Abstract:
A method for combining a plurality of images into a synthesis image and an electronic device implementing the same are provided. The image synthesis method of the present disclosure includes acquiring coordinates of an object in a source image; extracting a target image from the source image based on the coordinates such that the target image contains the object; and displaying the target image in a section of a frame mapped to the source image.
Abstract:
A mobile device user interface method activates a camera module to support a video chat function and acquires an image of a target object using the camera module. In response to detecting a face in the captured image, the facial image data is analyzed to identify an emotional characteristic of the face by identifying a facial feature and comparing the identified feature with a predetermined feature associated with an emotion. The identified emotional characteristic is compared with a corresponding emotional characteristic of previously acquired facial image data of the target object. In response to the comparison, an emotion indicative image is generated and the generated emotion indicative image is transmitted to a destination terminal used in the video chat.
Abstract:
A wearable electronic device may include a camera, a display, and at least one processor operatively connected, directly or indirectly, to the camera, and the display, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to identify a displayable area corresponding to an external display included in an image of a space acquired through the camera, identify, based on at least a portion of the external display being excluded from the displayable area due to movement of the external display, a first area of the displayable area, in which a portion of the external display is disposed and a second area of the displayable area, which corresponds to a remaining area excluding the first area, and control the display to display a virtual screen on the second area.
Abstract:
