Abstract
An electronic device and an operating method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a camera module, a memory module, and a processor operatively coupled with the camera module and the memory module. The processor acquires an image through the camera module, extracts distance information based on the acquired image, determines an image processing technique for an object based on the extracted distance information, applies the determined image processing technique to the acquired image to generate a new image, and displays the new image.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- a camera module comprising an image sensor;
- a memory module comprising a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled with the display, the camera module and the memory module, wherein the processor is configured to:
