Embodiments are directed to an electronic device including a camera module capturing a video, a memory, and a processor sequentially storing, in the memory, each of a plurality of frames respectively focused during the video capture on a plurality of frame areas selected from the video.

The disclosure relates to a method of delivering a video frame. One implementation may involve spatially partitioning a video frame into a plurality of blocks, encoding at least one of the plurality of blocks of the video frame, and transmitting the at least one of the plurality of blocks of the video frame.

A mobile terminal in which an imaging unit is provided on a front surface side and a display unit and a sensor are provided on a back surface side includes a signal processing unit which, from a signal output by the imaging unit, generates information to be displayed by the display unit, and a control unit into which a signal from the sensor is input and which controls the signal processing unit. A display state of the display unit based on the control performed by the control unit includes a first display state for display in a first display region if no detection signal is being input from the sensor, and a second display state for display in a second display region if a detection signal is being input from the sensor.

A method of measuring the color of a surface may include a device positioned above the surface. The device may include an optical sensor and a display screen. The optical sensor measures visible light level reflected from the surface in a plurality of spectral channels. A plurality of patterns are sequentially displayed on the display screen. The optical sensor is used to measure light reflected by the surface during display of each pattern. A value is determined for the distance from the optical sensor to the illuminated region for a first local maximum of intensity of the measured light reflected by the surface. A location in a color space corresponding to a color of the surface or a reflectance spectrum of the surface is determined based on the visible light level in each spectral channel for the value of the distance corresponding to the first local maximum.

A processor of an imaging apparatus including an imaging element that images a subject through an imaging optical system is configured to: perform a recording control of performing one of: first processing as defined herein; and second processing as defined herein; perform an image shake correction control of correcting an image shake of a captured image output from the imaging element by moving one or both of the imaging element and a lens included in the imaging optical system; perform image processing of generating a live view image for displaying a subject image formed in the second region on a display unit; and perform a control of setting, in a case of performing the first processing, a movable range of at least one of the imaging element and the lens in the image shake correction control to be larger than in a case of performing the second processing.

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for providing a camera service by an electronic device. The electronic device may include a camera, a memory, and at least one processor, the processor configured to control the electronic device to: receive a camera shooting request; display a preview image of an external object obtained through the camera using first area information based on a first shooting mode in response to the shooting request; receive an input corresponding to a second shooting mode in the first shooting mode; and display the preview using second area information corresponding to the second shooting mode in response to the input.

An electronic apparatus according to the present invention, includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information indicating a position of an object in a captured image; a display control unit configured to perform control such that an item having a length in a first direction, which corresponds to a range in a depth direction in the image, is displayed in a display, and a graphic indicating presence of the object is displayed in association with a position corresponding to the positional information in the item; a reception unit configured to be able to receive an operation of specifying a set range which is at least part of the item; and a processing unit configured to perform predetermined processing based on the set range.

An electronic device includes a camera device configured to adjust a focus; a distance extraction device; and a processor configured to: obtain a first image using the camera device; set a first region of interest for focus detection in a portion of the first image; obtain first depth information using the distance extraction device, the first depth information including a depth distance corresponding to at least one pixel included in the first image; set a second region of interest in another portion of the first image based on at least two portions which differ in depth distance being included in the first region of interest based on the first depth information; and capture an image based on a focus determined corresponding to the second region of interest.

A display control apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding a line of sight of a user toward a display unit visually checked by the user through a viewfinder and a control unit configured to display on the display unit an image indicating, in a screen of the display unit, an effective display region in which a display element for calibration of the information is displayed. The control unit performs control so that the effective display region is displayed on the display unit based on any of a plurality of display settings including a first display setting for displaying the effective display region in a first size and a second display setting for displaying the effective display region in a second size smaller than the first size.

Disclosed are various examples for augmented reality based image protection in enterprise settings. In one example, a managed camera application can generate an artificial reality based camera user interface using image data from a field of view of a camera. An indoor position can be identified using global positioning system (GPS) and indoor positioning data. A sector of the field of view can be identified as a protected image area that depicts a protected or confidential object, and the user interface can be updated to include an AR user interface element that is generated relative to the protected image area that is identified.
