  • Electronic device for controlling a viewing angle of at least one lens and control method thereof
    Patent number: 10334174
    Abstract: An electronic device may include: at least one lens; an image sensor that generates an image; and a first processor that determines a location of the at least one lens when an auto-focusing mode is executed. The electronic device also has a second processor configured to, when the location of the at least one lens is changed from a first location to a second location, change a size of a second image frame, which has a second viewing angle larger than a first viewing angle of a first image frame generated at the first location, among frames in the image, to a size corresponding to the first viewing angle.
    Type: Grant

  • Wide dynamic range hardware apparatus and photographing apparatus including the same
    Patent number: 8285134
    Abstract: A wide dynamic range (WDR) hardware apparatus and a photographing apparatus including the WDR hardware apparatus are provided where the WDR unit applies weight coefficients to a luminance signal of a small size image having a first exposure time and a luminance signal of a small size image having a second exposure time longer than the first exposure time. The system combines the luminance signals applied weight coefficients, applies weight coefficients to a luminance signal of an original size image having the first exposure time and a luminance signal of an original size image having the second exposure time, and combines the luminance signals applied weight coefficients.
