Various embodiments provide an electronic device and a method, the electronic device comprising a communication module, a memory, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: recognize at least one object from among one or more objects by using an image containing the one or more objects; identify a recognition rate and a category corresponding to the at least one object at least on the basis of the recognition; obtain at least one reference image corresponding to the object at least on the basis of the category; when the recognition rate satisfies a first specified condition associated with the recognition rate corresponding to the category, correct the at least one object or an area corresponding to the at least one object by using a reference image, which satisfies the first specified condition, from among the at least one reference image; and when the recognition rate satisfies a second specified condition associated with the recognition rate corresponding to the category, correct the at least one object or the area corresponding to the at least one object by using a reference image selected in accordance with an input from among the at least one reference image. In addition, other embodiments are also possible.
