  • Publication number: 20130147801
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus, a method of producing an augmented reality (AR) image, and a computer-readable recording medium. The electronic apparatus may include: an input unit which receives a stereo image acquired by capturing a subject in separate positions and position information of a CG object; a calculator which divides the stereo image into a plurality of areas and calculates depth values of the areas; a renderer which produces a rendered image of the CG object by using the calculated depth values of the areas and the position information of the CG object; and a synthesizer which synthesizes the rendered image and the stereo image.

  • Publication number: 20110157314
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a photographing unit that includes a fisheye lens and that captures an image through the fisheye lens; a memory unit that stores three-dimensional (3D) model information for defining a 3D space; a light source number calculation unit that calculates a number of light sources that irradiate light onto the image captured by the photographing unit and that calculates light source coordinate information that indicates positions of the light sources corresponding to the number of light sources in the image; a light source information calculation unit that calculates parameters regarding the light source in a real space as light source information about parameters in the 3D space, based on the light source coordinate information; a 3D image writing unit that writes a 3D image, based on the 3D model information and the light source information; and a display unit that displays the 3D image, thereby obtaining information about a light source that exists in a real space and disp
