Electronic apparatus and image processing method for generating a depth adjusted image file

1. An image processing method comprising:

displaying an image comprising a plurality of objects;

presetting a pre-determined depth;

receiving a touch input, after the presetting of the pre-determined depth, of selecting an object from among the plurality of objects;

changing a depth of the object based on the touch input;

generating a depth adjusted image file of the image based on the changed depth; and

displaying a depth adjusted image based on the generated depth adjusted image file,

wherein the touch input of selecting the object is a touch input of touching the object from among the plurality of objects for at least a reference period of time, and the changing of the depth comprises changing the depth of the selected object to the pre-determined depth in response to the selected object being touched and maintaining a same depth of the other of the plurality of objects.

2. The image processing method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a depth map comprising a plurality of depth values,

wherein the changing of the depth comprises changing one or more of the depth values of the depth map corresponding to the object.

3. The image processing method of claim 2 , further comprising:

capturing the image;

generating the depth map of the image;

storing the generated depth adjusted image file; and

storing the generated depth map.

4. The image processing method of claim 2 , further comprising recognizing the plurality of objects by analyzing the plurality of depth values of the depth map.

5. The image processing method of claim 1 , wherein the image comprises a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and

the changing of the depth comprises changing an offset value of the object from the left-eye image and the right-eye image.

6. The image processing method of claim 1 , wherein the image is a moving image comprising a plurality of frames, and

the changing of the depth comprises changing the depth of the object in each of the plurality of frames.

7. The image processing method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the image from a social network service (SNS); and

uploading the depth adjusted image to the SNS.

8. The image processing method of claim 1 , further comprising blurring an object having a depth different from the changed depth.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display configured to display an image comprising a plurality of objects;

a user input unit, as a touch screen, configured to receive a touch input of selecting an object from among the plurality of objects;

an image processor connected to the user input unit and configured to change a depth of the object based on the touch input, and generate a depth adjusted image file; and

a controller configured to control the display to display the image comprising the plurality of objects, recognize the object and the touch input of the object, control the image processor to change the depth of the object based on a pre-determined depth set prior to receiving the touch input, generate the depth adjusted image file, and control the display to display the depth adjusted image file,

wherein the image processor is further configured to:

in response to receiving the touch input of touching the object from among the plurality of objects for at least a reference period of time, change the depth of the selected object to the pre-determined depth in response to the selected object being touched and maintaining a same depth of the other of the plurality of objects.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the image processor to associate the image with a depth map comprising a plurality of depth values, and

control the image processor to change one or more of the depth values of the depth map corresponding to the object.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising an imaging device; and

a storage configured to store the image comprising the plurality of objects,

wherein the controller is further configured to control the imaging device to capture the image, generate a depth map of the image, and store the depth adjusted image file and the generated depth map in the storage.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the image processor to recognize the plurality of objects by analyzing the plurality of depth values of the depth map.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the image comprises a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and

the controller is further configured to control the image processor to change an offset value of the object from the left-eye image and the right-eye image.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the image is an anaglyph image, and

the controller is further configured to control the image processor to change an offset value of the object from the image.

15. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the image is a moving image comprising a plurality of frames, and

the controller is further configured to control the image processor to change the depth in each of the plurality of frames.

16. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a communicator configured to communicate with a server of a social network service (SNS),

wherein the controller is further configured to control the communicator to upload the depth adjusted image to the server.

17. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the image processor to blur an object having a depth different from the changed depth.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing an image processing method comprising:

displaying an image comprising a plurality of objects;

presetting a pre-determined depth;

receiving a touch input, after the presetting of the predetermined depth, of selecting an object from among the plurality of objects;

changing a depth of the object based on the touch input;

generating a depth adjusted image file of the image based on the changed depth; and

displaying a depth adjusted image based on the generated depth adjusted image file,

wherein the touch input of selecting the object is a touch input of touching the object from among the plurality of objects for at least a reference period of time, and the changing of the depth comprises changing the depth of the selected object to the pre-determined depth in response to the selected object being touched and maintaining a same depth of the other of the plurality of objects.
