  • Patent number: 11978223
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device configured to generate depth information. The electronic device includes: a memory storing one or more instructions and image data; and at least one processing circuit configured to generate the depth information on the image data by executing the one or more instructions, wherein the at least one processing circuit is further configured to obtain luminance data of the image data, generate absolute depth data for the luminance data by using a first artificial neural network configured to extract disparity features, and generate the depth information based on the absolute depth data.

  • Patent number: 11683466
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a display; a first camera module having a first field of view (FoV) and generating first image data; a second camera module having a second FoV that is less than the first FoV and generating second image data; and an application processor configured to obtain zoom information including a zoom ratio and a region of interest (ROI) determined based on a user's input, to generate converted image data by scaling an image area corresponding to the ROI with respect to image data corresponding to the zoom ratio from among the first image data and the second image data, and to control the display to display the converted image data.

  • Publication number: 20220360712
    Abstract: An imaging device includes a lens module configured to receive an optical signal, an image sensor configured to generate image data based on the received optical signal, a tilting module configured to adjust a position of the image sensor, and a processor configured to control the tilting module based on the image data. The processor is further configured to recognize a target object from the image data and control the tilting module in response to comparing a location of the target object with reference location information including object location information.

  • Publication number: 20220279127
    Abstract: An image signal processor may be configured to process an image based on simultaneously performing auto zoom and auto focus. An image signal processor may be configured to receive a first image from an image sensor may include processing circuitry configured to determine auto focus information on an object in the first image using a depth map, set a first area based on calculating a first outer point and a second outer point associated with the object using the depth map, set a second area based on a particular ratio that is determined based on the first outer point and the second outer point, and determine auto zoom information based on calculating a zoom ratio corresponding to a size of the second area.
