Electronic device for performing object detection and operation method thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• a first image sensor configured to output a first color image captured in a first direction;
• a depth sensor configured to output a depth image corresponding to the first color image;
• a second image sensor configured to output a second color image captured in a second direction;
• and
• a processor configured to perform object detection on an object included in an image, wherein the processor is configured to:
• extract, based on the depth image, a target area from the first color image,
• transform the second color image by merging the target area with the second color image, and
• perform the object detection on the second color image that is transformed.

An operation method of an electronic device, the operation method comprising:

• obtaining a first image produced by photographing a first photographing area;
• obtaining a second image produced by photographing a second photographing area that overlaps the first photographing area;
• obtaining a third image produced by photographing a third photographing area;
• generating disparity information indicating a separation degree of a feature point of the first image and the second image;
• extracting, based on the disparity information, a target area from the first image or the second image;
• transforming the third image by merging the target area with the third image;
• and
• performing object detection on the third image that is transformed.
