| 20090058991 | METHOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHING PANORAMIC PICTURE - A panoramic picture photographing method permits more accurate photographing of an image, particularly a panoramic image of a subject, without additional equipment, or separate devices and hardware. The method includes projecting an image, which is successively inputted in every predetermined unit of time, to an imaginary surface having a same focal distance in photographing each image constituting a panoramic picture to obtain a projected image; confirming movement of a corresponding photographing apparatus so that the projected image is compared with a previous image in real time by using a motion estimation technique, to which exposure correction has been applied; determining a photographing time point of each image by confirming the confirmed movement of the corresponding photographing apparatus according to a photographing direction has reached a predetermined critical value; and photographing each image at the photographing time point of each image according to a passive input or automatically. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090153685 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PHOTOGRAPHING PANORAMIC PICTURE - A method for photographing a panoramic picture, and for identifying motion of a photographing apparatus to automatically photograph respective images of a panoramic picture. The method steps include: (a) obtaining a first image in response to a request for a panoramic picture photography; (b) identifying motion of a photographing apparatus having obtained the first image, by applying a motion estimation technique to currently input images; (c) automatically determining a photographing direction based on the identified motion of the photographing apparatus; (d) selectively applying a motion estimation technique for estimating motion in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction, according to the determined photographing direction, and identifying motion of the photographing apparatus; (e) judging photographing time points of respective images by identifying that the identified motion of the photographing apparatus has reached a preset threshold value for decision of the photographing time point; and (f) photographing images at the photographing time point of the respective images. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090202106 | METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING MUSIC SCORE IMAGE WITH AUTOMATIC ACCOMPANIMENT IN MOBILE DEVICE - A method for recognizing a music score included in an image and various information included in the music score, which may be obtained through a camera provided in a mobile terminal without requiring a separate editing program. The method includes detecting a region with staff lines from the image including the music score; detecting a region with an accompaniment chord from the image by taking the region with the staff lines and a region with a musical note into consideration; extracting and removing the staff lines from the music score included in the image; recognizing the musical note by extracting the musical note from the image, from which the staff lines have been removed; recognizing the accompaniment chord by extracting the accompaniment chord from the image, from which the staff lines have been removed; and generating data for reproducing a sound source corresponding to the musical note and accompaniment chord. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090202160 | METHOD FOR CODING AND DECODING 3D DATA IMPLEMENTED AS A MESH MODEL - A method for coding three-dimensional (3D) data, and more particularly for coding geometry data included in the 3D data. The method includes: generating a bounding box including a vertex of the 3D data based on information included in the geometry data; dividing the bounding box into a plurality of partitions having an equal size; identifying a number of vertices included in each divided partition; appointing a divided partition as a leaf cell based on the identified number of vertices; and coding the geometry data using information on the dividing of the bounding box, information on vertices included in each divided partition, and information indicating the position of a vertex included in the leaf cell, when a divided partition is subdivided. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090214110 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MOSAIC IMAGE - A method and apparatus for generating a mosaic image by mosaic processing of an image are provided, in which an object to be used in a mosaic is acquired from a received image, the object is stored in a storage medium, a target image to be mosaic-processed is received, a mosaic block size is set, at least one object selected from among objects stored in the storage medium is received for use as a mosaic block, the target image is divided into a plurality of areas each having the mosaic block size, and the object is set as a mosaic block by reflecting a color of each divided area in the object. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100177978 | IMAGE RESTORING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed is an image restoring apparatus and a method thereof, which sets a restoration image area to establish a portion of a target image area to be restored as a restoration image area to be restored with priority according to a request for an image restoration; sets a search area to establish an area with a predetermined size including the restoration image area as a search area; detects a similar image area to search for the most similar image area to the restoration image area within the search area; and reconstructs the deteriorated image in a natural manner by copying the image of the detected similar image area and attaching the same to the restoration image area. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110141257 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REGISTERING PLURALITY OF FACIAL IMAGES FOR FACE RECOGNITION - A facial image registration apparatus and method are provided for registering a plurality of facial images to be used for face recognition. A plurality of facial images are detected and sorted from a plurality of captured images input from a camera unit at the request of a user. A face feature value is calculated for each of the facial images. The face feature value is a score that is applied according to face features of each of the facial images. Facial images selected according to the calculated face feature values are registered as target facial images to be used for face recognition. As such, various facial images may be registered at a user's single request, thus improving a face recognition rate. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110150284 | METHOD AND TERMINAL FOR DETECTING AND TRACKING MOVING OBJECT USING REAL-TIME CAMERA MOTION - A method is provided for detecting and tracking a moving object using real-time camera motion estimation, including generating a feature map representing a change in an input pattern in an input image, extracting feature information of the image, estimating a global motion for recognizing a motion of a camera using the extracted feature information, correcting the input image by reflecting the estimated global motion, and detecting a moving object using the corrected image. | 06-23-2011 |
