Apparatus and method for recognizing image

摘要

A method for recognizing an image in an electronic device is provided so as to determine whether or not a specific object is actually within the presence of (immediate photographable vicinity) of the electronic device based on certain characteristics of one or more images of the specific object. Images of the specific object which is focused and shot at different magnifications are obtained. Characteristics of an object region and a background region between the obtained images are compared. Whether the object is real is determined depending on the comparison result. An apparatus hardware configured for operation of the method in electronic devices including but limited to mobile terminals.

1. A method for recognizing an image in an electronic device, the method comprising:
obtaining by processing unit images of a specific object which is focused and captured at different magnifications by a camera subsystem; comparing by the processing unit in conjunction with a camera module characteristics of an object region and a background region between the obtained images; and determining by the processing unit whether the specific object is physically within the presence of the camera subsystem and is not a copy or photo of the specific object depending on the comparison result.
