Abstract

A mobile terminal includes: a display unit configured to display an omnidirectional spherical image acquired through an omnidirectional capturing device; and a controller configured to cut out a partial image of the omnidirectional spherical image through a crop handler displayed on the omnidirectional spherical image and display a stitched omnidirectional image by stitching remaining regions of the omnidirectional spherical image.

Claims (22)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a gyro sensor;

a display unit configured to display an omnidirectional spherical image; and

a controller configured to:

cut out a partial image of the omnidirectional spherical image through a crop handler displayed on the omnidirectional spherical image, and

display a stitched omnidirectional image by stitching remaining regions of the omnidirectional spherical image,

wherein the gyro sensor is disabled if the omnidirectional spherical image is reduced to a preset size for editing the omnidirectional spherical image.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the omnidirectional spherical image is divided into a first region to be cut out through the crop handler and a second region not to be cut out.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 2 , wherein, when a size of the first region or a second region is changed, a size of each of a first planar image corresponding to the first region and a second planar image corresponding to the second region is changed according to the changed size.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 2 , wherein the first region is a region corresponding to a portion of an image acquired through a rear camera or a front camera and the rear camera provided in an omnidirectional capturing camera, or a region which is not faced by the front camera and the rear camera.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the first region is provided with two regions, and

wherein the two regions are not respectively faced by the front camera and the rear camera.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the crop handler is any one of a circular crop handler having a circular shape and a pie crop handler having a pie shape.

7. An operating method of a mobile terminal including a gyro sensor, the operating method comprising:

displaying an omnidirectional spherical image;

cutting out a partial image of the omnidirectional spherical image through a crop handler displayed on the omnidirectional spherical image;

stitching remaining images except for the cut-out partial image; and

displaying a stitched omnidirectional image by stitching remaining regions of the omnidirectional spherical image,

wherein the gyro sensor is disabled if the omnidirectional spherical image is reduced to a preset size for editing the omnidirectional spherical image.

8. The operating method of claim 7 , wherein the omnidirectional spherical image is divided into a first region to be cut out through the crop handler and a second region not to be cut out.

9. The operating method of claim 8 , when a size of the first region or the second region is changed, a size of each of a first planar image corresponding to the first region and a second planar image corresponding to the second region is changed according to the changed size.

10. The operating method of claim 8 , wherein the first region is a region corresponding to a portion of an image acquired through a rear camera or a front camera and the rear camera provided in an omnidirectional capturing camera, or a region which is not faced by the front camera and the rear camera.
