Abstract: A thermal image generating apparatus for generating a thermal image regarding a target object is provided. The apparatus includes a memory configured to store a first thermal image, a first sensor, configured to measure a temperature of the target object, a second sensor configured to measure a distance to the target object, a third sensor configured to detect a movement of the thermal image generating apparatus, and a controller configured to generate a second thermal image based on temperature information received from the first sensor, distance information received from the second sensor, and movement information received from the third sensor, and generate a third thermal image based on the first thermal image and the second thermal image.

Abstract: A method of controlling a photographing apparatus including a main processor and an image processor is provided. The method includes transmitting, by the image processor to the main processor, transmission data that includes preview image data of an image photographed through a photographing module and, if image data that is parallel-processed with the preview image data exists, the image data; extracting, by the main processor, the preview image data from the transmission data; displaying the extracted preview image data on a display portion of the photographing apparatus; and if the image data is included in the transmission data, storing, by the main processor, the image data in a memory.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus requiring a short initialization time, and a method thereof are provided. The photographing apparatus includes a camera part for converting an optical image converged through a lens into an electric signal, and processing the electric signal into an image signal, a first memory for temporarily storing the image signal generated at the camera part, a second memory for storing the image signal stored in the first memory, and a signal processing part for temporarily storing the image signal to the first memory during initialization of the second memory, and upon completion of the initialization of the second memory, storing the image signal stored in the first memory to the second memory. As a result, initialization time of the photographing apparatus is shortened.
