Abstract
A method for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes obtaining an image, detecting at least one object in a facial area from the image, and applying a virtual light source effect to the image based on an attribute of the detected object and displaying the image.
Claims27
A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image from an external device or a camera of the electronic device;
- detecting a facial area from the image;
- detecting at least one object in the facial area from the image;
- applying a virtual light source effect to the image based on an attribute of the detected at least one object, wherein the applying of the virtual light source effect includes:
- identifying a brightness adjustment ratio of each of at least one pixel in the image according to a distance from a virtual light source, and
- adjusting a brightness of the at least one pixel in the image;
- and
- displaying the image to which the virtual light source effect is applied.
5 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- at least one processor electrically connected to the display;
- and
- a memory electrically connected to the processor,
- wherein the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed, configure the at least one processor to:
- obtain an image from an external device or a camera of the electronic device,
- detect a facial area from the image;
- detect at least one object in the facial area from the image,
- apply a virtual light source effect to the image based on an attribute of the at least one detected object, and
- display the image,
- wherein, to apply the virtual light source effect to the image, the at least one processor is further configured to:
- identify a brightness adjustment ratio of each of at least one pixel in the image according to a distance from a virtual light source, and
- adjust a brightness of the at least one pixel in the image.
10 more elements
A method for an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image;
- displaying the image on a display of the electronic device;
- receiving, while displaying the image, a first command to apply a first virtual light source effect on the image;
- in response to receiving the first command, adjusting a pixel value of a first part of pixels of the image as if a virtual light source is positioned at a first position;
- receiving, while displaying the image, a second command to apply a second virtual light source effect on the image;
- and
- in response to receiving the second command, adjusting a pixel value of a second part of pixels of the image as if the virtual light source is positioned at a second position different from the first position.

- at least one processor electrically connected to the display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- obtain an image,
- display the image on a display of the electronic device,
- receive, while displaying the image, a first command to apply a first virtual light source effect on the image,
- in response to receiving the first command, adjust a pixel value of a first part of pixels of the image as if a virtual light source is positioned at a first position,
- receive, while displaying the image, a second command to apply a second virtual light source effect on the image, and
- in response to receiving the second command, adjust a pixel value of a second part of pixels of the image as if the virtual light source is positioned at a second position different from the first position.
