Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and a method for processing an image according to a camera photographing environment and scene by using the same, and the electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises a camera module, a memory, and a processor electrically connected to the camera module and the memory, wherein the processor can be configured to: extract a first parameter for first image data obtained using the camera module; detect situation information on the electronic device by using a sensor or a microphone functionally connected to the electronic device; detect a scene, corresponding to the first image data, among a plurality of predefined scenes; obtain a second parameter on the basis of the first parameter, the situation information, and the scene; generate, on the basis of the second parameter, second image data obtained using the camera module; and display the second image data by using a display functionally connected to the electronic device. Other various embodiments, in addition to the various embodiments of the present invention, are possible.

First claim

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a camera module; a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the camera module and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
extract a first parameter of first image data acquired using the camera module,
detect context information about the electronic device by using a sensor or a microphone functionally connected to the electronic device,
detect a scene corresponding to the first image data from a plurality of predefined scenes,
acquire a second parameter, based on the first parameter, the context information, and the scene,
generate second image data acquired using the camera module, based on the second parameter, and
display the second image data by using a display functionally connected to the electronic device.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
when an input for fixing the second parameter is detected while displaying the second image data, maintain a state of applying the second parameter, when an input for releasing the fixed second parameter is detected while maintaining the second parameter applied state, acquire a third parameter of image data acquired when or before the releasing input is detected, and based on the acquired third parameter, generate and display third image data acquired using the camera module.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display the second image data by changing, based on the second parameter, at least some pixels in the first image data acquired from the camera module.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
store each of the first image data and the second image data in the memory.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
store the acquired second parameter in the memory, and perform post-processing on the first image data stored in the memory, based on the stored second parameter.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
when a specific subject is detected from the first image data, detect the scene based on the detected specific subject.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
calculate an average variation of the second parameter, based on the first image data acquired using the camera module, and generate the second image data acquired using the camera module, based on the calculated average variation of the second parameter.

8 . A method for processing an image in accordance with a camera photographing environment and a scene in an electronic device, the method comprising:
extracting a first parameter of first image data acquired using a camera module; detecting context information about the electronic device by using a sensor or a microphone functionally connected to the electronic device; detecting a scene corresponding to the first image data from a plurality of predefined scenes; acquiring a second parameter, based on the first parameter, the context information, and the scene; and generating and displaying, on a display, second image data acquired using the camera module, based on the second parameter.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
when an input for fixing the second parameter is detected while displaying the second image data, maintaining a state of applying the second parameter; when an input for releasing the fixed second parameter is detected while maintaining the second parameter applied state, acquiring a third parameter of image data acquired when or before the releasing input is detected; and based on the acquired third parameter, generating and displaying third image data acquired using the camera module.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the detecting the scene of the first image data includes:
when a specific subject is detected from the first image data, detecting the scene based on the detected specific subject.

11 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
calculating an average variation of the second parameter, based on the first image data acquired using the camera module, wherein the generating and displaying the second image data includes:
generating and displaying the second image data acquired using the camera module, based on the calculated average variation of the second parameter.

12 . An electronic device comprising:
a camera module; a touch screen display; a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the camera module, the touch screen display, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
sequentially acquire one or more first images and one or more second images, both corresponding to external objects, by using the camera module,
determine a first scene corresponding to the one or more first images among a plurality of scenes,
identify first color information corresponding to the one or more first images,
generate a first filter, based on at least the first scene and the first color information,
correct at least a part of the one or more first images by using the first filter,
display the corrected at least the part of the one or more first images by using the touch screen display,
determine a second scene corresponding to the one or more second images among the plurality of scenes,
identify second color information corresponding to the one or more second images,
