Claims18
An apparatus for compositing images in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a first camera;
- a second camera;
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the display to display a first image and a second image, wherein the first image and the second image are respectively obtained from the first camera and the second camera;
- identify, in the displayed first image, a first touch input for selecting a first portion of the first image;
- identify, in the displayed second image, a second touch input for selecting a second portion of the second image;
- determine that the first portion and the second portion can be composed together by comparing shapes of the first portion and the second portion;
- based on a determination that the first portion and the second portion have different shapes, adjust the first portion and the second portion so that the first portion and the second portion have the same shape;
- and
- composite, in response to identifying the first touch input and the second touch input or in response to adjusting the first portion and the second portion, the first portion of the first image on the second portion of the second image such that a background of the second portion of the second image is a background of the first portion of the first image;
- and
- display the composited image.
A method for compositing images in a portable terminal having a first camera and a second camera, the method comprising:
- displaying the first image and a second image on a screen of the portable terminal, wherein the first image and the second image are respectively obtained from the first camera and the second camera;
- identifying, in the displayed first image, a first touch input for selecting a first portion of the first image;
- identifying, in the displayed second image, a second touch input for selecting a second portion of the second image;
- determining that the first portion and the second portion can be composed together by comparing shapes of the first portion and the second portion;
- based on a determination that the first portion and the second portion have different shapes, adjusting the first portion and the second portion so that the first portion and the second portion have the same shape;
- and
- compositing, in response to identifying the first touch input and the second touch input or in response to adjusting the first portion and the second portion, the first portion of the first image on the second portion of the second image such that a background of the second portion of the second image is a background of the first portion of the first image;
- and
- displaying the composited image.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that includes a program for implementing operations, the operations comprising:
- displaying the first image and a second image on a screen of a portable terminal, wherein the first image and the second image are respectively obtained from a first camera and a second camera, wherein the first camera and the second camera are disposed on the portable terminal;
- identifying, in the displayed first image, a first touch input for selecting a first portion of the first image;
- identifying, in the displayed first image, a second touch input for selecting a second portion of the second image;
- determining that the first portion and the second portion can be composed together by comparing shapes of the first portion and the second portion;
- based on a determination that the first portion and the second portion have different shapes, adjusting the first portion and the second portion so that the first portion and the second portion have the same shape;
- and
- compositing, in response to identifying the first touch input and the second touch input or in response to adjusting the first portion and the second portion, the selected first portion of the first image on the selected second portion of the second image such that a background of the second portion of the second image is a background of the first portion of the first image.
