A method for capturing an image with audio data includes recording and storing audio data, capturing an image on request, and matching and storing the recorded audio data with the captured image, thereby allowing a user to more lively record an audio signal when an image is captured. An apparatus for capturing an image with audio data includes a camera unit configured to capture an image, an audio data recording unit configured to record audio data, and a controller configured to store an image captured by the camera unit, and match and store audio data recorded by the audio data recording unit for a predetermined period of time after the camera unit captured the image.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for displaying a portrait on a display by a portable terminal. It is determined whether an image is a character-photographed image. If the image is the character-photographed image, face detection is executed from the image. A character area in the image is set based on a result of the face detection. The character area is enlarged and displayed in a form of a new window.
Abstract:
An image processing device and method for an image processing device to compress, for each line, an image frame formed of a plurality of lines are provided. The method includes predicting an image quality of each line forming a single image frame, independently determining a compression rate of each line so as to obtain the image quality predicted for each line, and compressing an image data of a predetermined line of the single image frame by using a compression rate independently determined for the predetermined line.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and a method for generating an image including multiple people, in which images are photographed, face images are detected from each of the photographed images, a face score for each of the face images detected from the photographed images is calculated, it is determined whether each of the face scores calculated for each of the face images is at least equal to a predetermined threshold, and each of face images having a highest face score for each of the face images is synthesized, to output the synthesized image as a final image, in order to generate a most satisfactory photographed image for a user.
