Abstract
Electronic devices and methods for processing images are provided. The method includes obtaining a first image and a second image through a first image sensor, extracting depth information from at least one third image obtained through a second image sensor, applying the extracted depth information to the obtained first image and displaying the first image, and applying the extracted depth information to the obtained second image.
Claims20
A portable communication device comprising:
- a touchscreen display;
- a first image sensor;
- a second image sensor;
- and
- a processor adapted to:
- obtain a first image corresponding to one or more external objects using the first image sensor,
- identify a preview image corresponding to the first image,
- obtain a second image corresponding to the one or more external objects using the second image sensor,
- identify depth information corresponding to the one or more external objects based at least in part on the preview image and the second image,
- present, via the touchscreen display, the preview image such that an image effect is applied to at least one portion of the preview image based at least in part on the depth information,
- receive, via the touchscreen display, a user input to capture a still image while the preview image is presented via the touchscreen display, and
- identify the still image based at least in part on applying the image effect to at least one portion of the first image.
