Abstract: Provided is a method of generating a three-dimensional (3D) avatar from a two-dimensional (2D) image. The method may include obtaining a 2D image by capturing a face of a person, detecting a landmark of the face in the obtained 2D image, generating a first mesh model by modeling a 3D geometrical structure of the face based on the detected landmark, extracting face texture information from the obtained 2D image, determining a second mesh model to be blended with the first mesh model in response to a user input, wherein the first mesh model and the second mesh model have the same mesh topology, generating a 3D avatar by blending the first mesh model and the second mesh model, and applying, to the 3D avatar, a visual expression corresponding to the extracted face texture information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for generating an image using multi-stickers. The method for generating an image according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: displaying a subject photographed by a camera; applying the selected stickers or effects to the subject being displayed when a plurality of stickers or effects are selected among previously provided stickers or effects by a multi-sticker function; and generating an image of the subject to which the selected stickers or effects are applied, according to a photographic command.

Abstract: A method and device for correcting facial contours is disclosed. The method for correcting facial contours according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step of displaying a subject captured by a camera; a step of selecting, based on user input, one of a plurality of facial contours for correcting facial contours of an object included in the subject; a step of using any one selected facial contour to correct the facial contours of the object in real time, and; a step of, upon receiving a capture command through user input, generating an image of the subject, including the object having the corrected facial contours.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are an image generation method and apparatus having a location information-based geo-sticker. The image generation method includes displaying a subject to be captured by a camera by executing a camera application on a user device, acquiring information about a location of the user device and determining whether the location of the user device based on the acquired location information is present in a predetermined area, if it is determined that the location of the user device is present in the predetermined area, receiving geo-items including at least one of a sticker and an effect corresponding to information about the predetermined area from a server; and when an image including the subject is captured using any one item included in the received geo-items, generating an image to which the one item is applied.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for generating an image in which a sound source is inserted. The method for generating an image in which a sound source is inserted includes displaying a subject, an image of which is captured using a camera, selecting a sound source, inserting the selected sound source as a background sound source of an image being captured when the image including the subject is captured, and generating an image in which the selected sound source is inserted as the background sound source.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for operating a camera device using a user interface. The method for operating a camera device using a user interface includes determining whether an image-capture mode is a still image-capture mode or a video-capture mode, based on a capture input of a user made on a user interface, acquiring a video in a single session in a form of multiple video clips based on the capture input of the user when the image-capture mode is the video-capture mode, generating multiple screen blocks from the multiple video clips, and displaying the multiple video clips using the multiple screen blocks while the image-capture mode is active.

Abstract: Provided is a method of generating a moving photograph, which includes displaying a subject photographed by a camera; switching to a moving photograph mode in response to an input of a user; progressively taking photographs of the displayed subject by using a photographing mode provided by the moving photograph mode; and generating a moving image of the displayed subject by using the progressively taken photographs.
