Image processing method using gaze information and electronic device implementing the same

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions, and;
• a processor,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
• obtain a first image comprising an RGB image and a first depth image as components of the first image,
• obtain at least two image regions by processing the first image based on gaze point information through an artificial intelligence (AI) network, and
• obtain a second depth image based on the at least two image regions,
• wherein, in the at least two image regions, image qualities of respective image regions are different, and
• wherein a resolution of the first depth image is lower than a resolution of the second depth image.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• obtain a first image, wherein the first image comprises an RGB image and a first depth image as components of the first image;
• obtain at least two image regions by processing the first image through an artificial intelligence (AI) network based on gaze point information;
• and
• obtain a second depth image based on the at least two image regions,
• wherein, in the at least two image regions, image qualities of respective image regions are different, and
• wherein a resolution of the first depth image is lower than a resolution of the second depth image.
