Abstract
A digital image processing apparatus and method for supporting a RAW format (a sensor data format before image processing is performed) selectively supports a user-desired region of a captured image in a RAW format. A method of supporting a RAW format in a digital image processing apparatus includes setting at least one portion of an image displayed in a live-view mode as a region of interest (ROI), storing the ROI in a RAW format, storing a non-ROI of the displayed image, which is a portion of the image other than the ROI, in a compression format, and compositing the stored ROI with the stored non-ROI.
Claims16
A method of supporting a RAW format (a sensor data format before image processing is performed) in a digital image processor, the method comprising:
- setting at least one portion of an image displayed in a live-view mode as a region of interest (ROI);
- storing the ROI in a RAW format;
- storing a non-ROI of the displayed image, which is a portion of the image other than the ROI, in a compression format;
- and
- compositing the stored ROI with the stored non-ROI;
- wherein the ROI is automatically set according to a condition that is predetermined based on a scene mode, and
- wherein, if the scene mode is a portrait mode, the ROI is automatically set according to a ratio of a face region recognized on the displayed image.
A digital image processing apparatus for supporting a RAW format (a sensor data format before image processing is performed), the processing apparatus comprising:
- an ROI setup unit that sets at least one portion of an image displayed in a live-view mode as a region of interest (ROI);
- a RAW storage that stores the ROI in a RAW format;
- a compression storage that stores a non-ROI of the displayed image, which is a portion of the image other than the ROI, in a compression format;
- and
- a composition unit that composits the stored ROI with the stored non-ROI;
- wherein the ROI setup unit automatically sets the ROI according to a condition that is predetermined based on a scene mode, and
- wherein, if the scene mode is a portrait mode, the ROI is automatically set according to a ratio of a face region recognized on the displayed image.
