Abstract

An electronic device comprises a camera; a sensor configured to sense a motion; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to: sequentially acquire a plurality of images using the camera and acquire motion information of the plurality of images using the sensor, during a specified time; create a panoramic image with a first image sub-set comprising a portion of the plurality of images and a second image sub-set comprising another portion of the plurality of images, and moving picture data related to the panoramic image; and determine whether to correct at least a partial section of the moving picture data using a particular image from the second image sub-set that corresponds to the at least the partial section of the moving picture data, based on the frame rate of the at least the partial section of the moving picture data.

Claims (23)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a camera;

a sensor configured to sense a motion; and

one or more processors,

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

for a specified period of time, sequentially acquire a plurality of images using the camera including a first image sub-set and a second image sub-set, and acquire motion information of electronic device associated with the plurality of images using the sensor;

create a panoramic image mapped in a specified shape to a virtual space, and a moving picture data related to the panoramic image, using the first image sub-set; and

determine whether to correct at least a partial section of the moving picture data based on a frame rate of the at least the partial section of the moving picture data,

wherein correction of the partial section of the moving picture data is completed using a particular image from the second image sub-set corresponding to the partial section.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

store the motion information associated with the plurality of images as meta data of the panoramic image and the moving picture data.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

correct the at least the partial section of the moving picture data when the frame rate of the at least the partial section of the moving picture data is less than a prespecified threshold frame rate.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

extract the particular image corresponding to the at least the partial section of the moving picture data through at least a portion of an operation of correcting the at least the partial section of the moving picture data; and

correct the at least the partial section of the moving picture data by using the extracted particular image.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

insert the particular image into a frame of the at least a partial section of the moving picture data, through at least a portion of an operation of correcting the at least a partial section of the moving picture data, if the at least a partial section of the moving picture data is determined to be corrected.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

skip at least a portion of the at least the partial section of the moving picture data, when the frame rate of the at least a partial section of the moving picture data exceeds a specified frame rate.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

acquire a plurality of images, which corresponds to a first area of the panoramic image, from the second image sub-set; and

create moving picture data corresponding to the first area by using the acquired plurality of images.
