Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a method for processing image data in the portable electronic device, the method including obtaining an image through an image obtaining unit of the electronic device having a plurality of shot modes; determining each good-to-fit score of the plurality of shot modes for the obtained image; and displaying the each good-to-fit score of the plurality of shot modes for the obtained image along with the obtained image.

Claims (56)

1. A method for processing image data in a portable electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining an image by an image obtaining unit of the portable electronic device having a plurality of shot modes;

determining each good-to-fit score of the plurality of shot modes for the image;

determining each degree of correction for the plurality of the shot modes for the image;

displaying the each good-to-fit score and the each degree of correction of the plurality of shot modes on the image; and

displaying a first icon representing a shot mode of the plurality of the shot modes in which the image is currently processed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the determining of the each good-to-fit score comprises:

calculating the each good-to-fit score for the plurality of shot modes by an image data good-to-fit unit.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the each good-to-fit score comprises:

calculating the each good-to-fit score for the plurality of shot modes in consideration of a human face when the human face is detected from the image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the displaying of the each good-to-fit score and the each degree of correction comprises:

displaying a second icon representing each shot mode of the plurality of shot modes;

displaying a bar representing a good-to-fit score of the each degree of correction for the each shot mode.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying of the each good-to-fit score and the each degree of correction comprises:

determining an optimum shot mode from among the plurality of shot modes by comparing all good-to-fit scores and selecting one of the plurality of shot modes with a highest good-to-fit score; and

displaying the image processed in the optimum shot mode.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the displaying of the each good-to-fit score and the each degree of correction comprises:

selecting any one of the plurality of shot modes through a user input unit; and

displaying the image processed based on the selected shot mode.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining a shot mode having an optimum good-to-fit score by comparing all good-to-fit scores of the plurality of shot modes and selecting one of the plurality of shot modes with a highest good-to-fit score as the optimum good-to-fit score; and

generating a learning correction data by accumulating data on the selected one shot mode selected via the user input unit and the determined shot mode having the optimum good-to-fit score, wherein the determining of the each good-to-fit score comprises:

measuring the each good-to-fit score in consideration of the learning correction data.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

storing the image processed based on the selected shot mode.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an optimum shot mode from among the plurality of shot modes by comparing all good-to-fit scores;

generating a capture image by photographing in the optimum shot mode;

measuring a quality of data of the capture image; and

displaying a score of the quality of data of the capture image.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a stored image by storing the image;

generating a corrected image by correcting the stored image through at least one of the plurality of shot modes; and

displaying the stored image and the corrected image together.

11. A portable electronic device comprising:

an image obtaining unit configured to obtain an image data of an image;

a display unit displays configured to display the obtained image; and

a controller configured to:

determine each good-to-fit score of a plurality of shot modes for the image;

determine each degree of correction for the plurality of the shot modes for the image;

control the display unit to display the each good-to-fit score and the each degree of correction of the plurality of the shot modes on the image; and

control the display unit to display an icon representing a shot mode of the plurality of the shot modes in which the image is currently processed.

12. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a face detecting unit which detects a face of a human subject, wherein the controller is further configured to determine the each good-to-fit score for the plurality of shot modes in consideration of a face detection information received from the face detecting unit.

13. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the controller further comprises a good-to-fit calculating unit which calculates the each good-to-fit score.

14. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a user input unit configured to select at least one of the plurality of shot modes, wherein, the controller processes the image according to a shot mode selection signal input from the user input unit to display the image.

15. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a GPS module configured to measure a current position of the portable electronic device; and

a memory configured to store a map data,

wherein the controller is further configured to

obtain a current position information by using the current position and the map data, and

determine the each good-to-fit score of the plurality of shot modes in consideration with the current position information.

16. The portable electronic device of claim 14 ,

wherein the user input unit includes a rotary type input unit.

17. The portable electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the controller is further configured to generate a portion image about a center of the face included in the image by using the face detecting unit, and control the display unit to display the each good-to-fit score by determining the each good-to-fit of the plurality of shot modes in consideration of the portion image.
