The method includes: receiving a preview image; detecting at least one rectangular region from the preview image and obtaining coordinate information corresponding to the at least one rectangular region; determining a main rectangular region from among the at least one rectangular region detected from the preview image; capturing an image; and generating a perspective-transformed image by performing perspective transform on the captured image by using coordinate information corresponding to the main rectangular region.

Abstract: A method for image processing is provided comprising: detecting a rectangular image region (RIR) in one of a plurality of images while the plurality of images is being received; obtaining a coordinate corresponding to the detected RIR; and storing in a memory the coordinate and a link associating the coordinate with the image in which the RIR is detected.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic device for capturing a reproduction speed changing video which is reproducible in all devices without additional encoding, and a control method thereof. The method of controlling an electronic device for capturing a video includes generating, at a first frame rate, a first frame group obtained by photographing a subject, receiving an input for changing a reproduction speed, and determining a second frame rate based on the changed reproduction speed. The method further includes generating, at the second frame rate, a second frame group obtained by photographing the subject, and generating a single video file by encoding the first frame group and the second frame group based on the first frame rate.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus, computer readable medium, and a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus, the method including selecting a template image; receiving an image including a subject and detecting the subject from the received image; and displaying the template image with an image of the subject included in a view area. The displaying may include displaying the template image with an image of the subject included in a view area corresponding to a location of the detected subject. The method may include designating a location of the view area on the template image.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus for synthesizing a plurality of continuously captured images is provided. The photographing apparatus includes a photographing unit that captures a plurality of images by continuously photographing an object; an input unit that receives a selection of a reference image from the plurality of captured images and a modification section in the reference image; a display unit that displays the reference image; a controller that, when the modification section is selected in the reference image and an image for replacing the modification section is determined, generates a mask image based on the modification section and generates a final image by synthesizing the reference image and the image for replacing the modification section using the mask image; and a storage unit that stores a data file including information of the mask image, the plurality of captured images, and the final image.

Abstract: An image processing method includes: defining a selection area in a first still image according to a user input; extracting image data that correspond to the selected area from a second still image; combining the image data extracted from the second still image on the selection area of the first still image to create a composite image; and sequentially displaying the first still image and the composite image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing an image are provided. A processor is configured to detect a region of at least one object from the image, define a plurality of straight lines approximating a boundary of the detected region of the at least one object, and based on the number of points at which each of the plurality of first straight lines coincide with the boundary, extract first image data for a polygonal region. The polygonal region has vertexes at a plurality of first intersection points at which the plurality of straight lines intersect each other. Second image data may be generated by correcting distortion of the first image data. A storage unit stores the second image data, which may also be displayed or transmitted.

Abstract: A method of capturing a moving subject is disclosed. The method includes determining a motion detection area, detecting a motion of a subject in the motion detection area, determining whether or not a value of the motion of the subject is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and sequentially capturing the subject when the value of the motion of the subject is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

Abstract: An image display method includes displaying a captured image, if an object, which is included in the captured image that is displayed, is selected, detecting a boundary of the selected object, discriminating between the object and a remaining image region other than the object based on the detected boundary of the object, and discriminatingly displaying the object through application of different effects to the object and the remaining image region.

Abstract: A method and apparatus update a composition database for storing information for setting a composition. The method includes extracting and displaying at least one composition stored in the composition database, counting a composition selected by a user from among the at least one composition, and updating the composition database according to the result of the count. According to the method, compositions selected by a user from among compositions displayed on a screen are counted, and the result of the count is reflected on the composition database. Accordingly, compositions are displayed in a user-centered manner and photographing convenience is increased, a digital photographing apparatus automatically learns compositions preferred by a user during photographing so as to automatically display the compositions preferred by the user, and a composition based on a pattern of the user is suggested instead of a composition according to a certain place or scene.
