Embodiment Construction

[0020] Here, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, detailed descriptions of known functions or constructions are omitted since they may obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a portable terminal according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the portable terminal includes an effect processor 100 , a first camera module 102 , a second camera module 104 , an input unit 106 , a display unit 108 and a memory 110 . The effect processor 100 includes an effect processing unit 112 , a control unit 114 and a position correction unit 116 . Although the effect processing unit 112, the control unit 114, and the position correction unit 116 may be incorporated into the effect processor 100, they are shown separately for detailed description.

[0022] When it is determined by the effect processing unit 112 that the block of the first ...

Abstract

Provided is an apparatus and method for shooting an image of an object using a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a first camera module, a second camera module, and an effect processor. The first camera module shoots a first image of an object, and the second camera module shoots a second image of the object. The effect processor searches for a block that corresponds to the first image from the second image, checks whether the block searched for from the second image is a block belonging to a background. When the block searched for from the second image is the block belonging to the background, the effect processor blurs the block searched for from the second image. The two camera modules are mounted in the portable camera module to discriminate an object from a background of an image, so that out-of-focus shooting that allows only the object to be focused is realized.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Patent Application No. 2006-29413 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on March 31, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and method for capturing an image of an object using a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a defocusing technique for focusing an object and blurring a background image by using a camera module of the portable terminal. Background technique [0003] Today, almost everyone is using a portable terminal, and service providers and terminal manufacturers compete to develop products (or services) to provide features different from other companies, thereby attracting customers. [0004] For example, portable terminals have been developed as multimedia devices that provide various functions including phonebook, games, short message servi...
