Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling an operation of a camera that allows a user to conveniently control a camera apparatus according to a gesture of a subject input through a lens of a camera, and the camera apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving an image input through a camera lens; generating an image frame; detecting a motion of a subject included in the image frame by comparing the image frame with at least one previous frame stored before the image frame is generated; determining whether the motion of the subject is a User Interface (UI) gesture; and performing, if the motion is the UI gesture, an operation corresponding to the UI gesture.

Abstract: An object in a first image is segmented by obtaining the first image including the object; receiving a first input signal including first information about a first position in the first image; selecting at least one pixel included in the first image, based on the first information about the first position; generating a second image by dividing the first image into several areas, using the selected at least one pixel; and segmenting the object in the first image by using the first image and the second image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for segmenting an object in an image. The method includes obtaining a first image including the object; receiving an input signal including information about a predetermined position in the first image; selecting at least one pixel included in the first image, based on the position information; generating a second image by dividing the first image into several areas, using the selected at least one pixel; and segmenting the object in the first image by using the first image and the second image.
