US 12,704,387 B2 · Electronic device and method for providing three-dimensional map

Abstract

An electronic device and a method of operating the same are provided. The electronic device includes a camera module, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and the camera module, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to acquire an image captured by the camera module, acquire a three-dimensional map, based on location information of the electronic device, identify, in the image, a first object corresponding to a celestial body and a second object corresponding to a new terrain feature that is not included in the three-dimensional map, acquire three-dimensional image data of the new terrain feature for updating the three-dimensional map, based on information related to the second object identified based on a location of the first object, and provide a three-dimensional map updated through reflection of the acquired image data.

Dependent claims

An electronic device comprising:

camera circuitry;
memory storing one or more computer programs;
and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and the camera circuitry,
