Abstract
The disclosure provides an electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof. The electronic apparatus of the disclosure includes a sensor, a camera, and a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to: obtain information regarding a predetermined object among a plurality of objects included in an imaging region of the camera through the sensor, identify an object region corresponding to the predetermined object from the imaging region of the camera based on the obtained information, and based on the imaging region being captured through the camera, control the camera to not capture the object region.
Claims12
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a sensor;
- a camera comprising a lens and an image sensor comprising a plurality of light detectors configured to obtain images corresponding to an imaging region of the camera through the lens;
- and
- a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to:
- obtain information regarding a predetermined object among a plurality of objects included in an imaging region of the camera through the sensor, wherein the information comprises a distance between the camera and the predetermined object and a size of the predetermined object obtained through the sensor,
- identify whether an object among the plurality of objects corresponds to the predetermined object based on the obtained information and information regarding the predetermined object,
- identify an object region corresponding to the predetermined object from the imaging region of the camera based on the obtained information and focal length of the camera,
- control the camera to block a light corresponding to the identified object area by cutting off a power supply of at least one light detector corresponding to the object region among the plurality of light detectors, and
- obtain an image corresponding to the imaging region of the camera excluding the object region through the camera.
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus comprising a sensor and a camera comprising a lens and an image sensor comprising a plurality of light detection elements configured to obtain images corresponding to an imaging region of the camera through the lens, the method comprising:
- obtaining information regarding a predetermined object among a plurality of objects included in an imaging region of the camera through the sensor, wherein the information comprises a distance between the camera and the predetermined object and a size of the predetermined object obtained through the sensor;
- identifying whether an object among the plurality of objects corresponds to the predetermined object based on the obtained information and information regarding the predetermined object;
- identifying an object region corresponding to the predetermined object from the imaging region of the camera based on the obtained information and focal length of the camera;
- controlling the camera to block a light corresponding to the identified object area by cutting off a power supply of at least one light detection element corresponding to the object region among the plurality of light detection;
- and
- obtaining an image corresponding to the imaging region of the camera excluding the object region through the camera.
A electronic apparatus comprising:
- a camera comprising a lens and an image sensor comprising a plurality of light detection elements configured to obtain images corresponding to an imaging region of the camera through the lens;
- a sensor configured to detect a predetermined object among a plurality of objects included in the imaging region of the camera;
- and
- a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to:
- obtain, from the sensor, information regarding a position of the predetermined object in the imaging region of the camera,
- identify an object region, in the imaging region of the camera, corresponding to the predetermined object based on the obtained information,
- control the camera to block a light corresponding to the identified object area by cutting off a power supply of a portion of the light detection elements corresponding to the identified object region, and
- obtain, from the camera, an image captured by the camera during a period when the power supply of the portion of the light detection elements is cut off.
