  • Publication number: 20240040234
    Abstract: An electronic device receives a shooting input while displaying a preview image based on at least a portion of images obtained through a camera having a first field-of-view (FoV). The electronic device obtains a video of the first FoV through the camera, in response to the shooting input. The electronic device identifies a visual object included in the preview image, while obtaining the video. The electronic device displays the preview image, based on a second FoV that includes the visual object, and is included in the first FoV, in response to an input indicating selection of the visual object. The electronic device obtains meta data indicating reproduction of the video based on the second FoV corresponding to the input, among the first FoV and the second FoV, where the meta data is associated with the video obtained based on the first FoV.

  • Patent number: 7925058
    Abstract: An iris recognition system includes an eye image input unit calculating the distance between an image obtaining apparatus and a user using a distance sensor. An eye image pretreatment unit calculates a fuzzy entropy for the multifocus eye image sequence input. A feature vector extraction unit multi-divides the multifocus iris image sequence extracted in the eye image pretreatment unit. A recognition unit discriminates the user's authenticity by measuring a dissimilarity between the feature vector extracted from the feature vector extraction unit and a feature vector already registered. A register unit registers the reduced wavelet feature vector extracted from the feature vector extraction unit and the dimension-reducing transform function P in a storage unit. A storage unit stores the dimension-reducing transform function P and the reduced wavelet feature vector.
