  • Publication number: 20140333818
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for composing a moving object in one image. The method includes: detecting one or more movement areas from one or more continuously input images; determining whether the detected one or more movement areas are usable for composing; storing location information of the one or more movement areas together with images corresponding to the detected one or more movement areas when the one or more movement areas are usable; generating a composite image by using images corresponding to the stored one or more movement areas and the location information of the one or more movement areas; and displaying the generated composite image on a preview screen area located in a display screen. The method reduces storage space required for image composing and rapidly composes in a smaller amount of processing time.
